The Inquisition which had hunted him to the death could never forgive him for his escape. When, in 1559, Inquisitor-general Valdés compiled the first Index of prohibited books, a long-forgotten controversial tract against the Jews, printed by Talavera in 1480, was resuscitated and condemned in order to cast a slur upon his memory and this was carefully preserved through the long series of Spanish Indexes down to the last one in 1790.—Reusch, Die Indices Libror. Prohib., p. 232.—Indice Ultimo, p. 262.
