Autor(es) Manuel Soares

In English

Instructions letter sent by Manuel Soares to his cousin, Gaspar de Passos Figueiroa, a bishop's bailiff

The author instructs his imprisoned cousin on how to act and who to blame in order to get free from the Inquisition.

Gaspar de Passos Figueiroa, a bishop's bailiff, was arrested by the Inquisition under the accusation of receiving bribes from some New-Christians he was supposed to arrest, allowing them to flee instead. He was also accused of contacting his own family by letter when he was already in prison; indeed, the Inquisition prisoners were not allowed to reveal "the Saint Office's secret".

If there is no translation for the letter itself, you may copy the text (while using the view 'Standardization') and paste it to an automatic translator of your choice.
