The text of the Compendium includes many of the same rhetorical figures present in Codex Espangliensis. The pictures are not only a mnemonic, they are also a script for the performance. The book’s pictures are a combination of visual rhetoric and a script. In its visual rhetoric, the pictures of the book mnemonically represent what the text contains. The script of the Compendium, however, is not a form of mnemonics. Instead, the script is an argumentation framework that Vitoria uses to show the links between the natural law and the very laws of his time. The text is not a script, but a script within a text.
I would like to leave the issue of politics and the Inquisition as open ended. As I stated, I do not believe that it is possible to separate the work from its political context. The Inquisition was a political institution, and even if the Compendium was not a political document, its argumentative structure could easily be construed as such. The work could be read as a political reformist manifesto in the form of a text with the purpose of reforming the laws of its day. On the other hand, I could just as easily read the Compendium as a theological critique of the concept of the inquisitors.
Regarding the origins of the Codex, I would focus on the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth century, and the ongoing exchange between the Roman Catholic Church and the Spanish inquisitors. During this time, the Spanish Inquisition gained a great deal of power in northern Spain, and in Castile in particular. The Inquisitor General, Francisco de Vitoria, was, like Maximilian’s father, also a theologian. His work, De Legibus Naturae, is the basis for much of the thought on natural law in the human rights movement today. It is widely believed by scholars that Vitoria’s work was used as a basis for the Compendium at the time that it was written. This is corroborated by the appearance of the Compendium in the same city as Vitoria’s book, which he had recently finished writing. 827ec27edc
