Abstract

This paper focuses on a study about two authors of jewish origins, Felipe Godínez and Antonio Enríquez Gómez, as a testimony of the incidence of censorship on the work of the minor dramatists of the Spanish Golden Age, who frequently give us an example of great interest to know the theatrical censorship at that time. Both Enríquez and Godínez had problems with the Inquisition and suffered from persecution and censorship in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, when some of their works were included in the Index of Librorum Prohibitorum. This paper analyses some known cases, that have been previously studied (La conversión de la Magdalena, Las misas de San Vicente Ferrer or El alcalde de Mairena), but other less know cases are also analyzed, such us Santa Táez and El médico pintor, San Lucas.
