1817. Carta de Vicente Jesús María, fraile, para un participante no identificado.

Author(s) Vicente Jesús María      
Addressee(s) Anónimo280      
In English

Letter from Vicente Jesús María, a friar, to an unidentified addressee.

The author gives an unidentified addressee news and instructions about some he was asked for.

Vicente de Jesús María, a Discalced Carmelite friar, was accused by the Inquisition to possess forbidden books. From the proceedings, we can deduce that the Inquisition Tribunal demanded from him to obtain all the forbidden books he had seen or have knowledge of, and to hand them over to the commissary of the Inquisition, Juan Antonio Carrasco. A particular emphasis is put on the book entitled 'Eloísa y Abelardo' ('Héloïse and Abélard'). In the letters, sent to an unidentified addressee, Vicente de Jesús María referred to these books, because he was looking for them, and enclosed a list of these books. The proceedings are incomplete, so we cannot know more about the process.

If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
