Henry Charles Lea's account of the Inquisition in Italy, Spain and South America was first published in 1908. Drawing on primary source material, the American historian gives a detailed account of the workings of the Inquisition and its individual tribunals in Sicily, Naples, Sardinia and Milan. He also describes the Inquisition in Malta, the Canary Islands, Mexico, Peru, New Granada and the Philippines. According to Lea the Inquisition persisted from the 16th right up to the 19th century. He demonstrates how some of the individuals entrusted with implementing the Inquisition abused their powers, and how the Inquisition in the Spanish colonies prevented the efficient running of governmental administrations. He focuses on some of the consequences of the Inquisition: Jews were banished from Naples, and there were moves to exclude new Christians from the Church in Mexico.

This collection of essays aims to measure the minimum scope for interpretation, with reference to texts produced under absolute constraints: those governing the trials of the Spanish Inquisition, as well as trials for witchcraft and libertinage , in polemical writings during the French wars of religion, or in the words of common law convicts in Italy and England. Written by ten specialists in Early Modern literature and edited by Anne Duprat, these studies examine the violence inflicted on certain texts via the act of interpretation, and the means of resistance used in response. The essays illustrate how the violence of interpretation can also create the conditions necessary for the text to take on meaning. Cet essai collectif propose de mesurer l’espace minimal nécessaire au déploiement d’une interprétation, à partir de textes produits sous une contrainte absolue : celle des procès d’Inquisition espagnols, mais aussi des procès pour sorcellerie ou libertinage, dans l’écriture polémique des guerres de religion en France, ou dans la parole de condamnés de droit commun en Italie et en Angleterre. Produites par dix spécialistes de littérature des XVIe et XVIIe siècle, ces études réunies par Anne Duprat interrogent la violence qu’exerce l’interprétation sur certains textes, et les modes de résistance qu’ils déploient face à elle. Elles permettent de comprendre comment cette violence, qui fait dire à un texte ce qu’elle veut, peut aussi construire les conditions de possibilité de son sens.

El mártir del Sacramento es uno de los tres autos sacramentales de sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, junto con El divino Narciso y El cetro de José. Sor Juana adapta en él la figura de san Hermenegildo, que construye con entera libertad dramática respecto de las fuentes históricas -a menudo opuestas en su valoración del príncipe visigodo- y al que convierte en un héroe religioso centro de un complejo conjunto de ideas y sentimientos que reúne motivos del martirio, la vanitas›, la reflexión sobre la fugacidad de las glorias mundanas, los conflictos políticos y familiares con el rey Leovigildo, el desengaño y la resignación a los designios divinos. La presente edición ofrece el texto más fiable hasta la fecha, acompañado de un completo aparato de notas y un estudio preliminar que intenta situar al auto en su marco genérico y facilitar la comprensión de los lectores de nuestros días, eludiendo las frecuentes fantasías críticas que han desviado a menudo la lectura de esta pieza.
