Frontiere di giustizia nell'Impero spagnolo: le avventure transatlantiche di Agostino Boasio
Full text linkThe essay focuses on the frontiers of justice in the Spanish
Empire as seen in the ‘outsider’ career of Italian merchant Agostino Boasio.
Boasio was first arrested in 1558 at Zacatecas, on the northern frontier of Mexico,
for distributing heretical books and disseminating heretical ideas. He was
condemned and sent to serve his sentence in Spain. However, during the sea
voyage to Castile, he took advantage of a last stop in the Azores to escape.
Thereafter, the Seville inquisitors pursued him relentlessly throughout Europe.
In Antwerp the Boasio affair became the object of a harsh dispute between
Philip II and the town authorities immediately before the 1567 revolt. He died
in London in 1571. In 1569 his refusal to subscribe to the strict Confession of
Faith of the French Church led to his exclusion from the community of London
refugees. Boasio’s incredible, almost novelistic adventures can be reconstructed
through six Inquisitorial and judicial trials and by Philip II’s numerous
letters about the case
La rivoluzione di Doña María Pacheco a Toledo: riflessi letterari e costruzione storica
No full textThis article analyses the defamatory legend which arose around an exceptional woman, Doña María Pacheco y Mendoza. A member of one of the most powerful families in Spain and the wife of Juan de Padilla, leader of the revolt of the Comunidades, María organized, after the death of her husband, the military and political resistance of the city of Toledo, which faced the imperial troops of Charles V for ten long months. In Counter-Reformation Spain, where ever more doors were being closed to women, María was the awkward example who overturned conventional gender roles: a noble and cultivedted women who dominated a weak husband; a politically active woman who rebelled against her sovereign and was capable of frging dangerous alliances: a female soldiers who left aside Christian piety and did not hesitate to sequester ecclesiastical goods in order to continue the armed struggle. In addition to the damnatio memoriae whcih she suffered due her political defeat, there has been a persistent and violent move to condemn her morally, transforming her into a symbol of unrestrained and malevolent female ambitio
I primi gesuiti e la Spagna: strategie, compromessi, ambiguità
No full textL'articolo analizza i difficili inizi della Compagnia di Gesù in territorio spagnolo, dai primi passi di Ignazio di Loyola agli anni Sessanta del Cinquecento. Al di là della encomiastica e agiografica storiografia gesuita sulle origini, si evidenziano le numerose difficoltà incontrate nel radicamento sul territorio, gli scontri e poi le complicità con l'Inquisizione, i rapporti presto cancellati con le forme di eterodossia più radicali circolate nella Penisola
Una herejía española: conversos, alumbrados e Inquisición
No full textFino a che punto la rottura del pluralismo religioso e la nascita di una Spagna rigidamente cattolica, soffocata dall'Inquisizione e da politiche discriminatorie, condizionò il pensiero spagnolo del Siglo de oro? In che modo il problema dei conversos, inteso non come questione puramente genealogica ma come eredità di un paese che passava da molteplici verità a una sola, contribuì al formarsi di un cattolicesimo spagnolo per arrivare a convertirsi in radicale ideologia di opposizione?
Il libro è un invito a esplorare il labirinto del complesso e tormentato mondo degli eretici spagnoli, inseguendo otto traiettorie individuali, di personaggi più o meno conosciuti che caddero nelle reti dell'Inquisizione. Attraverso i loro scritti o i loro processi inquisitoriali spesso inediti si delineano affinità e percorsi comuni all’interno di quell’eclettica e dirompente eresia spagnola cresciuta tra i conversos del Quattrocento, maturata negli ambienti di alumbrados della Spagna degli anni Venti-Trenta e fatta conoscere in Europa attraverso le straordinarie esperienze di Juan de Valdés e Miguel Servet
Ángeles armados, posesiones y profecía: entorno a una clásica iconografía andina
No full textThe study explores a significant period of profound and lasting change in the history of the Peruvian viceroyalty. It focuses on the establishment of the Society of Jesus in Lima and Cusco, highlighting some of its most important members. This period also coincides with the beginning of the Spanish Inquisition in the viceroyalty, notably including the trial of the Dominican Francisco de la Cruz, which is among the most significant cases in the history of the Peruvian Inquisition. Additionally, it discusses the possession trial of María Pizarro, which is closely connected to that of Francisco de la Cruz, as well as the remarkable anti-colonial pamphlet by Luis López. This era unfolded in a territory characterized by the oppressive and repressive policies of the new viceroy, Francisco de Toledo, alongside a rise in protests and alternative prophetic visions that the Inquisition later labeled as heretical. These events have not yet been fully contextualized concerning the iconographical patterns they suggest. Notably, the role of the Society of Jesus in these developments has not been adequately explored, as much of the existing historiography has been shaped by their own narratives

An Invisible Thread: Heresy, Mass Conversions, and Inquisition in the Kingdom of Castile (1449-1559)
Full text linkIn Toledo in 1529, a converso named Pedro de Cazalla declared that the connection between man and God was but a thread and that it should not be mediated by the Church. Hardly an isolated phenomenon, Cazalla’s inner spirituality was a widespread response to the increasing repression of religious dissent enacted by the Inquisition.
Forced baptisms of Jews and Muslims had profound effects across Spanish society, leading famous intellectuals as well as ordinary men and women to rethink their sense of belonging to the Christian community and their forms of religiosity. Thus, in this book, early modern Iberia emerges as a laboratory of European-wide transformations
