Inês de Caminha was ten years old when, on October 3, 1588, she was arrested by the Tribunal del Santo Oficio accused of practicing Judaism, heresy and apostasy. Its process, recorded in the Torre do Tombo Archive, available in digital format, is composed of two hundred and six pages that detail information about people who make up both its network of social relationships and Jewish practices, manifested in prayers, songs, gestures, ayuns , nutrition, among others, as well as their forms of resistance, expressed in observing the precepts of their religion and safeguarding their lives, when they fail to achieve another possibility.
