1756. Carta de Francisco António Xavier para Caetano de Jesus ou Paulo de Nascimento, frades e comissários do Santo Ofício.

Denunciation letter from Francisco António Xavier to Caetano de Jesus or Paulo de Nascimento, both religious men and commissioners of the Inquisition.

The author reports a bigamous third person, a man from Portugal who lived now in Brazil.

The Inquisition archives contain, apart from the around 40 thousand individual proceedings ("processos"), a collection of scattered charges, for which the Inquisition "Promotor" had to decide whether or not to prosecute. Complaints, confessions, letters by the commissioners or about different stages of each proceedings are some of the document types that can be found in these books. This letter has been kept among such documentation.
