Freedom of conscience in the American vicissitudes of a Portuguese crypto-Jew

Authors

Vol. 57 No. 1 (2022)

Abstract

This study considers an inquisitorial process that took place in Cartagena de Indias against Judaizers, mostly of Portuguese origin, on whom biographical light is shed from their statements. The expression freedom of conscience is also manifested in them with a precise social context, with the meaning that it has as one of the fundamental human rights. This, in particular, was born in the Europe of the Reformation, so in Spain it had minimal use, while in America it is repeatedly documented, largely thanks to the arrival of Jews from Holland, also through Dutch commerce, and even as propaganda directed at the Portuguese and Spanish of the New World.

Keywords:

lexical innovation, from Protestant to Judaizer, diatopical aspect, personal onomastics
