The Lima Inquisition: The Plight of Crypto-Jews in Seventeenth-Century Peru
Ana E. Schaposchnik
Established in Peru in 1570, the Holy Office of the Inquisition operated there until 1820, prosecuting, torturing, and sentencing alleged heretics. Ana Schaposchnik offers a deeply researched history of the Inquisition's tribunal in the capital city of Lima, with a focus on cases of crypto-Judaism - the secret adherence to Judaism while publicly professing Christianity.
