Book Synopsis
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.

Trade Review
Reveals the details of the Americas' most alarming Inquisitorial crackdown: the 'Great Complicity' and subsequent Auto de Fe of Lima in 1639. Schaposchnik convincingly shows that it was not an aberration or just another Baroque-era spectacle—it was the essence of what the Inquisition was and had been all about, from inception to abolition.""—Kris Lane, Tulane University
