"Dios hara inquisicion de vuestros juicios": Antonio Enriquez Gomez' search for justice (Seventeenth-century Spanish theatrical treatments regarding personal, earthly, and divine justification and punishment)
One theme uniting the work of Antonio Enriquez Gomez (1600-1663), a Spanish
Marrano who resided in France for many years, was his search for justice -
personal, earthly and divine. By examining two of his plays and two treati
ses, above all the comically sardonic "Inquisicion de Lucifer y Visita de t
odos los diablos" (n.d.), a text recently discovered in Amsterdam, it is po
ssible to see that this author bases his thesis, in part, on tow geographic
al locations: "Peralvillo", which symbolizes the miscarriage of earthly jus
tice, and "el valle de Josafa", where divine justice will prevail.
