Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of Inquisition records from the Canary Islands dating from the late 16th century. It provides a fascinating insight into the religious and social life of the islands during a period of intense religious conflict between Spain and England. The records document the cases of several Englishmen who were arrested and imprisoned by the Inquisition on charges of heresy, including John Ware, an Englishman in the service of the Dominican friars, and Richard Newman, a sailor who was arrested for attacking a Catholic statue. The trials and confessions of these men shed light on the religious beliefs and practices of English Protestants during the Reformation, as well as the methods used by the Inquisition to suppress religious dissent. Through these documents, the author explores the complex relationship between religion, politics, and society in early modern Europe. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of the Inquisition, the Reformation, and early modern European history. It offers a unique perspective on the experiences of English Protestants who came into conflict with the Catholic Church during a time of religious upheaval.
