註釋Discusses the life and works of Silva (1701-1739, nicknamed "the Jew"), a prolific and popular Portuguese playwright during the reign of João V. Pp. 37-69 relate his brief and tragic life. He was born in Rio de Janeiro to a Converso family that already had problems with the Inquisition. In 1711 the family immigrated to Portugal. Silva studied law in Coimbra and was involved in a trial for Judaizing held in 1726. Released, but marked as "tainted", his legal career compromised, he began to write successful comedies for the theater. Silva was tried again in 1737, with all of his extended family, and sentenced to death; he died in an auto-da-fé in Lisbon in 1739. Interestingly enough, his theatrical career was not mentioned at all in the trials; the Inquisition apparently acted against him in order to break up two strong Converso clans (his and his wife's) united by marriage bonds.
