Autor(es) Batista      
Destinatário(s) Simão Batista      
In English

Private letter from Batista, friar, to Simão Batista, friar.

The author asks a superior to take action against the behavior of a friar, Vicente Borges, who has frequented brothels and maintains an affair with a married woman.

This case concerns Vicente Borges, charged with the unlawful exercise of ecclesiastical functions. The defendant was born in Lisbon and claimed to have been a friar in a convent in Coimbra. He was arrested and accused of various crimes, including sodomy, robbery and extorsion, assuming various false names. He was later condemned to go to Angola, with seven years in the galleys, and was considered suspect of heresy and apostasy.
