Resumen
El rol desempeñado por la Inquisición en Chile no se limitó a iniciar los sumarios en contra de los sospechosos de herejía, además, y al igual que las demás instituciones de la Monarquía Hispánica, dio cuenta de los hechos políticos, sociales y culturales que acontecieron al interior de sus espacios jurisdiccionales. Esta última labor ha sido poco analizada hasta ahora, pues la historiografía ha dado preponderancia al rol específico de la misma, salvaguardar la fe, analizando detalladamente quiénes fueron sometidos a procesos, bajo qué cargos y cómo se castigaron. No obstante, a base de una perspectiva jurídica y social, daremos cuenta del rol vigilante y de coadyuvante al “buen gobierno” del comisario de la Inquisición de Santiago de Chile. A partir del análisis de una serie de registros históricos, se analizará la inundación y el posterior incendio –ambos hechos dolosos– que afecta- ron a los agustinos de Santiago de Chile en 1595. Por lo anterior, el presente artículo da cuenta de la inundación e incendio que sufrió esta orden, vinculada a la circulación de lasinformaciones, a los conflictos entre órdenes religiosas, de qué manera se reguló este tipo de delitos por el derecho canónico y cómo fue el accionar del comisario de la Inquisición de Santiago de Chile ante los hechos desastrosos.
The role played by the Inquisition in Chile was not limited to initiating the indictments against the suspicious of heresy, in addition, and like the other overseas institutions of the Hispanic Monarchy, it reflected the political, social and cultural events that occurred within their jurisdictional spaces. This last work has been poorly analyzed until now be- cause historiography has given preponderancie to its specific role, to safeguard the faith, analizing in detail who was subjected to processes, under which charges and how they were punished. However, based on a legal and social perspective, we will give an account of the vigilant and contributing role to the “good government” of the commissioner of the Inquisition of Santiago de Chile. Based on the analysis of a series of historical records, the flood and subsequent fire –both malicious acts– that affected the Augustinians of Santiago de Chile in 1595 will be analyzed. Fort he above, this article analyzes the flood and fire that this Order suffered, linked to the circulation of information, conflicts among reli- gious orders, how this kind of crime was regulated by canon law and how was the acting of the commissioner of the Inquisition of Santiago of Chile before the disastrous events.
