Control inquisitorial y conflictos diplomáticos en los siglos XVIII Y XIX

Abstract

The Inquisition’s Santo Oficio never found any inconvenient in penetrating in the house of any Spaniard to practice registries of possible prohibited books, whenever it had information of their existence, and to confiscate them. But when those books belonged to diplomats who enjoyed immunity or to persons of other nations that had recognized special privileges and rights from international Treaties, the recognition of their books or other objects, although prohibited, used to give rise to the resistance of the affected ones and to the formulation of complaints that brought about diplomatic conflicts and forced to review and, sometimes, to rectify the attributions assumed by the inquisitorial commissioners.
