Vicuña Mackenna asserts (Francisco Moyen, p. 112) that Philip granted the tribunal a dotation which produced an annual revenue of 32,817 pesos, 3½ reales, but this is a self-evident error, probably based on the king’s assertion to Urban VIII that he spent 32,000 ducats a year on the three tribunals of Mexico, Lima and Cartagena.[614]Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Libro 40, fol. 20, 21, 54, 91.—Medina, Lima, I, 187.—Archivo nacional de Lima,ubi sup.[615]Archivo nacional de Lima,ubi sup.—Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Libro 40, fol. 30.[616]Archivo nacional de Lima,ubi sup.—Medina, Lima, I, 202.[617]Medina, Lima, I, 47-9, 188-95, 200, 304.[618]Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Libro 40, fol. 34, 35, 36, 54.—Recop.

Gubernat., Lib.III, cap. xxiv, n. 11.[619]In the chapter of Santiago de Chile, one of the canons, Francisco Navarro, soon after the arrival of the royal order suppressing a prebend, withdrew to the convent of San Francisco. It was claimed that his retirement vacated the benefice; the matter was referred to the king who decided, by a decree of August 31, 1635, that this was the case. The canons adopted the favorite device of obeying without executing and were supported by the Audiencia, much to the disgust of the Dean, Tomas de Santiago, who was commissioner of the Inquisition. Meanwhile another of the canons, Gerónimo Salvatierra, died and the question was finally settled by a royal order of April 6, 1638, pronouncing the vacated prebend to be that of Salvatierra.Commissioner Santiago had become violently inimical to some of the canons in the course of this dispute and undertook to gratify his revenge, when Manuel Bautista Pérez of Lima was burnt and his property was confiscated. One of his debtors to the amount of 2000 pesos was a prominent merchant of Santiago, Pedro Martínez Gago, whose property was seized by Santiago; some of the canons were indebted to him for trifling amounts and Santiago persecuted them. The quarrel assumed portentous dimensions through the violence of his proceedings and liberal use of excommunication, when a new bishop Fray Gaspar de Villaroel, made his appearance, and undertook to reduce Santiago to submission. In this he disregarded all the immunities of the Inquisition and, being supported by the civil power and the judiciary, he vindicated his episcopal supremacy by arresting the contumacious commissioner and imprisoning him in chains. Santiago boldly strove to make head against the united secular and ecclesiastical power of the province, but was finally forced to submit. Villaroel does not seem to have suffered for his audacity. In 1651 he was transferred to the see of Arequipa and in 1658 he became Archbishop of la Plata. When he died there, in 1665, his whole fortune was found to consist of six reales.—Mackenna, La Revista de Buenos Aires, Mayo, 1870, p. 102.[620]Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Libro 40, fol. 46.[621]Ibidem, fol. 54.[622]Archivo de Simancas Inq., Libro 21, fol. 72.[623]Medina, Lima, II, 165-66.[624]Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Libro 36, fol. 74.[625]Archivo de Simancas Inquisicion, Libro 21, fol. 261.[626]Medina, Lima, II, 48, 167.[627]Ibidem, 166.[628]Medina, Lima, II, 167.[629]Ibidem, 251.A statement of expenses for 1681 shows:Salaries of fourteen officialspesos23,528.0Yearlyremittanceto the Suprema9,926.3““to its Secretary496.2““to two other secretaries and two clerks at 2751,100.0——11,522.5Maintenance of poor prisoners850.0Extraordinary expenses2,800.0Expenses of the cámara del secreto250.038,950.5Spent in seven years on the houses of inquisitors7,000.0In giving this Medina (pp. 252-3) calls attention to the fact that in this enumeration are not included the salaries of a number of other officials mentioned by the receiver, as follows:A third secretary1000Notario del juzgado1400Contador200Juez de los bienes confiscados1000Advocate of prisoners200Steward300Solicitador100Barber1004300There is significance in the annual payments to the secretaries of the Suprema whose good will might at any moment be useful.[630]MSS. of White Library, Cornell University, n. 616, fol. 65.[631]Medina, Chile, II, 396; Lima, II, 315-19, 326, 331, 352-3.—Archivo nacional de Lima, Protocolo 225, Expte5278.—Memorias de los Vireyes, IV, 490.A salutary regulation required each viceroy, at the expiration of his term, to draw up an account of his experience and of the condition of affairs for the benefit of his successor.

