“_The Greatest Historical Work yet Produced in America_”
A HISTORY OF THE
INQUISITION OF SPAIN
BY
HENRY CHARLES LEA, LL.D.
_In Four Volumes_
“An achievement which places its author at the head of all American
historical students now living. It makes him the peer of Motley,
Prescott and Parkman, his only competitors in the past. To put the
matter shortly Mr. Lea has produced a work on a subject of
absorbing interest, which for many a long day to come must serve as
an authority to European experts on the subject.”--_New York
Times._
_The New York Tribune_ describes the work as “an historical classic
in which thoroughness, fairness and reserve are combined in a
readable presentation of facts of universal interest.”
“Dr. Lea has given the world of thoughtful students a work that
will have a lasting place and a growing power in the right use of
history. His works have found many readers in Europe, where the
questions of Church and State are much more acute than in this
country. Here scholars and the growing army of historical students
and writers all unite to do honor to Doctor Lea as the foremost
American historian, whose researches in an almost unknown field
have shown how great a power he possesses of throwing new light on
old facts and marshalling historical evidence so as to give the
world a new picture of a far-distant past.”--_Philadelphia Ledger._
“Rarely has so significant an institution been so sanely and
comprehensively studied, and rarely has the reader been placed in
so good a position to observe its workings and draw his own
conclusions from the evidence presented.”--_The Nation._
It is one of the most interesting problems in human history that Spain,
whose brilliant achievements promised to make her as dominant in the
world of letters as in military and naval enterprise, should, within the
space of a couple of generations, have become the most uncultured land
in Christendom. For this there must have been a cause and no other
adequate one than the Inquisition has been discovered. In this work Dr.
Lea makes clear the progress of its influence.

_BY THE SAME AUTHOR_
HISTORY OF THE
INQUISITION OF THE MIDDLE AGES
_In Three Volumes_
“To write of the Inquisition without bitterness, to bring the operations
to calm analysis, to seek out its origin and reason for being in the
conditions of the time, and to trace its influences--such is the task to
which Dr. Lea brings the experience of a born investigator and the poise
and dignity of a trained historian.”--_New York Tribune._
“There are some books which reveal the loftiest effort of a broad and
earnest life; such a book springs from the highest aims, and will
therefore be recognized not only as scientific, but as giving impulse to
the intellectual action and aspiration of its epoch. Such a book is the
‘History of the Inquisition of the Middle Ages,’ by Henry Charles
Lea.”--_Frankfurter Zeitung._

_In Two Volumes, Third Edition, Revised_
Of special interest to those who are watching a modern trend toward

terms it, proved so destructive to the commercial prosperity of the
island that, in 1695, the Jews were invited to return, under certain
rigorous restrictions. As they manifested no readiness to avail
themselves of the permission, the invitation was repeated in a more
attractive form in 1727 and, this proving unavailing, still further
inducements were offered in 1740. Even this, however, did not produce
the desired effect and the edict was revoked in 1747.--Ibidem, pp.

Although no salary is here provided for the Bishop of Cefalù, it does
not follow that bishops were expected to serve gratuitously. When Pedro
de Belorado was sent to Sicily as Archbishop of Messina and inquisitor,
Obregon was ordered, Sept. 10, 1501, to pay him the same salary as that
of Sgalambro whom he replaced.--Ibidem.

an attribution of the troubles of 1511 to the Inquisition, though
Doctor Real, as an official of the tribunal, ought to be good
authority, even though not a contemporary. Fazelli, who was a boy at
the time, says (De Rebus Siculis, Decad. II, Lib. ix,
cap. 11) that it was occasioned by the outrages committed by the unpaid
and starving Spanish troops.

