About the Book
This book presents a dispassionate and detailed account of the Goa Inquisition, established in 1560 and abolished in 1812. J.C. Barreto Miranda explores the tribunal’s cruelties and excesses, highlighting how its power extended across Portuguese possessions in the East. Originally targeting Jewish converts, it later oppressed native converts to Christianity, many of whom were coerced or lured by rewards.
Based on official archival documents, Jesuit correspondence, and European travel accounts, the work provides a comprehensive historical analysis of Portuguese religious policy in India. The book also includes Dr. Dellon’s firsthand account of his three-year imprisonment, offering a vivid narrative of life under the Inquisition. A crucial resource for readers interested in colonial history, religious policy, and the history of Goa.
