La Inquisición en Jaén

A history of the Inquisitorial tribunal of Jaén, from its foundation in 1483 until 1820. Recalls the pogrom of Jaen in 1473 and the problem of the Conversos, and analyzes the methods and proceedings of the Inquisition, as well as the institution of the "limpieza de sangre", intended to marginalize Conversos from socioeconomic life. Gives a periodization of the Inquisition's activities in Jaén, showing that between 1483-1558, and again during the 17th century, Conversos were the principal victims of the persecution campaign, especially under the direction of Córdoba's Inquisitor General Diego Rodríguez Lucero.
