This is Fry Louis de Leon, one of the great intellectuals in the university’s history.

这就是弗雷·路易斯·德·莱昂, 在该大学的历史中一位伟大的知识分子之一。

He was a revered theologian, whose progressive scholarship and religious poetry were part of the mystical tradition of El Greco and Saint Teresa.

他是一位受人尊敬的神学家,他对学术的进取及宗教诗歌部分成为了神秘传统的埃尔·格列柯和圣特蕾莎修女的一部分。

And this is his lecture theater, just as it was when he taught here in the mid 1500.

而这是他的阶梯教室,就像在1500年代中期他在这里教书时候一样。

This is where he expounded his own unique vision of faith, intense, questioning, a deep personal engagement with the bible.

It was while he was lecturing in this very room that Fry Louis came to the attention of the Spanish inquisition.

当他在这间屋子里讲课, 弗雷·路易斯引起了西班牙宗教法庭的注意。

His crime had been to produce his own translation of one of the most erotic passages in the whole bible, the Song of Songs.

Now this dangerous text was being sold and circulated in the street just outside this building.

现在这一危险的文本正在这个建筑街外出售及流通。

That had to be stopped and it had to be stopped immediately.

这必须停止,必须立即停止。

So on the 27th of March, 1572, the officers of the inquisition stormed into this room, Fry Louis was lecturing up there.
