In English | Protest letter from Pero Gemosdra, a trader, to Lancaro Tenreiro, also a trader. The auhor claims that he shouldn't have been sued by the addressee because he ows him nothing, quite the opposite. The letter mentions José Coutinho Botelho, a half New-Christian who was twice prosecuted and convicted by the Inquisition. The first time he was prosecuted for Judaism and received a sentence of three years in the galleys. The second time he was charged of trying to escape from Lisbon to the Flanders. He justified the journey saying that he was just accompanying an old deaf men who was going to the Flanders and to Hamburg and needed someone to hear for him the answers to the letters he was carrying there. |
