Synopsis
Excerpt from The Popular Science Monthly, Vol. 43: July, 1893
Another cell was accordingly selected for him, in which were two friars and a physician awaiting trial, who were duly sworn and instructed. SO matters continued for a year, with occasional examinations of his fellow-prisoners. The friars pronounced him a heretic and an impostor; the physician a sane man subject to delusions. Finally, in November, 1623, another consultation was held to vote upon his case, and he was unanimously sentenced to burning. To. This at last the Supreme Council assented, but desired the execution to take place in Madrid, where the sacrilege had been committed. He was to be sedulously kept in ignorance, and to be secretly conveyed to the capital. There, on the Plaza Mayor, January 21, 1624, there was a solemn auto da fé celebrated, and he was burned alive as an impenitente negative.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores several historical cases involving the Spanish Inquisition's approach to defendants with mental health disorders, revealing the early modern institution's understanding of insanity and its intersection with Spanish jurisprudence and religious persecution. The author argues that the Inquisition's treatment of defendants believed to be insane provides a unique window into early modern European ideas about mental illness and the complex relationship between religion, law, and medicine during that period. By examining the Inquisition's evolving approach to defendants with mental health disorders, the book highlights the evolving understanding of the nature and treatment of insanity over time and provides invaluable insights into the intellectual and cultural landscape of early modern Spain.
