_Berroçosa_ (Fray Manuel Santos), author of a work called _Essays on the Theatre of Rome_. He was imprisoned by the Inquisition of Toledo, because he spoke of the court of Rome, in his Essays, in a manner displeasing to the Jesuits and inquisitors. The proceedings in this trial were so arbitrary, that the work in question was not examined until the affair was nearly finished. The writings of this trial were taken from the archives of the Inquisition, for some unknown reason. In 1768 they were laid, by the king's order, before the council extraordinary of bishops, who were assembled to consider the affairs of the Jesuits. _Blanco_ (Don Francis), archbishop of Santiago. See Chapter 29. _Brozas_ (Francis Sanchez de Las), generally called _el Brocense_; he was born in the village of Las Brozas, from whence he took his name. He was one of the greatest _humanists_ of his age, and the most distinguished Spaniard of that party in the time of Philip II. During this reign he published several works, which are mentioned by Nicolas Antonio in his catalogue. The severe _Justus Lipse_ calls him the _Mercury and Apollo of Spain_, and Gaspard Scioppius, the _divine man_. He was prosecuted by the Inquisition of Valladolid several times for some propositions contained in his works, but principally in a book in octavo, entitled, _Escolias à las quatro Sylvas escritas en verso heroico por Angelo Policiano, intituladas Nutricia, Rustico, Manto y Ambra_; viz. "Commentaries on the four Sylvas, written in heroic verse by Angelo Politiano, called _Nutricia_, _Rustico_, _Manto_, and _Ambra_." _El Brocense_ completely satisfied the qualifiers, and his work was not inscribed on the Index. _Baruaga_ (Don Thomas Saenz), archbishop of Saragossa. See Chapter 29. _Cadena_ (Louis de la), second chancellor of the university of Alcala de Henares, and nephew of Doctor Pedro de Lerma, who was the first who possessed that dignity. Cadena was one of the most learned men of his time; he understood Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, and other eastern languages; he wrote Latin with the greatest elegance, and enjoyed a high reputation among the literati. The learned Alvaro Gomez de Castro says, in his _History of Cardinal Ximenez de Cisneros_, that he had formed the design of destroying the bad scholastic taste which reigned in the universities. This enterprise cost Cadena dear: those who were attached to the opinions of the schools denounced him to the Inquisition of Toledo, as suspected of Lutheranism; the archbishops Ximenez de Cisneros and Fonseca, who protected the persecuted members of the university of Alcala, were no more; and Cadena was obliged to follow the example of his uncle, and fly to Paris to escape the dungeons of the holy office. He was received as a doctor in the Sorbonne, and died a professor in that celebrated house. _Campomanes._ See following Chapter. _Cano_ (Melchior), bishop of Canary. See Chapter 29.
