Between Court and Confessional explores the lives of Spanish
inquisitors, closely examining the careers and writings of five
sixteenth- and seventeenth-century inquisitors. Kimberly Lynn
considers what shaped particular inquisitors, what kinds of
official experience each accumulated, and to what ends each
directed his acquired knowledge and experience. The case studies
examine the complex interplay of careerism and ideological
commitments evident in inquisitorial activities. Whereas many
studies of the Spanish Inquisition tend to depict inquisitors as
faceless and interchangeable, Lynn probes the lives of individual
inquisitors to show how inquisitors' operations in their social,
political, religious and intellectual worlds set the Inquisition in
motion. By focusing on specific individuals, this study explains
how the theory and regulations of the Inquisition were rooted in
local conditions, particular disputes and individual experiences.
