Answer:
Cecil Roth in "History of the Marranos," page 143, cites the Church authority Amadeo de los Rios as giving the figures of 28,540 burned alive, and 308,847 punished in torture and other cruel ways. These figures are exclusively for Jews up to 1525, in less than half a century of existence, implying that the true figures are larger even than Llorente quoted.
In addition, "From six to eight hundred thousand Jews were driven away from it at once; and all their property seized." Jones' Church History ii page 98.
