Lista das pessoas, quesahiraõ, condenações, quetiveraõ, e sentenças, que se léraõ no Auto publico da Fé, que se celebrounaIgreja do convento de S. Domingosdestacidade de Lisboaem 16. Novembro de 1749. [A list of the people, authorizations and verdicts announced at the "auto da fé" ceremony that took place in the Santo Domingo church in the city of Lisbon on November 16, 1749]. Lisbon, 1749. Portuguese.
A list of victims condemned by the inquisition in Lisbon and their penalties as will be announced at the "auto da fé" (act of faith) ceremony – a religious festive rite where the inquisition executed its victims' verdicts. The ceremony will take place in the presence of the inquisitor Nuno De-Conia.
The list has detailed names, ages, occupations and residences of the accused. Most of the people mentioned are Jews accused of "Jewish worship". It is possible to see that the penalties for this sin match the extent the accused shows regret and were determined according to the way the accused responded to the query if this was his first crime. The verdict for a person who confessed to the guilt of being Jewish was five years exile to Angola (then a Portuguese colony), and life-imprisonment. Someone who was accused once and denied being Jewish, or repented from his heresy, was imprisoned for a period of time decided by the court. Someone who denied being Jewish for the third or fourth time was condemned to life imprisonment.
The Portuguese inquisition was established by the request of the King of Portugal and was active from 1536-1821. The first "auto da fé" ceremony in Portugal took place in 1540. In 1497, Portuguese Jews were forcibly baptized and coerced to convert to Christianity. The inquisition pursued the heretics who continued fulfilling Jewish customs as well as any person who deviated from Catholic Christian laws. [4] pages, 31 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains (some dark), creases, minor tears. Professionally restored tears in the connection between pages. Placed in a handsome cardboard binder.

A large sheet with three decrees by Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga and Duchess Margherita Paleologo Gonzaga, rulers of the Duchy of Mantua. Manuscript on parchment. Mantua, dated October 28, 1540. Latin and Italian.
The first decree refers to the rights and obligations of Jews residing in all areas of the Duchy of Mantua. The preface, in Latin, discusses the tolerance shown by the authorities of Mantua towards their Jewish citizens, and the permit they have been granted to congregate in synagogues and practice their religious ceremonies, rituals and prayers. The main portion of the decree refers to the permit granted to Jews to trade in second-hand textiles and fabrics, and to the limitations and taxes on trading in new textiles. The text also mentions the restriction on Jews employing Christian workers and servants in return for room and board, especially women (except for cases of support for new mothers), and the permit to employ male servants during the daytime, without room and board.
The second decree relates to the obligation of Jews to wear a yellow patch, with details regarding the required shape of the patch and how to sew it onto clothing.
The third decree refers to the ban on Jews doing business with Christians on Christian holidays.
Each decree also details the fines to be paid if the decree is violated.
The last part of the document cites the ban on the abuse of Jews, including offences such as murder, theft, adultery, rape or any other crime.
Signatures of the duchy's secretary and counsel, and others, appear at the bottom of the sheet. 66x52cm. Good-medium condition. A number of stains and tears, some restored, and some of which affect the text. Folded.
