The Trial of Joan of Arc

Descriere

This is the most complete and accurate account of the 1431 Inquisition-style trial that led to the French heroine's execution for heresy. The verbatim report of the proceedings is introduced by a brief history of the peasant girl's mission, military victories, and capture. A valuable historical resource, this volume preserves Joan's actual words and provides insights into her character. Period woodcuts enhance the text.
