Description
An account of the resource
Letter from two slaves in Tunis, Pauolo Cortarzo and Gio' Tomaso Cocchi (both from Rome), which states that some Turks (who are slaves in the domain of the pope in Malta) have written to Tunis that they have been forced to covert to Christianity. Now the authorities in Tunis threaten to treat the Christian slaves similarly, by forcing them to convert to Islam, which would cause a great loss of souls. They therefore ask for a remedy. The notes on the back of the document mention that the vicar apostolic [Jean Le Vacher] writes that the accusations are based on the actions of the Inquisitor of Malta, who organizes Christian sermons among the Muslims every Sunday, and sends them only Christian assistance in case of illness. The letter was discussed by PF on 25 September 1659.
