Information on the contents of the fourteen manuscripts of the codex (folder) of Rabbi Jacob Franco Lagarto, discovered in England after being unnoticed for more than 300 years. Lagarto led the Sefardi Congregation / Synagogue in Schkopstaad, today Vila Velha, on the Island of Itamaracá up to the Insurrection of Pernambuco, 1644/45, and the expulsion of the Dutch from Vila Velha in 1646. The congregation left Itamaracá, (probably in 1644), and Moved to Mauritstaad, S. Antonio., I believe this was the Maguen Abraham congregation, and having already almost ten years since its foundation, resisted strongly when the young Rabbi Aboab attempted to subject it to his control from Recife.
