Synopsis
The Spanish inquisition is often seen as the archtype of religious fervour and fanaticism, and several of the papers here focus on its activities. Overall, however, this text aims to look at the broader context of religious attitudes in Spain, from the end of the 15th to the late 17th century. It examines how religious orders behaved and demonstrates how concepts which may now appear excessive were perceived at the time. Similarly, poetry and other literary texts provide evidence for how Jews viewed Christians, and Christians viewed Moors.