One of Moncada’s arbitrary acts concerned the Inquisition. In 1517,
when the receiver Garcí Cid was settling his accounts, he claimed
credit for 700 ounces which he had deposited with a banker in Messina,
where Moncada seized it. Cardinal Adrian the inquisitor-general
thereupon ordered Inquisitor Cervera to summon the banker to return
the money, for the viceroy had express orders from Ferdinand not to
meddle with the property of the tribunal. If, however, the banker
could prove that Moncada had taken it by force, then Garcí Cid could
proceed to collect it from the revenues of the Priorazgo of St. John
at Messina, which belonged to Moncada. If the banker could not prove
this, he must pay the money and have recourse against the property and
revenues of Moncada. Hereafter, Adrian concludes, no one shall dare to
take the property of the Inquisition, for the Catholic king ordered
that it should be used to purchase rents for the perpetuation of the
tribunal.--Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Lib. 933.

A letter of August 19, 1519, from the Suprema to Calvete expresses
the highest satisfaction with him and offers him, on his return to
Spain, one of the principal tribunals of Castile. In 1529 we find him
Inquisitor of Sarogossa.--Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Lib. 74,
fol. 165; Lib. 76, fol. 183.
Calvete’s earlier years of office were much harassed by a suit brought
against him in Rome by Juan de Leon, a canon of Córdova. Prior to
1516, Calvete as provisor of Córdova had prosecuted Leon and some
others for rescuing a culprit from an alguazil. Leon nursed his wrath
and when in Rome, in 1519, commenced an action against Calvete in the
papal courts which caused him so much vexation that he threatened to
abandon his post in Sicily and return to Spain. Charles V intervened,
writing repeatedly to his ambassadors, to cardinals and to Leon
himself, threatening him with the seizure of his temporalities, but
the vindictive canon held good and, in 1520, obtained a judgement
of 1000 ducats and costs, as Calvete could not go to Rome to defend
himself.--Archivo de Simancas, Inq., Lib. 6, fol. 74, 75, 78; Lib. 9,

tribunals of Majorca, Sardinia and Sicily.--Ibidem, Lib. 3, fol. 251-4.

p. 204.
The phraseology of the decree would seem to suspend the spiritual as
well as the temporal jurisdiction of the tribunal and historians have
generally so regarded it. This however is impossible as the former
was a delegation from the pope over which the emperor had no control
and any attempt to do so would have been equivalent to abolishing the
Inquisition, while the auto of 1541 shows that it continued to exercise
its spiritual jurisdiction. It assumed however that its capacity to
suppress heresy was fatally crippled by depriving its officials of the
privilege of its exclusive forum, as expressed in a document quoted
by Franchina (p. 69)--“Notandum est quod quando in anno 1535 fuit
limitata seu suspensa jurisdictio temporalis hujus Sancti Officii in
aliquibus casibus per invictissimum imperatorem Carolum V felicis
memoriæ, jurisdictio spiritualis causarum fidei fuit in suspenso et
quasi mortua.” So a consulta of the Suprema to Philip III, October 2,
1609, refers to Charles having deprived the Sicilian Inquisition of its
temporal jurisdiction, resulting in such recrudescence of heresy that
he was obliged to restore it.--Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Lib.
927, fol. 323.
Inquisitor Páramo, in a letter of November 8, 1600, to Philip III,
states the case to be that Charles was misled by false accounts of the
misdeeds of the familiars and deprived them of their immunities but, on
being better informed, he restored them.--Ibidem, Lib. 41, fol. 258.

financial mismanagement of the Sicilian tribunal was notorious. In
1560, the Contador-general Zurita states that he had finished auditing
its accounts with much labor, as they had not been examined for twenty
years and were in much disorder.--Ibidem, fol. 239.

5. The date of this affair is not unimportant and has curiously been
involved in doubt. As printed by Llorente, the letter of December 16,
1543, is duly signed Prince Philip and is doubtless correctly dated, as
Terranova was governor in 1544 (Gervasii Siculæ Sanctiones, I, 295).
It is somewhat remarkable that in the Simancas archives (Legajo 1465,
fol. 60) there are two letters of Philip II on this affair, one dated
from the Escorial, April 24, 1568, to the Sicilian inquisitors and the
other to Terranova, dated from Madrid, April 29, 1568. The dates are
evidently erroneous for in that year the Marquis of Pescara was viceroy
(Gervasii, III, 121). Portocarrero also blunders in the date (_op.
cit._, n. 105), placing the affair in 1608. La Mantia moreover says (p.
52) that a MS. copy of a letter of the inquisitors, April 10th, bears
a later date. A letter of the Suprema to the inquisitors, prescribing
the punishment, is dated December 15th, without indication of the year
(Simancas, Lib. 78, fol. 372). It speaks of two familiars tortured,
orders Terranova to hear mass in a monastery as a penitent and to pay
the sufferers 200 ducats, to which the officials concerned in the
affair were to add 100 more.

