In English | Family letter from Pedro López de la Cañada, musician, to his uncle. Given the lack of response to his letters, the author reports again that he is being held in jail in Ocaña (Toledo), providing some details about the developments of his process. He also requests that his uncle go see him, together with his brother, so that he can go free. Pedro López de la Cañada, musician, was accused of bigamy by the Inquisition of Toledo: he married a second time when his first wife was still alive. Even before that, he had gotten married to a different woman, but that marriage had been annulled. There was also the suspicion that he might have married another young woman, but this was never confirmed. The letters that he wrote to his family from the jail in Ocaña (Toledo) were intercepted and included in his Inquisition files as a proof of his crimes. In them, he used a code that consisted of replacing all the vowels by the letter "p" - over each false "p" he put one to five horizontal lines, thus signaling the vowel that was meant to be. He was later condemned to an "auto de fe" and to stay out of Toledo for two years. |
