Note 461 — Chapter IV · ESTABLISHMENT OF THE INQUISITION.

Bernaldez, cap. xliv.—Amador de los Rios, III, 250.—Field’s Old Spain and New Spain, p. 279.

The remark of the good Cura de los Palacios in describing the quemadero is “en que los quemaban y fasta que haya heregía los quemarán.” The cost of the four statues was defrayed by a gentleman named Mesa, whose zeal won for him the position of familiar of the Holy Office and receiver of confiscations. He was, however, discovered to be a Judaizer and was himself burnt on the quemadero which he had adorned.—Rodrigo, II, 79-80.
