«Quema de brujas en Logroño» is the historical essay by Leandro Fernández de Moratín, published by La máscara in paperback (125 pages, in Spanish).
The book recounts the auto-da-fé of Logroño in 1610, where the Inquisition condemned more than fifty people for witchcraft and five were executed at the stake. Moratín recovered and edited around 1811 the chronicle of the printer Juan de Mongastón, a witness to the events, with sceptical and ironic annotations.
Published in 1999, it belongs to the collection «Malditos heterodoxos!» and includes a prologue by Eduardo Alonso on witchcraft in Navarre.
For those interested in the history of the Inquisition, witchcraft and the editing of historical chronicles.
Leandro Fernández de Moratín was a Spanish dramatist, translator and neoclassical poet. He was a major poet, dramatist and man of letters whose writings promoted the reformist ideas associated with the Spanish Enlightenment.
