Scarce Spanish legal book considered the first work dealing with the question of proof, a manual for tortured testimonies.


Antonio de Quevedo y Hoyos was a Castilian lawyer in the court of Philip IV and familiar of the Santo Oficio de la Inquisicion. Libro de indicios y tormentos, which is considered the first published work devoted to the question of proof in criminal law, deals with the practice of torture, the favored method of the Spanish Inquisition of extracting confessions in Spain and Hispanic America. The book is essentially a detailed explanation of the uses of torture during the interrogation to gather evidence in particular cases, and it classifies what procedures and level of torture to be used for specific crimes.
