Happy anniversary, books!
Maybe they don’t want to remember this day. 400 years ago today, on 17 February 1616, these three books were all expurgated by
Diego Mexía de Fernangil, a Spanish poet-turned-inquisitor, in Potosí. I have no idea when they made their way from Potosí to Arequipa or why they remained together after that fateful day.
Here is the inquisitor note from the bottom book. Previously, we featured the top book in the stack, including some precisely razored-out passages inside–no doubt Diego’s doing!

So, the anniversary may have been last week, but here are a few items from the University of Iowa to celebrate.
We have a 1797 edition of
Diego Mexía de Fernangil’s translation of Ovid’s Heroides. Beyond working for the Inquisition, he was first and foremost a poet and translator.
We also have a facsimile map of New Spain from 1616 (another anniversary!) Admittedly, Mexía de Fernangil expurgated the three Recoleta books in Potosí, in the Viceroyalty of Peru, but he was based in New Spain prior to his appointment as expurgator.

“A tendon in her shoulder was the key to her machine, a shutoff switch. The arm was useless when enough pressure was applied. Nigel knew exactly where to push, and there was no doubt in Westie’s mind that he’d planned it exactly that way when attaching the machine to her arm. If it hadn’t been for that vulnerability, there would’ve been nothing to stop her strength.”
