Sotos contra Riquelmes
Todo parece que comenzó un día indeterminado de un año también impreciso en torno a 1550. Aquel día el alcalde mayor de Lorca –oficio que representaba a la autoridad del rey y que se ejercía en nombre del corregidor residente en Murcia–, el licenciado Quevedo hablaba un tanto desaforadamente en la plaza mayor de la ciudad. Era aquel un lugar concurrido y, en orgullosa altanera ostentación del poder, el dicho Quevedo amenazó públicamente a tal Magdalena López, mujer ya entrada en años y viuda de «un tal Monzón». A grandes voces, aquel Licenciado Quevedo decía en la plaza que «…juraba a Dios y a la señal de la Cruz que traía en las manos que había de hacer que los inqu...
Poderes intermedios, poderes interpuestos
Que duda cabe que la reflexión sobre las oligarquías en la sociedad moderna está a la orden del día. No es tanto una moda como una cuestión recurrente -la del poder-, que continuamente sale al paso en la maraña de nuestras investigaciones. Muchos investigadores han mostrado su interés en esta materia, bien desde sus comienzos, bien en algún momento concreto de su trayectoria científica. Su obsesión ha sido comprender el origen de ese poder, su carácter, las maneras de su ejercicio, los medios de su expansión, su interrelación con otros poderes... En este caso, precisamente, un sustancioso elenco de especialistas de varias universidades españolas que se reunieron para hablar sobre el tema en un Seminario organizado en Ciudad Real por el Área de Historia Moderna del Departamento de Historia de la Facultad de Letras de la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha los días 11 y 12 de diciembre de 1996.
Cultural Encounters
More than just an expression of religious authority or an instrument of social control, the Inquisition was an arena where cultures met and clashed on both shores of the Atlantic. This pioneering volume examines how cultural identities were maintained despite oppression. Persecuted groups were able to survive the Inquisition by means of diverse strategies--whether Christianized Jews in Spain preserving their experiences in literature, or native American folk healers practicing medical care. These investigations of social resistance and cultural persistence will reinforce the cultural significance of the Inquisition. More than just an expression of religious authority or an instrument of soci...

The Spanish Inquisition

Visions of Deliverance
In Visions of Deliverance, Mayte Green-Mercado traces the circulation of Muslim and crypto-Muslim apocalyptic texts known as joferes through formal and informal networks of merchants, Sufis, and other channels of diffusion among Muslims and Christians across the Mediterranean from Constantinople and Venice to Morisco towns in eastern Spain. The movement of these prophecies from the eastern to the western edges of the Mediterranean illuminates strategies of Morisco cultural and political resistance, reconstructing both productive and oppositional interactions and exchanges between Muslims and Christians in the early modern Mediterranean. Challenging a historiography that has primarily underst...
Souls in Dispute
Throughout the Middle Ages, the Iberian Peninsula was home to a rich cultural mix of Christians, Jews, and Muslims. At the end of the fifteenth century, however, the last Islamic stronghold fell, and Jews were forced either to convert to Christianity or to face expulsion. Thousands left for other parts of Europe and Asia, eventually establishing Sephardic communities in Amsterdam, Venice, Istanbul, southwestern France, and elsewhere. More than a hundred years after the expulsion, some Judeoconversos—descendants of Spanish and Portuguese Jews who had converted to Christianity—were forced to flee the Iberian Peninsula once again to avoid ethnic and religious persecution. Many of them joine...

The Complexity of Hispanic Religious Life in the 16th–18th Centuries
In The Complexity of Hispanic Religious Life in the 16th–18th Centuries, Doris Moreno has assembled a team of leading scholars to discuss and analyze the diversity of Hispanic religious and cultural life in the Early Modern Age. Using primary sources to look beyond the Spanish Black Legend and present new perspectives, this book explores the realities of a changing and plural Catholicism through the lens of crucial topics such as the Society of Jesus, the Inquisition, the Martyrdom, the feminine visions and conversion medicine. This volume will be an essential resource to all those with an interest in the knowledge of multiple expressions of tolerance and cultural dialectic between Spain and the Americas.
