The Spanish Inquisition is often seen as the archetype of religious fervour and fanaticism, and several of the papers here naturally focus on its activities. Overall, however, this volume aims to look at the broader context of religious attitudes in Spain, from the end of the 15th to the late 17th century. In an examination of how the religious orders behaved, the contributors demonstrate that concepts which may now appear excessive were perceived at that time. Similarly, poetry and other literary texts provide evidence for how Jews viewed Christians and Christians viewed Moors.
Industry Reviews
'a good and useful collection for anyone interested in religious practice in early modern Spain.' Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. XXX, No. 1 'The volume offers a good, well-informed range of essays, and early modernists of all disciplines will pick up much that is new.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 50, No. 2 'Students of early modern Spanish society or religion, and of religious movements such as fundamentalism, tolerance, or mysticism in whatever religious or cultural context they may be found, will find much that will be interesting or useful to them in these essays.' Church History, Vol. 68, No. 2
