RISP1

The Reformation in Spain

In this volume is recorded the history of the progress and suppression of the Reformation in Spain in the sixteenth century. This book is copied from the 1824 original edition with fresh typesetting.

Thomas M'Crie's scholarly examination of the rise and persecution of 16th-century Spanish Protestantism was intended by the author as a contribution to the history of that memorable revolution that affected all nations of Europe and beyond. With first-hand accounts given by earlier authorities such as Reynaldo Gonzalez de Montes and Cypriano de Valera, he furnishes the work with interesting details rescued from literary obscurity. Juan Antonio Llorente, Secretary to the Inquisition at Madrid, brings verification of accounts claimed to be tainted by prejudice. M'Crie makes a case for a Spain free of the religious errors and corruptions that ultimately dried up the resources and poisoned the fountains of a great empire.
