1678. Carta de Rodrigo Dias Henriques para Joseph de Borja.

Author(s) Rodrigo Dias Henriques      
Addressee(s) Joseph de Borja      
In English

Letter from Rodrigo Dias Henriques to Joseph the Borja

The author writes to Joseph de Borja in order to apply for a job in his service.

Joseph de Borja was accused of heresy, apostasy, of judaizer and for observing the Law of Moses. Several testimonies pointed at the defendant for being connected to other judaizers. Furthermore, a ministry of Toledo´s Holy Office accused him of trying to bribe him to be permissive with some judaizers during the interrogations in order to avoid to be denounced. During the trial all these facts were proven to be true and the defendant himself confessed he had followed the Law of Moses since he was twelve years old. Eventually, the defendant became reconciled to the church and all his properties were seized. Neither the letter nor his author are mentioned during the trial. On the superscript there is an annotation that reads "Joseph", but it is hard to read because it is blurred.

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.
