1709. Copia de carta de Diego Díaz, artesano, para Francisco de Córdoba, administrador de millones.

Autor(es) Diego Díaz      
Destinatário(s) Francisco de Córdoba      
In English

Copy of a letter from Diego Díaz, an artisan, to Francisco de Córdoba, administrator of the 'Millones' (an indirect tax on food).

The author asks Francisco de Córdoba to pay a certain sum of money necessary for the release of a colonel who has been imprisoned.

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.

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.
