[INQUISITION]. [DELLON, CHARLES]. Relation de l'Inquisition de Goa.
Lyon: Jean Viret, 1701. 6 engraved plates, including 3 folding. 8vo, contemporary quarter calf. Vekene 1710 -- [DELLON]. Relation de l'Inquisition de Goa. Paris: Antoine Lambine, 1713. 6 engraved plates, including 3 folding. 8vo, contemporary calf, rebacked. Not in Vekene, not recorded bibliographically.
Two early editions of the famous and accurate account by a victim of the Portuguese Inquisition in Goa. The French physician, Charles Dellon, while on his voyage to India, was suspected by the Portuguese government and tried by the Inquisition. After a long imprisonment he was finally condemned to the galleys for a term of five years. His cause was again brought before the tribunal and Dellon was set free. His observations and experiences have been proven historically accurate. Particularly interesting are his remarks on the fate of the Portuguese New Christians, whose unfair treatment he denounced. The book was placed in the Index on the 29th of May, 1690. The engravings included in this work were the basis of subsequent iconography of the Inquisition, and were used by Picart. See: Charles Amiel & Anne Lima, L'Inquisition de Goa. La relation de Charles Dellon (1687). Paris: Editions Chandeigne, 1997. (2)
