In the Royal Palace of the Inquisition of Barcelona, on the ninth day of
October, one thousand six hundred and thirtyfive, the Inquisitor, Dr
Domingo Abbad y Huerta being at his morning audience, ordered the above
Pedro Ginesta to be brought from prison, which being done, and the
prisoner present, he was
Questioned, if he remembered anything which he was bound to declare in
discharge of his conscience, according to the oath he had sworn.
Answered, that he had nothing more to say.
The prisoner was then informed that Doctor Francisco Magrina, his
counsel, was present, with whom he might communicate and take measures
for his defence. The publication of the testimony against the prisoner,
with his answers to the same, were then read to the said Dr Francisco
Magrina, who proceeded to confer with the prisoner about his defence.
Having done this he received from the hands of the prisoner a sheet of
paper, upon which he drew up articles of defence which were then read to
the prisoner and he declared that he made a formal presentation of the
same. Here follows the defence.
