In English | Request letter sent from Gonçalo Eanes, a sawmill owner, to Gregório Serrão, a Jesuit priest. The author asks the addressee to try to make his wife join him in Brazil before he dies. Catarina Dias, a woman who sold glass in the Lisbon market square was arrested and accused of bigamy by the Inquisition in 1576. She had married a sawmill worker, Gonçalo Eanes, twenty years earlier, just before he went to Brazil, where he became rich as a sawmill owner. He lived by his rent and had several sawmil slaves in his house in Bahia. Catarina Dias remarried a paver, João de Medina, while her first husband was still alive and the letter here published was given to the Inquisition by its addressee as a proof of her guilt. |
