[1583]. Carta de Martim Pinheiro, oficial do Santo Ofício, para Diogo de Sousa, inquisidor em Lisboa.

Author(s) Martim Pinheiro      
Addressee(s) Diogo de Sousa      
In English

Private letter from Martim Pinheiro, an official from the Holy Office, to Diogo de Sousa, inquisitor in Lisbon

The author informs the addressee of a delay in a procedure arranged by him.

This letter was added to the documents of João Lourenço's testimony against some residents in Guarda. The inquisitor responsible for the case was Diogo de Sousa, who is the addressee of this letter.

The Inquisition archives contain, apart from the around 40 thousand individual proceedings ("processos"), a collection of scattered charges, for which the Inquisition "Promotor" had to decide whether or not to prosecute. Complaints, confessions, letters by the commissioners or about different stages of each proceedings are some of the document types that can be found in these books. This letter has been kept among such documentation.

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.
