This section of Ereticopedia, online since May 2013 and continuously being updated and expanded, offers a targeted navigation through a series of detailed entries or shorter biographical notes regarding individuals who served the Roman Inquisition starting from 1542: in primis the cardinal inquisitors, followed by the general commissioners, assessors, consultants of the Congregation, as well as delegates, vicars, consultants, etc. of the local tribunals. A specific sub-section is dedicated to the local structures of the Roman Inquisition; further sub-sections are devoted to the local structures of the Spanish Inquisition and the Portuguese Inquisition.

Part of the work carried out within this repertory has been published in the volume I giudici della fede. L'Inquisizione romana e i suoi tribunali in età moderna (Edizioni CLORI, Florence 2017), with a preface by Herman H. Schwedt and an introduction by Daniele Santarelli. The book provides chronological lists of the inquisitors of the local seats of the Roman Inquisition in the early modern era, with the aim of offering the public an accessible and user-friendly reference tool that complements the entries already available online. The Judges of the Faith is suitable for dual use: when consulted in digital form and online, it integrates with the pages of Ereticopedia, which effectively serve as its “expansion,” continuously being updated and developed; when consulted in print, it functions as a practical repertory for scholars and enthusiasts, who can “navigate” offline through the inquisitorial seats in search of valuable historical information. The volume is freely available and downloadable in digital format from the publisher's website and/or can be purchased in printed format on Amazon.

The Repertory of Inquisitors and Inquisitorial Seats, in addition to being a transversal and autonomous section of Ereticopedia, is part of the digital series project La “Ruota dei libri”: corpora, repertori e dizionari online.

et tamen e summo, quasi fulmen, deicit ictos
invidia inter dum contemptim in Tartara taetra
invidia quoniam ceu fulmine summa vaporant
plerumque et quae sunt aliis magis edita cumque
