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.
