[633] In the Logroño auto of November 7, 1610, there marched in the procession a thousand familiars, commissioners and notaries. In that of Barcelona, June 21, 1627, there were five or six hundred familiars and alguaziles.—Auto de fe celebrado in Logroño, 7 y 8 de Noviembre, 1610 (Logroño, 1610).—Parets, Sucesos de Cataluña (Mem. hist, español, XX, 20).

[634] In the early autos, where there were large numbers of the dead and absent, an economical though somewhat grotesque device was that of statuæ duplicatæ—effigies with Janus faces, one before and the other behind. At Barcelona, January 25, 1488, there were five married couples thus represented by five effigies and, on May 23d, of the same year, twenty effigies were made to do duty for forty-two fugitives, while, on February 9, 1489, ten effigies served for thirty-nine absentees.—Carbonell, op. cit. (Col. de Doc. de la C. de Aragon, XXVIII, 13, 15, 30).

As regards the corozas or mitres, the Roman Inquisition, with a finer sense of what was fitting, forbade their use in 1596, as derogatory to the episcopal dignity, which was distinguished by the use of mitres.—Decr. S. Congr. S^ti Officii, p. 458 (Bibl. del R. Archivo di Stato in Roma, Fondo camerale, Congr. del S. Officio, Vol. 3).
