«Historia de los heterodoxos españoles» is the historical work by Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, published by Editorial Porrúa (447 pages, in Spanish).
The volume examines dissenting religious currents in the history of Spain: Erasmians and Protestants, mystical sects, Judaizers, Moriscos and magical arts. Menéndez Pelayo focuses on Spanish figures who held positions contrary to the orthodox Catholicism defined at the Council of Trent and documents how these were deemed heterodox.
It belongs to the collection 'Sepan cuantos...' (no. 370) and includes a prologue by Arturo Farinelli. The text comes from a larger work by the author originally published in seven volumes.
For readers of Spanish history interested in religious thought, confessional minorities and heterodoxy.
Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo was a Spanish scholar, historian and literary critic. Even though his main interest was the history of ideas, and Hispanic philology in general, he also cultivated poetry, translation and philosophy. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature five times.
