1658. Carta de Antonio de Cáceres para Bernardo Portelo, lencero y comerciante.

Author(s) Antonio de Cáceres      
Addressee(s) Bernardo López Portelo      
In English

Letter from Antonio de Cáceres to Bernardo Portelo, a draper and a trader.

The author writes to Bernardo Portelo begging alms or help due to his unfortunate position.

Bernardo López Portelo (also just Bernardo Portelo in some letters), was a draper and a trader resident in Madrid and native to Portugal who was accused of judaizer in 1661. Among other offences, he was accused of being an abettor of a judaizers network by means of different alms that he was giving to some people reconciled with the Holy Office of Toledo, Valladolid and Cuenca. A witness stated that they first suspected him when they saw many superscripts that belonged to the Jews from Bayonne with his name on it (fol.41). The letters provided as exhibit to the trial together with the rest of the documents were seized from the defendant´s house: most of them were alms petitions.

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.
