Two of the surprisingly few contemporary Spanish works on the expulsion of the "Moriscos", the Spanish Muslims and their descendants who became baptized Christians, both in their first edition.

The first work, written by a Carmelite Friar, is less fanatical than the better-known texts of Bleda and Fonseca, both of whom were aggressive in their efforts to influence the Spanish crown in favour of the expulsion. The second debates the issue in the form of a learned dialogue. The two works are usually bound together and are rarely found in good condition.
