Sixteenth-century Europe and North Africa witnessed parallel processes of heightened religious enthusiasm: invoking divine grace and claiming non-mediated communication with God, visionaries, prophets, and saints of both societies sought a religious and political transformation of their communities. Through an analysis of trial records of the Spanish Inquisition, this talk examines the spiritual career of a young Morisco prophet in sixteenth-century Toledo, Spain. It pays attention to the spiritual transformation of the boy from Christian visionary, to Muslim saint, and finally his promised prophethood as “God’s envoy” (enviado de Alá) The boy’s visions of heaven and hell, and his journey to Mecca accompanied by the angel Gabriel not only shed light on the tensions between forced assimilation and the desire to preserve religious and cultural forms, but ultimately it forced us to reexamine the boundaries of Islamic studies in the Middle Period.
