By Gabriel Dellon and Archibald Bower

Book Overview

Dellon's Account of the Inquisition at Goa is a historical book written by Gabriel Dellon, a French physician who was imprisoned by the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa, India, in the late 17th century. The book provides a detailed and vivid description of the inhumane treatment of prisoners and the cruel practices of the Inquisition during that time. Dellon's account is based on his personal experience as a prisoner, making it a first-hand account of the atrocities committed by the Inquisition. The book is divided into several chapters, each one describing a different aspect of the Inquisition, such as the torture methods used, the trials and executions, and the role of the Inquisition in the Portuguese colonial empire. It also includes a description of Dellon's own trial and eventual release from prison. Overall, Dellon's Account of the Inquisition at Goa is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a dark period in India's colonial history.Partial Contents: The Chinese; Hindoos; Letters Of King George I; Shanscrit School; Ceylonese; Malays; Syrian Christians; Syriac Bible; Romish Christians in India; Inquisition At Goa; Persians; Arabians; Jews In Asia; Armenians; List Of Works On The Civilization Of The East.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
