[Footnote 253:  ’...al principal de ellos [los que habian procurado el Breve] y pretensor de mitra, le costo la vida el sentimiento que tuvo de ver tan indignado al Rey Catolico’.  I have not been able to consult Jesus y Maria’s work.  My quotation, like Alonso Getino’s (op. cit., p. 354), is taken at second-hand from Vicente de la Fuente’s edition of Saint Theresa’s works.]

[Footnote 254:  January 26, 1591, is the latest date attached to the Documentos published by Cristobal Perez Pastor, Bibliografia madrilena (Madrid, 1907), Parte III, pp. 404-409.  On January 25, 1591, Luis de Leon signed a document undertaking to accept 1,000 reales in lieu of 2,800 due to him by the estate of Cornelio Bonard, formerly a bookseller at Salamanca; see Cristobal Perez Pastor, Bibliografia madrilena (Madrid, 1906), Parte II, pp. 454-455.]

[Footnote 255:  F. Blanco Garcia, Segundo proceso, p. 53.  The Salamancan Inquisitors reported to the Supreme Inquisition:  ’...havemos entendido que los de su orden se xatan y alaban de que en este sto offiº se a declarado ser verdad lo que el dho frai luis sustento...’]

[Footnote 256:  F. Blanco Garcia, Segundo proceso, p. 49.]

[Footnote 257:  C. Muinos Saenz, Sobre el ’Deciamos ayer’... y otros excesos in La Ciudad de Dios (1909), vol.  LXXIX, p. 540.]

[Footnote 258:  Alonso Getino, op. cit., p. 355.]

[Footnote 259:  C. Muinos Saenz, Sobre el ’Deciamos ayer’... y otros excesos in La Ciudad de Dios (1909), vol.  LXXIX, p. 540, n. 1.]

[Footnote 260:  Alonso Getino writes (op. cit., p. 355):  ’al ser elegido Provincial, nueve dias antes de morir, no puede suponerse que estuviera enfermo de consideracion’.  This is a guess very wide of the mark.  F. de Mendez, in the Revista Agustiniana (1881), quoted (p. 351) Juan Quijano, a contemporary whose chronicle is now lost, as saying that when Luis de Leon was elected Provincial he was already confined to his bed with the illness of which he died.]

[Footnote 261:  The portrait and character-sketch will be found in the photo-chromotype reproduction of Francisco Pacheco, Libro de descripcion de verdaderos retratos de illustres y memorables varones.  The original is dated Sevilla, 1599.  The reproduction, due to Jose Maria Asensio y Toledo, was photo-chromotyped between 1881 and 1884.  Owing to the rarity of the reproduction, it has been thought desirable to reprint in an appendix the passage in which Pacheco deals with Luis de Leon.]

[Footnote 262:  The reference is given by C. Muinos Saenz, Sobre el ’Deciamos ayer’... y otros excesos in La Ciudad de Dios (1909), vol.  LXXX, p. 119.]
