Notes

Chap. 11, "The Spanish Inquisition-Prescott’s View," has remarks about the Spanish Jews and their fate. For a Catholic perspective on the Jews in Rome with comments about their favorable treatment by the Papal authorities, see chap. 32. The author was, at the time, the Bishop of Louisville, but later became Archbiship of Baltimore, a position he held until his passing in 1872. Frequently reissued. The 6th ed., revised and greatly enlarged (Baltimore: John Murray, 1875), is in 2 vols.
