1709. Carta de frei João de Deus, religioso, para dona Pudenciana de Belém, religiosa.

Autor(es) João de Deus      
Destinatário(s) Pudenciana de Belém      
In English

Love letter written by the monk frei João de Deus to Dona Pudenciana de Belém, a nun.

The author writes a love poem inspired by the addressee and sends it to her.

Sister Ana da Encarnação, a Reverend Mother in the Convent of Santa Clara in Oporto, was prosecuted by the Inquisition and she defended herself by accusing a monk, frei João de Deus, of having affairs with several nuns. In order to prove it, she presented letters exchanged between him and two of the nuns. She also accused the monk of convincing her that, because she was a saint, she didn't need to follow religious precepts and she could commit "vile acts" with him.

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.
