1540. Carta de Fernão Mendes, procurador, para João de Melo, inquisidor.

Author(s) Fernão Mendes      
Addressee(s) João de Melo      
In English

Private information from Fernão Mendes, an attorney, to João de Melo, an Inquisitor.

The author tells the addressee that his defendant wants to confess his guilt.

Most of the letters that were included as instrumental evidence in the Inquisition proceedings against Simão Franco were written by the defendant's attorney, Fernão Mendes, and were addressed to the Inquisitor in charge, João de Melo. They contain some pressure in favor of the defendant. Simão Franco started by denying that he practiced Judaism, stating that the witnesses who were accusing him were his capital enemies, but ended by admitting his guilt.

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.
