Abstract
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.
