"The previously untranslated court documents, practical manuals, and letters collected here depict the Inquisition in vivid detail. This collection also illuminates the ways in which both ordinary individuals and elites actively participated in the turbulent and diverse religious culture of early modern Spain. The texts offer fresh perspectives on such topics as the Inquisition's persecution of converted Jews and Muslims, the role of women in Spanish religious life, the Inquisition's construction and prosecution of witchcraft, the routines of Inquisition prisons, and the relationship between the Inquisition and the Spanish monarchy."--BOOK JACKET.
