| Sumario: | The Holy Office of the Inquisition, with all its aura of obscurantism, is probably one of the most celebrated expressions of medieval and modern power in the social imagination, a status achieved through ignominious memories of persecution, torture, and burning at the stake. Academic history, however, has much more to say about the Holy Tribunal, and Federico Sartori's book is a clear example of this. Taking Córdoba del Tucumán, one of the southernmost foundations of the Spanish empire in America, as a case study, his book opens up a perspective from the Inquisition to the society of the period, viewed from the last quarter of the 16th century to the end of the following century. |
