In English | Request letter from Tomás Francisco, a priest, to a non identified addressee, also a priest. The authors asks for advice in the case of a student that seems suspicious of having made a pact with the devil. Giraldo Nobre Ferreira was a Theology student in Braga, the son of a trader. He was arrested in 1720 because he had written a note where he invoked the devil. He explained that he was desperate to gain the affection of a woman and wrote the note in order to conquer her. He was sentenced to exile in the extreme South of Portugal, in Castro Marim, Algarve. |
