| The cleric Miguel Monterde (1505? -1571) was prebendary of the Cathedral of Zaragoza and rector of a rectory in Villanueva de la Huerva. He was a former student of Alcalá de Henares where his teacher was Dr. Juan Gil, commonly known as Doctor. Egidio. Later on, Dr Egidio would become one of the main disseminators of the reformed sensibility in Castile and Aragón. In 1558, the Spanish Inquisition prosecuted Monterde for his relationship with his former teacher and another disciple of Doctor Egidio, Juan Pérez de Pineda. The unpublished abstract of the process provides us with relevant information about the activity of Doctor Egidio after he was condemned in 1552 and about the system of fundraising and distribution of Protestant works published in spanish in XVIth century Geneva.
