Description:

Records of two autos-da-fé of the Portuguese Inquisition occurring in 17th-century Lisbon. The first record, from February 23, 1682, is in Spanish and the convicted individuals have mostly been charged with Judaism. The punishments include some combination of confiscation of goods and property, a number of years in prison, and a number of years in exile. Other charges include witchcraft, superstition, and cheating, which carry sentences including fines, some number of lashes, and some number of years in exile. The second record, from May 10, 1682, is in Portuguese and again, the majority of the convicted individuals have been charged with Judaism. The sentences include confiscation of goods and property, perpetual imprisonment, a number of years in the galleys, a number of years in exile, and in the case of 4 unrepentant followers of "the law of Moses," execution. Other charges from this second record include renouncing one's faith (in the case of "new Christians"), sodomy, blasphemy, and making a pact with the Devil, which carry lesser sentences involving confiscation of goods and property, a number of years in prison, and possibly time in the galleys. There is also one man charged with returning to the "sect of Mahoma" after having been baptized. At the end of the manuscript (f .11-16) is a printed Spanish version of the May 10, 1682 record dated from the same year and titled Relacion verdadera del auto general de la fé que celebró el Santo Oficio de la Inquisicion de la ciudad de Lisboa en el terreno de palacio de dicha ciudad el domingo, 10 de mayo, deste presente año de 1682.