and their converts and one of the missionaries had been burnt alive,
showing the steadfastness of his faith.

unflattering terms.--Bibl. Nacional de Madrid, MSS., Cc, 58, p. 35.

di Fede celebrato à 6 Aprile, 1724 (Palermo, 1724). This work of
Mongitore was reprinted in 1868, when the editor F. Guidicini mentions
in the Preface that on March 9th of that year a petition was presented
to the Italian Chamber of Deputies, from a Palermitan family, begging
the remission of a yearly payment to the royal domain, imposed on
them by the Inquisition to defray the expenses of the trial of their
kinswoman, the Sister Geltruda, burnt in 1724.
It was probably the celebration of this auto that inspired an anonymous
writer to denounce the inquisitorial procedure in a little work
entitled “Le prove praticate nelli tempi presenti dagl’ Inquisitori di
Fede sono manchevole.” This was answered by Doctor Don Miguel Monge,
a professor in the University of Huesca in “La verdadera Practica
Apostolica de el S. Tribunal de la Inquisicion” (Palermo, 1725). He
seems in this to consider all criticism sufficiently answered by
demonstrating that the practices complained of are in accordance with
the papal instructions. The work illustrates the anomalous position of
the Sicilian Inquisition at the period. It is written by a Spaniard,
printed in both Spanish and Italian, dated in Vienna and dedicated to
Don Ramon de Villana Perlas, a Catalan member of the Imperial Council
of State.

business concerned one Nofre Pelayo, a merchant of Valencia, who was
arrested on the charge of concealing some of Pantolosa’s property. On
January 15, 1498, Ferdinand warmly praised the inquisitor for this
action but he speedily changed his mind and, on March 6th, scolded him
for keeping Pelayo in prison and refusing to admit him to bail. It
seems that he had in his hands two hundred and fifty ducats, supposed
to belong to Pantolosa, but the sum was claimed by Miguel de Fluto, who
luckily was a kinsman of the Neapolitan ambassador; the latter induced
his master to write on the subject to Ferdinand who, on March 19, 1499,
ordered the sum to be paid to the ambassador’s order.--Ibidem.
These transactions are worth noting as an illustration of the
destructive influence on commerce of the methods of confiscation.
[105] Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Lib. I.
[106] Amabile (Il Santo Officio in Napoli, I, 93) assures us that
there is no trace of such a condition expressed in the documents,
but undoubtedly some compact of the kind must have been made. This
is evident from the fact that when, in 1504, Ferdinand and Isabella
resolved to introduce the Inquisition they formally released Gonsalvo
from the obligation, giving as a reason that no Catholic was required
to observe obligations in derogation of the faith--“non obstantibus
in præmissis aut aliquo præmissorum quibusvis pactis, conventionibus
aut capitulationibus per vos præfatum illustrem ducem aut alium
quemcunque, nomine nostro vel vestro in deditione civitatis Neapolis
aut alias quandocunque factis, conventis aut juratis, cum ea quæ contra
fidem faciunt nullo pacto a Catholicis observanda sunt, quinimmo
easdem si tales sunt quæ prædictis aliquatenus obviare censeantur cum
præsentibus quoad hæc revocamus, taxamus, annullamus et irritamus, pro
cassisque, irritis ac nullis nulliusque roboris seu momenti haberi
volumus et habemus, cæteris autem ad hæc non tangentibus in suo robore
permanentibus.”--Páramo, De Origine Officii S. Inquisit., p. 192.
This is repeated more concisely in another personal letter to Gonsalvo
of the same date.--Ibidem, p. 193.
[107] Amabile, I, 101. When Charles of Anjou introduced the Inquisition
he took the confiscations, as was customary in France, and paid
the expenses, but in 1290 his son, Charles the Lame, divided the
proceeds into thirds, one for the fisc, one for the Inquisition and
one for the propagation of the faith, a rule which probably became
permanent.--Hist. of Inquisition of Middle Ages, I, 511-12.

