1603. Carta de Pero da Silva para André Barbosa de Novais, abade.

Autor(es) Pero da Silva      
Destinatário(s) André Barbosa de Novais      
In English

Private letter from Pêro da Silva to André Barbosa de Novais, abbot.

The author explains that he failed a meeting with the recipient because he did not know anything about its purpose.

Jorge Vaz, abbot of S. Martinho de Escapães, Porto, presented himself before the Inquisition of Coimbra, claiming that André Barbosa de Novais, abbot of Santa Maria da Arrifana, who he considered his enemy, had threatened to denounce him. The reason for that denouncement was a public preaching by Jorge Vaz, in which he allegedly tried to prove that the name of Jesus enclosed all the mysteries that are in God. The process includes many theological views on the issue, and in the counter-arguments presented by the priest Jorge Vaz it is clearly stated that André Barbosa de Novais was "a capital enemy of the defendant by many causes," which are then widely described. The two letters also included in the process were obtained during the investigation of witnesses, a step made by André Barbosa de Novais at the request of the Inquisition of Coimbra.

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.
