註釋

The early 18th century saw the consolidation of the New Christian community in the region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Conversos had close to a monopoly on the collection of rent from the gold mines, as well as from commerce. They became so powerful that they were perceived as a menace to colonial Portuguese rule, to the economic influence of the Church, and to the Old Christian landlords. They lived between two religious worlds, following Jewish religious customs sometimes even in public. Therefore, it was easy for the Inquisition to accuse them of Judaizing, based on innumerable denunciations by Old Christians. Hundreds of Conversos were imprisoned by representatives of the Inquisition, and were then sent to stand trial in Portugal, where they suffered punishment or death.