The formula withdrawing the Inquisition was “Havendo el Rey nostro

In Ferdinand’s letter books there is nothing further respecting the
Neapolitan troubles until May 27, 1511, he writes to Diego de Obregon,
the receiver of Sicily, that the Bishop of Cefalù returns there by
his orders and, in view of his sufferings for the Inquisition his
salary must be paid. Yet he died without receiving it and, on February
16, 1514, Ferdinand ordered Obregon to pay the arrears to Mariano de
Acardo, in reward for certain services rendered, but this was still
unpaid in January of the following year. As for Andrés Palacios, a
cédula of June 6, 1511, recognized him as inquisitor of Valencia, with
salary dating back to January 1st and an ayuda de costa of a hundred
ducats.--Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Lib. 3, fol. 145, 146, 280,

See claimed inquisitorial jurisdiction over Naples, for a papal brief
of June 2, 1544 orders the viceroy to arrest and send under sure guard
to Rome, Vespasiano di Agnone, a wandering Franciscan friar, guilty of
sacrilege and other enormous crimes.--Fontana, Documenti Vaticani, p.

[137] Antonio Caracciolo, in his MS. life of Paul IV, of which an
extract is printed by Bernino (Historia di tutte l’Heresie, IV, 496)
informs us that Cardinal Giovanni Piero Carafa, the head of the
Roman Inquisition and afterwards Paul IV, did not want the Spanish
Inquisition introduced in Naples because it was more subject to the
crown than to the Holy See and the king took the confiscations.
[138] For most of these details I am indebted to a MS. account by
Antonio Castaldo, a notary who was intimate with all the leaders in
these events. He was a devoted subject of Charles V and considered
himself most fortunate in having been born in his time. He warmly
praises the emperor’s clemency towards the city. Amabile’s elaborate
narrative (I, 196-211) furnishes additional facts and Döllinger
(Beiträge zur Polit.-, Kirch.-u. Cultur-Geschichte, I, 78-124) gives
Mendoza’s correspondence. See also Giannone, Ist. Civile, Lib. XXXII,

The narrative of Uberto Foglietta (Tumultus Neapolitani sub Petro

Carafa was hostile to Spain and, on his elevation to the papacy as Paul
IV, in 1555, he declared the throne of Naples vacant and fallen to the
Holy See. He made an alliance with France but, in the ensuing war,
he was speedily brought to terms by Alba. He retained the Neapolitan
archiepiscopate for some time, doubtless in the hope of causing trouble
there.

The process of confiscation seems to have been protracted. A vice-regal

been sold and orders that the matter be closed and the money be paid

From a transaction in 1572 it appears that when Neapolitans were burnt
in Rome, notice was sent to the viceroy in order that he might seize
their confiscated estates. At the same time a statement was presented
of their prison expenses, which were reimbursed to the Congregation of
the Inquisition out of the proceeds.--Ibidem.

[168] In 1597 the Venetian envoy Girolamo Ramusio alludes to the
case of the Baron of Castellanetta, excommunicated by his bishop and
summoned to Rome; also to that of Mastrillo, fiscal of the Vicaria, who
sold a quantity of grain belonging to the Abbey of S. Leonardo which
was held by Cardinal Gaetano, in consequence of which he was cited to
Rome. In both cases the court intervened and prevented obedience for

by Rome to go, the principal royal ministers could be summoned and

Failing in this Cardinal Ghislieri, then at the head of the Roman
Inquisition, wrote in November to Viceroy Alcalá asking that Vico be
sent or be placed under bonds to present himself. To this, in April,
1565, the viceroy assented, requiring Vico to give security in 10,000
ducats to that effect; he was already in prison and condemned to
banishment on complaint of his vassals; he duly went to Rome and was
sentenced to compurgation and penance.--Amabile, I, 286.

