El Santo Oficio de la Inquisición en Barcelona y soldados protestantes en el ejército de Cataluña
2008
The case summaries sent to the central council of the Inquisition in Madrid by the tribunal in Barcelona show that a number of Protestant soldiers were in Spanish service in the second half of the seventeenth century. These soldiers were not persecuted by the Holy Office, but denounced themselves voluntarily in order to be allowed to convert to Catholicism. The majority of them were from German-speaking areas, and many came from within the Holy Roman Empire. The letters exchanged between Madrid and Barcelona show that this reflected a deliberate policy by the Inquisition of not trying soldiers in Spanish service, nor prisoners of war or deserters from the French army during this period.
De Pablo a Saulo: traducción, crítica y denuncia de los libros plúmbeos por el P. Ignacio de las Casas, S. J.
2002
The Morisco Jesuit P. Ignacio de Las Casas collaborated in the translation of some of the lead books found in Granada at the end of the 16th century. At first he was a partisan of their authenticity, but he rapidly became convinced that they were false. There followed a fierce struggle to make the Church prevent their publication. In the article his activity as a translator of these texts is reviewed, together with the arguments, which he used in order to criticise the doctrine contained in the lead books. In addition to noting the presence of Islamic elements, de Las Casas saw in them clear signs of ancient anti-trinitarian heresies. Although he does not consider them the work of Moriscos,…

Religiosidad femenina y herej́ıa: monjas y beatas «luteranas» ante la Inquisición de Sevilla en tiempos del Emperador
2016
Resumen: Durante la represión del luteranismo en Sevilla (1557-1565), las mujeres representaron un porcentaje importante de los condenados. Y entre las supliciadas destacan mujeres que desempeñaron un papel y un rol central en la difusión de las nuevas doctrinas. Nos centraremos más particularmente en el caso de las religiosas y beatas procesadas en aquella ocasión. Palabras clave: Sevilla, Siglo XVI, Luteranismo, Inquisición, mujeres Abstract: During the repression of Lutherian heresy in Seville (1557-1565), women represented a significant percentage of the convicted. And among the persons sentenced to death, women played a central role in the spread of the new doctrines. We will focus mo…
Marcion: A New Perspective on his Life, Theology, and Impact
2010
The main argument of the present article is that previous scholarship has turned Marcion’s exegesis of Scripture upside down. He did not find the inspiration for his doctrine in the teachings of the Apostle Paul, it is the Old Testament and its portrait of an inconsistent, vengeful and cruel God which forms the centre of his theology. Marcion does not understand the Old Testament in the light of the New, he interprets the New Testament in the light of the Old.
Representation and Ostensible Authority in Medieval Learned Law
2019
When is it possible to hold valid an act done unlawfully? To answer the question, medieval civil lawyers focused mainly on the case of a slave elected praetor in the mistaken belief that he was a Roman citizen. Most jurists argued that the validity of an act should depend on the validity of its source. But whilst early civil lawyers thought that the source was the person vested with some specific powers (such as the judge, the notary, etc.), later on they began to think of the person as representative of an office, and to ascribe the acts directly to the office itself. This evolution – and so, the foundations of the concept of ostensible authority – was due to the influence of canon lawyers…
L’Accademia degli Ortolani (1543-1545). Eresia, stampa e cultura a Piacenza nel medio Cinquecento
2011
Unica Accademia piacentina del Rinascimento, il cenacolo ortolano è una vera e propria lente attraverso cui è possibile leggere fenomeni di larga scala e di più ampio interesse: le ragioni del proliferare delle accademie nella penisola italiana nel medio Cinquecento, la circolazione libraria nell’Italia centro settentrionale, il ruolo dell’intellettuale in quell’epoca, e infine il testo a stampa come veicolo di idee non ortodosse. Il mondo culturale non universitario nel XVI secolo italiano si manifesta come ruolo complesso: l’accademia, di fatto, è una struttura elastica che si piega alle esigenze della società. The only Piacenza Academy of the Renaissance, the ortolan cenacle is a real le…
Quand le nom fait l’hérétique. Les mots de l’illuminisme castillan de 1525
2018
This article offers a short analysis of the different meanings and connotations of the three names given in 1525 by Toledo's Holy Office to the new Cas lian here cs-the « alumbrados », also called « dexados » and « perfects ». In order to be exhaustive, this taxinomic study of Castilian illuminism adds the name « recogidos » to this list, since those spirituals are often mentioned in the testimonies included in the trials. The comparison between the inquisitorial documents-the Toledo Edict, the minutes of the trials-and the pleas of the accused, along with some of the main contemporary spiritual books, reveals the discrepancy between the way the alumbrados called themselves and the name the…
