Resumen de Escrito en prisión: las escrituras carcelarias en los siglo XVI y XVII
Based on the visits of Alonso Tamarón to the Inquisition Prison of Cordoba between January and July 1569, we learn that several convicts asked for books to read or pens to write. Of course, not many of them made these requests, and most of them were clergymen. But this hardly comes as a surprise, considering the limited number of people who could read and write in those days, particularly among a population of convicts. There were more people with reading habits, however, than one would expect on a first approach. In this study we attempt to provide evidence for that.
