[1709]. Copia de carta de Diego Díaz, artesano, para María de los Ángeles.

Author(s) Diego Díaz      
Addressee(s) María de los Ángeles      
In English

Copy of a letter from Diego Díaz, an artisan, to María de los Ángeles.

The author writes María de los Ángeles to thank her for her help and for her kindness. He also asks her to tell her son, Francisco de Córdoba, to visit him in jail.

The accused in this process was Manuel Díaz, a merchant. In 1712, his cousin Gaspar Díaz denounced him to the Inquisition, accusing him to follow the law of Moses. In 1714, the Inquisition of Cuenca started a process against him, accusing him of being a judaizer. However, the process was suspended some years after, when it was demonstrated that Gaspar Díaz had denounced his cousin only because of the animosity that existed between them and because Manuel had refused to help Gaspar economically while he was in jail. Between 1707 and 1711, Gaspar Díaz had been imprisoned in the Royal Jail for coin counterfeiting, together with his brother Diego Díaz and other relatives. While they were imprisoned, they had written letters threatening to denounce various relatives if they did not send them certain sums of money. Some of these letters were joined to the proceedings as a proof of the extortions made by the two brothers.
