讲述了葡萄牙匡威的历史，他们在16世纪初定居巴西，1497年被迫在葡萄牙皈依。他们中的大多数人继续在巴西秘密维持犹太习俗，就像在葡萄牙一样。第2章（第12-42页）描述了1591-1618年间，由于1580年葡萄牙和西班牙统一后这些活动的加剧，宗教裁判所在巴西的活动。宗教裁判所从未在巴西正式引入，但大约1580年，巴伊亚主教获得了宗教裁判权，允许他准备针对异端的司法程序，并将违法者移交给里斯本的宗教裁判所法庭。第143-167页描述了1654-1822年间，巴西从葡萄牙独立之前，Conversos遭受的迫害案例。（从VIDAL-SASHON国际反犹太主义研究中心书目——耶路撒冷希伯来大学）
Jews in Colonial Brazil
Relates the history of Portuguese Conversos who settled in Brazil at the beginning of the 16th century, after they had been forced to convert in Portugal in 1497. States that most of them continued to maintain Jewish customs secretly in Brazil, as they had in Portugal. Ch. 2 (pp. 12-42) describe the activities of the Inquisition in Brazil between 1591-1618, due to the intensification of these activities after the unification of Portugal and Spain in 1580. The Inquisition was never formally introduced in Brazil, but about 1580 the Bishop of Bahia acquired Inquisitorial authority which permitted him to prepare judicial proceedings against heretics and to hand over violators of the law to the court of the Inquisition in Lisbon. Pp. 143-167 describe cases of persecution endured by specific Conversos between 1654-1822, until Brazil’s independence from Portugal.
