| Sumario: | Francisco Maldonado da Silva, a doctor and surgeon born in San Miguel de Tucumán, the son of a Portuguese surgeon - also prosecuted by the Inquisition in Lima - and an old Christian, was tried by the Holy Office and sentenced to die at the stake in an Auto de Fe in 1639. Based on Inquisitorial documents we will investigate certain aspects of his career, especially considering his religious condition: in spite of having been baptized and educated as a Christian, he decided to "live and die in the Law of Moses". As a result of his debates on theological issues with the Inquisition's qualifiers, we will analyze mechanisms put into practice by this tribunal in the context of denominational questioning and dissidence, typical of the period of the Religious Reforms. |
