medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
i'm sure you're right, Phil.
i've been proofreading papers in English by Korean graduate students, and
there are no articles (a, an, the) in Korean, so they can't figure out when to
use one in English and when not too --and i've had very little success in
explaining the wierdnesses of my Mother Tongue to them.
so, i hardly noticed the absence of a "the" before inquisition, trying to get
out of my proofreading mode.
that being said, "presents how the Inquisition was established" seems to me to
suggest that the guy is talking about, well, "the Inquisition."
but, what do i know?
i don't even speak Korean.
i was just trying to see if the list was awake today.
