Note 544 — Chapter IV · ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INQUISITION. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Dom Clemencin (Elogio, Illust. XVIII) prints a noble and touching letter of reproof from Talavera to Ferdinand. He had had the direction of royal consciences too long to feel awe of royal personages. Spiritually he felt himself the king’s superior and his perfectly frank simplicity of character led him to manifest this without disguise.
