Notes

  • -  Provenance: from the collections of Luis González Obregón and G. R. G. Conway. Simón Pereyns is a commonly accepted spelling of the name of the Flemish painter who was defendent in this Inquisition case, although the name is spelled any number of ways in this document, and his signature appears to be Simon Perijns. He was born in Antwerp and lived for a while in Lisbon and Toledo before coming to Mexico with the Viceroy Marqués de Falces in 1566. He spent the rest of his life in Mexico, being active there as late as 1603. The present trial record gives us a considerable amount of information about Pereyns and other artists who were active in Mexico at the end of the 1560's. It also shows the workings of the episcopal Inquisition in Mexico during the last years before the establishment of the Tribunal of the Inquisition there as a separate judicial body, independent of the authority of the bishops.
