In English | Request letter from Fernão Lopes, a trader, to Gaspar da Costa, a carver and a packman. The author begs the addressee to go and visit him on his part of the São Miguel island. He misses him and seems to imply that they had a falling out. >In 1663, when he was nineteen, Fernão Lopes presented himself before the Holy Office and confessed the practice of Judaism. Unlike others in his family, his mother and an uncle who were convicted and burnt in an auto-da-fé, Fernão Lopes was set free. But twenty two years later, his neighbour and close friend Gaspar da Costa accused him again of Judaism, and added sodomy, one other practice that the Inquisition prosecuted. Two letters by Fernão Lopes were offered to prove it. The accused was arrested for two years, but a close investigation revealed that Gaspar da Costa was using the Inquisition to get revenge on his former friend, who was set free for a second time. |
