Gómez Camacho: a paradoxical prophet in 16th century Spain

Gómez Camacho, visionario activo en el Reino de Sevilla entre 1540 y 1553, tiene una relación muy estrecha con los evangélicos sevillanos como Egidio y Constantino, que serian perseguidos en años posteriores. Es un ejemplo claro de un profetismo cercano al de su contemporáneo GuilIaume Postel en Italia, pero, sobre todo, su memoria sobrevivió más de den años en forma de una congregación semiclandestina, ignorada por la Inquisición hasta 1623.Gómez Camacho, visionary active in the Kingdom of Seville between 1540 and 1553, had a very close relationship with the Sevilian evangelical preachers as Egidio and Constantino, who were persecuted in later years, and was an outstanding example of a kind of prophetic charisma Iikely to that of his contemporary Guillaume Postel, in Italy. But, more important, his memory survived for more than a century by way of a semiclandestine congregation, ignored by the Inquisition until 1623
