[Footnote 82:  Documentos ineditos, vol.  X, p. 193:  ’Es imposible acordarse memoria de hombre de todo lo que en las dichas juntas se ha dicho, mayormente que con la colera de la disputa, algunas veces salen de todos los terminos de razon y modestia los hombres, y se ciegan de manera que dende a poco ellos mismos no saben lo que han dicho.’]

[Footnote 83:  Luis de Leon’s memory betrayed him as regards the signatures attached to the Vatable Bible.  He was under the impression that he had signed a copy which was handed over to Francisco Sancho.  In this he proved to be mistaken.  On thinking the point over, Luis de Leon suggested that he must have signed a copy in the possession of the Salamancan bookseller, Gaspar de Portonariis; this impression was likewise mistaken. (Documentos ineditos, vol.  X, pp. 520-527.)

An amazing lapse of memory led Luis de Leon astray with respect to Bartolome de Medina; as Medina did not take his degree till 1570 (Documentos ineditos, vols.  X, p. 323, and XI, p. 340), Luis de Leon felt justified in stating that his opponent did not take part in the revision of Vatable’s Bible, which (such was the prisoner’s impression) was finished in 1569.  The discovery of Medina’s signature in the Sancho copy of Vatable (Documentos ineditos, vol.  X, p. 522) rendered this position untenable.  The fact appears to be that the Old Testament was revised in 1569; owing to the absence of Sancho and Luis de Leon, the revision of the New Testament was suspended; it was not finished till 1571, and thus Medina was enabled to sign the Vatable Bible.  It seems clear that Luis de Leon had no head for dates.  He was, as we have seen (p. 94), doubtful as to when he was arrested, and he was capable of imagining that a sitting of the Valladolid court had been held a week before, when no such sitting had taken place. (Documentos ineditos, vol.  XI, p. 18.)]

[Footnote 84:  Documentos ineditos, vol.  XI, pp. 23, 24:  ’...antes de agora yo tengo pedido que se me declaren los nombres y personas de los Senores del Consejo de la santa y general Inquisicion, ante quien los auctos y sentencias interlocutorias y difinitivas deste negocio pueden ir a parar, para que sabiendo quien son yo pueda deliberar lo que conviene a mi justicia, y si tengo justa causa para recusar a alguno dellos; y por no se me haber declarado yo tengo apelado.  Y porque por estar preso en carceles secretas no puedo por mi ni por otro informarme... pido y suplico a Vs.  Mds., e si necesario es, con debido acatamiento y reverencia requiero, no se envie cosa alguna de lo tocante a este mi proceso a los dichos Senores del Consejo, y protesto la nulidad de lo que en contrario se hiciere.  Y si tacita o expresamente me fuere denegado otra vez, apelo para ante quien y con derecho debo, y pido los apostolos desta mi apelacion con las instancias e ahincamientos necesarios, y pidolo por testimonio.’  It will be seen that the account given in the text is an under-statement.  Luis de Leon not only appealed over the heads of the Valladolid judges to the General Inquisition; he was prepared also to challenge, if necessary, individual members of the General Inquisition itself.]
