For those of you who read spanish, here is an interesting article analyzing the songs and poems recorded in Leonor de Carvajal's inquisition trial in Mexico. She was the sister of the more famous Luis de Carvajal, they were both murdered at the Auto de fe of 1596 in Mexico city. Interesting to note that many are mixed in both spanish and portuguese. Many of these songs might be originally in portuguese and adapted into spanish by Leonor.Summary:"Among the Inquisition documents recently acquired by the Bancroft Library University of California, Berkeley, is the trial of Leonor de Carvajal, sister ofthe more famous Luis de Carvajal. The songs and poems recorded in Leonor deCarvajal's trial, including a version of the Mosaic Law in verse, proved to bedamning evidence against Leonor and the rest of the family. This study examinesseveral texts, some of which are published here for the first time, taking intoaccount their historical context and underscoring their importance in the CryptoJewish oral tradition.
