Abstract:
Depicts the life of persecuted minorities, as well as that of the wealthy and the ordinary people of Spain during the Spanish Inquisition. For three and a half centuries, the Inquisition permeated every aspect of daily life in early modern Spain. This history depicts the dangers faced by Jews and Muslims and their suffering at the hands of the Inquisitors, as well as the struggle for survival of the lower classes and the ostentatious display of wealth of the high nobility. Interwoven in the text is a discussion of relevant political and economic events that helped to shape the times, as well as comments from both contemporary Spanish writers and foreign visitors who witnessed firsthand the conditions and attitudes of the people.--From publisher description.
