In the Royal Palace of the Inquisition of Barcelona, on the twentyninth
day of January one thousand six hundred and thirtythree, the
Inquisitors, Dr Bernardo Luis Cotoner and Dr Domingo Abbad y Huerta,
being at their morning audience, ordered the aforesaid Juan Duran to be
brought from prison, which being done, and the prisoner present, he was
Questioned, if he recollected anything relating to his affair which he
was bound in conscience to divulge.
Answered, that he had nothing more to say.
He was then informed that the Fiscal of this Holy Office had demanded
publication of the testimony against him, before which it would be well
for him to bethink himself and declare the entire truth; by doing which,
his trial would be despatched with all brevity and mercy.
Answered, that he had nothing more to say.
Straightway appeared the said Francisco Gregorio, Promoter Fiscal of
this Holy Office, and requested publication of the testimony against the
said Juan Duran, according to the style of the Holy Office. The said
Inquisitors then ordered the publication to be made, concealing the
names of the witnesses, and other circumstances which might tend to
discover their persons, according to the orders and style of the Holy
Office.
