Abstract
Nous étudions la progression, au siècle des Lumières en France, de la critique de l'Inquisition espagnole à partir de l'oeuvre de Montesquieu, en montrant comment Voltaire, principal défenseur de la tolérance religieuse du siècle, a approfondi l'analyse de Montesquieu pour faire de l'Inquisition espagnole un modèle exemplaire du fanatisme religieux, et comment finalement Voltaire a pour sa part influencé les articles sur le sujet rédigés par Louis de Jaucourt pour l'Encyclopédie.
