Notes

  • -  The volume opens with a letter from the commissary of the Inquisition in Puebla, Onofre Miguel de el Castillo Villegas, to the Inquisition in Mexico City, advising them that he was sending them a confession by Eustachio Pérez de Avilés, as well as other related depositions. The letter was dated in Puebla, November 17, 1725, and was received by the Inquisition in Mexico on November 22, 1725 (leaf 1). The self-accusation of Bachiller Eustachio Pérez de Avilés, a secular priest of the diocese of Puebla and minor chaplain of the Shrine of Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, was made in Puebla on October 18, 1725. He gave his age as 27. He admitted that in a case of emergency he had heard the confession of a castiza, Francisca Antonia, with whom he had carried on an affair two years previously. Because he felt that she was not being open with him, he later brought another confessor to hear her confession, but he had a mulatto woman, Jacinta de San Diego, hide under her bed to listen to the confession and report back to him. Then, becoming scrupulous about having abused the confessional, he decided to report himself to the Inquisition and admonished Jacinta to do the same. (Leaves 2–3.)
