Abstract

[fre] Abstract The records of cases tried by the Inquisition of Toledo are an essential source for those uncovering the yet neglected history of hermits in Castille. The case involving a wandering-hermit, Anton de la Fuente, is particularly enlightening. He entered into the wake of Franciscans after leading the unstable and adventurous life of a « capitán ». This wayfarer then lived off alms and scoured the roads of Castille in search of religions feasts and pilgrimages. His beliefs were unconventional, in particular his magnification of the Virgin, and he contradicted several fundamental Catholic dogmas. The ever-alert Inquisition, therefore, condemned and imprisoned him. (traduit par Anne E. McCall).