In 1588 we find the Congregation of the Inquisition scolding the nuncio
at Naples for refusing to pay the expenses of this transportation, as
his predecessors had always done.--Decret. Sac. Congr. S. Officii, p.

Possibly this may be partially explained by the fact that heresy was a
case reserved to the Holy See, the absolution for which in the _forum
internum_ required a special licence (cap. 3, Extrav. Commun., Lib. V,
Tit. ix). But in the _forum externum_ the episcopal jurisdiction over
heresy was in no way curtailed by the existence of the Inquisition
(Benedicti PP. XIV de Synodo diœcesana, Lib. IX, cap. iv, n. 3). This
was fully admitted by the Roman Inquisition (Decret. S. Congr. S.
Officii, pp. 174-5, 177, 266-8, 272-3 ap. R. Archivio di Stato in Roma,
Fondo Camerale, Congr. del S. Offizio, Vol. 3).

[185] These feelings are warmly but respectfully expressed in a
memorial addressed to Innocent XII (1691-1700), by Giuseppe Valletta,
an advocate of Naples, in support of envoys sent to negotiate with him
(MS. _penes me_).
It is difficult for us to estimate the horror which, as the inquisitors
boasted, the Holy Office cast over the population. They relate with
pride that in Spain men cited to appear, even on matters not pertaining
to the faith, but ignorant of the cause, were known to take to their
beds and die of sheer terror. How much greater, then, they ask, must
be the horror of those accused, suddenly arrested and cast into the
strictest and most secret prison, not to mention what followed?--“Sola
simplici vocatione alicujus inquisitoris in Hispania, ait Morillus
citatus, per aliquem ejus ministrum, ad negotium forte particulare
non pertinens ad Inquisitionem Fidei, absque eo quod vocati sciant ad
quid vocentur, adeo perterrefieri homines soleant, ut aliquibus statim
necessario decumbere et præ nimio dolore febri superveniente emori
contigerit. At quid in casibus ubi datur præventio per accusationem
aut denuntiationem et agitur de repentina captura et de carceratione
rigidissima ac secretissima, ut taceam de aliis quæ hanc consequuntur,
quanto magis perterrefiant capti et carcerati? quanto maiori horrore
afficientur?”--Salelles, De Materiis Tribunalium S. Inquisitionis,

Pietro de Fusco tells us that confiscations were not infrequently
released, as they were in 1587 to the children of Francesco di Aloes di
Caserta and to the heirs of Bernardino Gargano d’Aversa, although they
died as impenitent heretics.

I am not aware that this work has ever been printed, but it must
have had a considerable circulation in MS. I have three copies, of
which one is a Latin version. In one of them the prefatory address to
the Deputati is dated December 3, 1711, which fixes the time of its
composition. The other copies were made respectively in 1715 and 1717,
indicating that it continued to be referred to.

That the Neapolitan Government was not actuated by any tenderness
towards heresy is manifested in a singular transaction of the period
detailed in a letter of which I have copy, of July 11, 1746, from
Edward Allen, the British Consul, to the Marchese Fogliani--apparently
the foreign secretary. An English girl of 13, named Ellen Bowes, was
forcibly abducted from her father’s house, after surrounding it with
about a hundred armed men. Against this outrage the consul protested as
a violation of the privileges of the English nation, to which Fogliani
replied, explaining the reasons which had led the king to do this and
what was proposed to do with the child. Apparently she had expressed
an intention to join the Catholic Church and had been taken so as to
secure her conversion. Allen rejoined in a long argumentative letter
and, although he pointed out that a child of such tender age could have
no conception of the different religions, he felt himself obliged to
disavow asking her return to her parents and limited his request to
having her delivered to some one of the English nation, where she could
be examined as to her motives. What was the issue of the affair does
not appear from the paper in my possession, but evidently the king,
after taking such a step and justifying it, could not well retreat.
