Fray Tomas de Torquemada (1420-1498), a Spanish Dominican monk, was appointed as the Inquisitor General by Pope Innocent VIII in 1483, given the bull "Romanus Pontifex." Known for his role in the Expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492, Torquemada's tenure saw thousands of heretics brought before the Inquisition. His impact is depicted in the 1889 oil painting, "Expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492," and the engraving, "Juan de Torquemada" (1388-1468). The title page of his "Compilacion de las Instructiones del Officio de la Sancta Inquisition" further solidifies his legacy as a pivotal figure in the history of the Spanish Inquisition.
