The Inquisition was theologically anchored in the principle that there could be no salvation outside the Church ( nullus salus extra ecclesiam). So there is an institutional aspect and a legal procedural aspect to the Inquisition. From now on, it designated both an extraordinary authority appointed by the Catholic Church and the procedure used by this authority to track down and prosecute religiously dissenting people, or so-called heretics. It was only in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries that the term underwent a change in meaning. It appears in texts from Antiquity, the Middle Ages and early modern times in a wide range of meanings, from the search for the solution of a philosophical problem, to looking for a lost item. The history of the word shows its originally broad meaning, which was not related to religion: Inquisition, derived from the Latin verb inquirere, simply means investigation. When we think of the term 'inquisition', images of dungeons, burning stakes, fanatical monks and tortured women immediately come to mind.
