Okay I've browsed through his "work" today at the library... it's disappointing to see such shoddy scholarly research passed off as credible research - the shame of politics can strike anywhere I guess.
Basically the guy's numbers don't match up at all with many of the primary sources or records of the Inquisitional courts themselves... his numbers for the total trials in Spain are off by almost 50% - but I guess he can "claim" the other courts weren't Church courts because they were joint courts with the secular monarch.
About the only use for his findings are the bibliography - at least it can lead to further and more enlightening research...
