Summary

Biography of Bartolomé Carranza, Archbishop of Toledo, written by Pedro Salazar de Mendoza. The majority of the text is dedicated to Carranza's life from the time he was first arrested on suspicion of heresy by the Spanish Inquisition in 1559 to his death in Rome in 1576 (thus revealing as anachronistic the date of 1568 on the title page). Text includes numerous chapters on topics such as: Nacimiento y padres del arzobispo Carranza (f. 5r); Llevan preso a el arzobispo a Valladolid (f. 59r); Es llevado el arzobispo a Roma (f. 146r); Todo quanto acaecio al arzobispo hastta que murio (f. 246v). Also of interest are the 16 errores (f. 242v-244r) he was forced to abjure from his writings upon being found not guilty of heresy and the pronouncement (f. 251r) he made after his release regarding all those who had opposed him.
