FERNANDO de MONTESIONOS In response to a post by Jeremy Bliss about the family Montesinos I post here the declaration of Samuel Aboab aka Francesco Domingo de Guzman before the Spanish Inquisition (Liber 1127) about Fernando de Montesinos. It is a remarkable declaration for lots of reasons. It describes the glorious coming of the dead body of Fernando from Antwerp to Amsterdam in a bronze casket. ...
