(prop. Alumbrados i.e. enlightened), a mystic sect in Spain since 1575, who considered neither the sacraments nor good works necessary, and rejected the ministerial office. They were exterminated in Spain by the Inquisition in 1623. A part of them emigrated to France, where they were likewise suppressed by royal order in 1635. (See ILLUMINATI).
