1722. Carta de João de Moura de Andrade, abade, para destinatário desconhecido, membro da Inquisição de Coimbra.

Author(s)	João de Moura de Andrade
Addressee(s)	Anónimo404
In English	Letter from João de Moura de Andrade, a priest, to a friend, member of the Coimbra Inquisition. The author gossips on matters involving other priests and tells how he is trying to drive a family of New Christians to confess the practice of Judaism. The family of Henrique Lourenço de Castro, a New Christian, was accused of judaism and persecuted by the Inquisition. A letter by a priest who made the first inquiries on the case was included as a proof in a larger action against the New Christians of the region. 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.
