Abstract

Josep C. Vergés0 Raptor dicitur corruptos et rapta corrupta1 Isidore of Seville 1. Introduction: The Suppression of Liberal Thinking in Spain The Spanish Inquisition jailed Luis de León for five years, accusing him of eroticism because he had translated The Song of Songs. It was the Salamanca faculty who had denounced him, jealous at his popularity and his Jewish descent. The Supreme Court of the Inquisition in Madrid eventually cancelled the sentence of torture, public repression and loss of teaching post and ordered his freedom and restoration to the University. What would he say to the large assembly which had gathered to hear him?: Dicebamus hesterna die, as we were saying yesterday, ties the future directly to the past, because betrayal, torture, imprisonment and iniquities have no part in human progress. The University and the Inquisition had preferred to remain in error rather than correct their mistakes2. The Inquisition promoted by Phillip II marks the beginning of the Spanish Black Legend which succeeded in suppressing intellectual life. An indelible stamp of infamy marked the accused, who lost their property, confiscated by the corrupt Inquisition officials. A climate of fear and suspicion repressed all profitable discussion and such coercion
