Description
- Abstract:
- Punishments of more than 8,000 people sentenced by the Portuguese Inquisition from 1636 to 1778 are analyzed. Incarceration was by far the most common punishment, accounting for more than two thirds of all sentences. Around six percent of those sentenced were executed. Exile and the galleys were common punishments that met the State's needs, as well as those of the inquisitors. Religious figures received systematically different punishments for the same "defects" of sodomy and apostasy. New Christian punishments differed from those given to Old Christians; New Christians were more likely to die and be imprisoned, whereas Old Christians were exiled, whipped and sent to the galleys more frequently.
- São analisadas as punições recebidas por mais de 8.000 pessoas condenadas pela Inquisição Portuguesa entre 1636 e 1778. O encarceramento era, de longe, a punição mais comum, representando mais de dois terços de todas as sentenças. Cerca de seis por cento dos condenados foram executados. O exílio e as galés eram castigos comuns que asseguravam as necessidades do Estado, bem como as dos inquisidores. Figuras religiosas receberam punições sistematicamente diferentes para os mesmos "defeitos" de sodomia e apostasia. As punições aos cristãos-novos eram diferentes das que os cristãos-velhos recebiam; os cristãos-novos eram geralmente condenados à morte ou presos, enquanto os cristãos-velhos eram mais frequentemente exilados, açoitados e enviados para as galés.
