In 1710, the royal commissioner Diego de Avila and other members of his family were accused of Judaizing by the Inquisition of Sevilla. Discusses the Inquisitorial proceedings, focusing on how the tribunal handled evidence, testimonies, and torture. Compares canon law with royal law concerning the rights of the accused and the legal validity of confession under torture. Pp. 297-307 present the text of the posthumous sentence pronounced by the tribunal against Diego de Avila in 1723; he died in prison in 1715.
