summary	Andrew Holt’s August 9, 2023 entry challenges Eurocentric narratives of the Spanish Inquisition and broader medieval history. It argues that commonalities exist between the Spanish Inquisition, the Visigothic Kingdom, the Tang Dynasty, and the Carolingian Dynasty, questioning the idea of a uniquely “European” medieval period. The piece critiques the tendency to apply a Eurocentric lens to non-Western cultures, suggesting it represents “Western academic imperialism.” It raises questions about connections between disparate historical groups, including the Toltecs, Hohenstaufens, The Epic of Sundiata, and the Nibelungenlied, to destabilize a purely Eurocentric interpretation of the “Global Middle Ages.”
