Let me try to understand what Gilbert is saying here. He appears to be saying that the real history behind the inquisition is something entirely different. The inquisition was not what people thought it was. It was merely a system of justice to prosecute people who had actually committed all sorts of crimes, and who would have been prosecuted today anyhow. In Dellon's case it could have been adultery on his part or petty jealousy on the Governor's part. Am I correct in this assessment?
