Description

Frances Luttikhuizen provides an overview of the arrival, reception, and suppression and Protestant thought in sixteenth century Spain. The opening chapters shed light on the alum-brados-deixados, the role of Cardinal Cisneros, the impact of Erasmus, the attitude of Charles V and Philip II towards religious dissidents, etc. The main body of the work deals with the severe persecution of the underground evangelical circles at Seville and Valladolid, confiscated literature, and relevant female figure. The final chapters deal with new targets - mainly foreigners - and the efforts to rediscover the writings of the Spanish Protestant Reformers. Book jacket.
