[1526]. Carta de Juan de la Torre, comisario de la Inquisición, para Álvaro Morán, teniente de justicia.

Private letter from Juan de la Torre, commissioner of the Inquisition, to Álvaro Morán, justice deputy.

The author informs the recipient about the state of the appeal made by Antonio Medrano, in which he asked that the penalty of excommunication imposed on him was revoked by Rome.

The defendant in this process was Antonio de Medrano, a priest in Navarrete and Fuenmayor (La Rioja). In 1526, he was accused by the Inquisition of Logroño of making heretical propositions. Because of this, he was condemned to pay 100 gold ducats. He was also forbidden from preaching in private homes and from delivering the communion to minors. Four years later, he was again accused by the Inquisition, this time in Toledo, and his crimes here were the practice of "alumbrismo" and epicureanism. He was punished with another penalty fee and the suspension of his priesthood for two years, and condemned to perpetual reclusion in a monastery.
