[434] The editors of the "Documentos Ineditos para la Historia de
Espana," in a very elaborate notice of the prosecution of Archbishop
Carranza, represent the literary intercourse between the German and
Spanish Protestants as even more extensive than it is stated to be in
the text. According to them, a regular _depot_ was established at Medina
del Campo and Seville, for the sale of the forbidden books at very low
rates. "De las imprentas de Alemania se despachaban a Flandes, y desde
alli a Espana, al principio por los puertos de mar, y despues cuando ya
hubo mas vigilancia de parte del gobierno, los enviaban a Leon de
Francia desde donde se introducian en la peninsula por Navarra y Aragon.
Un tal Vilman librero de Amberes tenia tienda en Medina del Campo y en
Sevilla donde vendia las obras de los protestantes en espanol y latin.
Estos libros de Francfort se daban a buen mercado para que circulasen
con mayor facilidad." Documentos Ineditos, tom. V. p. 399.
