Abstract


The Inquisition trial of Pedro José Velarde in 1768 reveals the life and works of this street poet that was very popular in the market of El Baratillo. Velarde was imprisoned because some of his compositions were dedicated to praise the activities of the jesuits, expelled in 1767. He was sentenced to three years in prison serving in the San Juan de Dios Hospital, but died in poverty in 1768.
