In English | Letter from Jacinto Hernández, a book trader, to José Pitaluga, an assistant at the trading house of Juan Bautista Fabián´s widow. The author writes to José Pitaluga about the shipping of books and prayer cards that has been delivered, the trouble he has had for the order to arrive and the close surveillance he has been subjected to by the Holy Office. This situation makes him wish to quit the trading of this kind of goods. He asks the addressee, in case he is inquired about him, to give good references. The trial against Jacinto Hernández occurred between 1798 and 1803 for forbidden books. He was suspected of binding and selling this type of books. The trial was suspended despite the fact that some dubious copies were found. The set of letters is fundamentally about books and prayer cards delivery. Some of the prayer cards were forbidden because they contained either the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which was banned, the Holy Spirit in a human form, or the image of a naked grown up Jesus child. |
