Note 1069 — Chapter IV · CONFLICTING JURISDICTIONS.
Reading edition
Bibl. nacional, MSS., X, 157, fol. 244.—Archivo de Simancas, Inquisicion, Lib. 939, fol. 149.—All this shows how mistaken is the assertion of Llorente (Hist. crít. Cap. XLVII, Art. 1) repeated by Rodrigo (III, 365) and others, that Charles V, in 1535, suspended the royal jurisdiction (under which the Inquisition had cognizance of the affairs of its officials) and restored it in 1545. This action was confined to the tribunal of Sicily. The anonymous author of the Discurso historico-legal sobre el Origen etc. de la Inquisicion, p. 93 (Valladolid, 1803) seems to be the only one who has recognized this.
