Masmorras da Inquisição

"Fictional biography of a martyr of the Portuguese Inquisition, based on historical facts. Novel is a development of author's Ph.D. dissertation, recreating the atmosphere of the times, with dialogue reflecting the language spoken in the 17th century. Narrative concludes that nothing proved that António José da Silva, a Jew, was a Judaizer"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
