Six Auto de fé sermons. Portugal, 1630-1699. Potuguese.
Six Portuguese Auto de fé sermons printed in 1630, 1644, 1663, 1670, 1697 and 1699.
See: "Portuguese Sermons at Autos-da-Fe: Introduction and Bibliography" by Edward Glaser. Within: Studies in Bibliography and Booklore, No. 2. Cincinnati: Library of Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, December 1955. Numbers 23,33,39, 43, 51,53.
In 1497 Jews of Portugal were baptized by coercion and were forced to convert into Christianity. The Portuguese inquisition was founded by order of the Portuguese king and operated between the years 1536 to 1821. The inquisition persecuted Jews and judged converted Jews who continued to observe Jewish customs. The Portuguese inquisition also persecuted those who deviated from strict Catholic laws. The inquisition victims' verdicts were executed in a religious ceremony named Auto de fé ("deed of faith"). The ceremonies were held on Sundays, in churches or in public squares, in the presence of an audience. The ceremonies opened with sermons by senior clergymen who delivered long sermons calling for repentance.
Some of the priests considered it right to preserve the memory of the ceremony through publications of the sermons which they delivered. All of the Auto de fé sermons had a similar structure: they opened with citations from the Holy Scriptures which led to a polemic discussion against the sentenced. The anti-Jewish arguments were supported by scholarly footnotes based on famous anti-Jewish texts and citations from the Talmudic and rabbinical literature and various commentaries and homiletics. Hundreds of Auto de fé ceremonies were held in Portugal during the inquisition period, however only seventy of the sermons were printed. Six booklets. General condition is good. Handwritten inscriptions in one of the booklets.
