Acquittals in the Spanish Inquisition
The Spanish Inquisition has become such a byword for injustice that many forget it was also a judicial system capable of acquittal. This study of more than 67,000 trials uncovers over 2,500 formal acquittals, more than 6,600 suspended trials, and nearly 2,100 with unknown or no recorded outcomes. The inquisitors were jurists who frequently held other judgeships before and after their tenure and used the same evidentiary rules as other Spanish courts. If every acquittal may be taken as an admission of error, the Spanish Inquisition admitted its errors thousands of times, occasionally even putting them on public display at the autos de fe. An acquittal can also be taken as a sign that the inquisitors did not wish to punish the innocent and that while they were quick to arrest and charge people on flimsy evidence, they were too conscientious to convict them without further proof. However, it is also clear that the Holy Office at times did bend, twist, or even break the law when it suited it in order to secure a conviction. This book is aimed at students, scholars, and general readers seeking a nuanced understanding of the Spanish Inquisition and its workings.

Historia de la Comunicación Social del Ecuador: prensa, radio, televisión y cibermedios (1792-2013).Vol I. Azuay, Loja y el austro ecuatoriano
Aquella memorable iniciativa de Eugenio Espejo de publicar el 5 de enero de 1792, en las postrimerías del régimen colonial, Primicias de la cultura de Quito, el inicio del periodismo en el Ecuador, fue replicada treinta y seis años después en Cuenca, cuando fray Vicente Solano puso a circular El Eco del Asuay (sic), el primer periódico que salió a la luz en nuestra, aún balbuciente, vida republicana. Era el domingo 13 de enero de 1828, días en los que bullían las ambiciones y tambaleaba la Gran Colombia. Se trataba de un impreso en folio de cuatro páginas a dos columnas de edición clara y limpia y en cuya primera página ostentaba un epígrafe tomado de una frase de Rousseau que d...
The Indigenous Languages of South America
The Indigenous Languages of South America: A Comprehensive Guide is a thorough guide to the indigenous languages of this part of the world. With more than a third of the linguistic diversity of the world (in terms of language families and isolates), South American languages contribute new findings in most areas of linguistics. Though formerly one of the linguistically least known areas of the world, extensive descriptive and historical linguistic research in recent years has expanded knowledge greatly. These advances are represented in this volume in indepth treatments by the foremost scholars in the field, with chapters on the history of investigation, language classification, language endangerment, language contact, typology, phonology and phonetics, and on major language families and regions of South America.