After Villar’s term was ended, in 1590, the inquisitors prosecuted his secretary, Juan Bello, because, when some one insisted on having certain papers, Bello exclaimed impatiently that he could not have them even if God wished it, and also because he had said that he would rather have to do with demons than with the frailes.—Ibidem, p. 258.[636]Ibidem, p. 217.[637]Medina, Lima, I, 262, 264, 274, 277-80, 282.[638]Medina, Lima, I, 283-6.[639]Ibidem, pp. 327-8.[640]Medina, Lima, I, 301, 313-17.[641]Ibidem, pp. 317-18.[642]Medina, Lima, I, 301-3.[643]Ibidem, I, 329, 348.[644]Ibidem, II, 5.[645]Medina, Lima, II, 14-15.[646]Ibidem, p. 16, 76-8.[647]Medina, Lima, II, 253; Cartagena, pp. 343-44.[648]Medina, Lima, II, 212-14.[649]Ibidem, pp. 283, 285.[650]Medina, Lima, II, 311-14, 317.—Joseph Bermudez de la Torre y Solier, Triunfos del S.

B. Stevenson, Secretary to Lord Cochrane, who was brought before the tribunal in 1813, shortly before the decree of suppression was received, gives a vivid description of Zalduegui—“I knew the inquisitors—but how changed from what at other times I had seen them! The pursy swarthy Abarca, in the centre, scarcely half filling his chair of state—the fat monster Zalduegui on his left, his corpulent paunch being oppressed by the arms of his chair, and blowing through his nostrils like an over-fed porpoise—the fiscal, Sobrino, on his right, knitting his black eye-brows and striving to produce in his unmeaning face the semblance of wisdom.”—Twenty Years’ Residence in South America, I, 264 (London, 1825).[657]Hoyo, Relacion del auto de fe de 20 Dic. de 1694 (Lima, 1695).[658]Medina, Lima, II, 183-5.[659]Recop. de las Indias, Lib.I, Tit. xix, ley 2.[660]Medina, Lima, I, 181.[661]Archivo nacional de Lima, Protocolo 228, Expte5287 (see Appendix).[662]Medina, Lima, I, 263, 285-6, 290-2.[663]Medina, Lima, II, 444.[664]Ibidem, 444, 449.[665]Medina, Lima, II, 454.[666]Memorias de los Vireyes, IV, 487.[667]Bibl. nacional de Madrid, Seccion de MSS., R, 102, fol. 169.—Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Libro 27, fol. 90, 106.—Memorias de los Vireyes, III, 85.[668]Nueva Recopilacion, Lib.

It must be borne in mind in all these cases that “reconciliation” to the Church entailed confiscation and was usually accompanied with other penalties more or less severe according to the record of the culprit and the readiness with which he had confessed and recanted as indicative of the sincerity of his conversion. There might be prison and sanbenito for a term or for life, scourging or the galleys.[718]Ibidem, p. 341, 347.[719]Palma, Añales, p. 31.[720]Medina, La Plata, 155-61.[721]Ibidem, 164-66.[722]Medina, Lima, II, 27-31.[723]Pablo de Santa María was originally the Rabbi Selemoh Ha-Levi, one of the most learned of Jewish doctors. Converted in 1390, he rose to be regent of Spain in the minority of Juan II, papal legatea latereand bishop successively of Cartagena and Búrgos. His book was regarded as convincing and was repeatedly printed. Two editions appeared in Strassburg about 1471 and my copy is of Búrgos, 1591.[724]Medina, La Plata, pp. 172-97; Lima, II, 146.—See also a paper by George Alexander Kohut in Publications of the Am.

Vicuña Mackenna asserts (Francisco Moyen, p. 112) that Philip granted the tribunal a dotation which produced an annual revenue of 32,817 pesos, 3½ reales, but this is a self-evident error, probably based on the king’s assertion to Urban VIII that he spent 32,000 ducats a year on the three tribunals of Mexico, Lima and Cartagena.
