Excerpt from Crypto-Jews in the Canaries: A Paper Read Before the Jewish Historical Society of England Some twenty years ago, while investigating the circumstances of the re-settlement of the Jews in this country under the Protectorate, I was struck by the curious fact that that chief figure in that movement, Antonio Fernandez Carvajal, and several of his fellow adventurers, hailed from a little archipelago in the East Atlantic, which had never before figured in Jewish history, and which, so far as I know, has not even yet found a place in that record. Carvajal had considerable property in the Canaries, and seems to have spent his early life at Santa Cruz. Duarte Henriques Alvares had been Royal Treasurer in the islands, and his nephew, Antonio Rodrigues Robles, whose sensational denunciation as a Spaniard on the outbreak of the Spanish war in 1656 first revealed the existence of the London Marrano community, and successfully established its rights of residence, had been his Deputy-Treasurer. There was also reason to believe that Carvajal's brother-in-law, Simon de Souza, and other relatives and co-religionists of his who had joined him in England, notably Domingo de la Cerda and Antonio de Porto, were Canariote immigrants. With a view to throwing further light on the personal histories of these men, and on the circumstances which determined their eventful migration, I planned a visit to Teneriffe in the autumn of 1894. By a fortunate accident I confided my project to the late Marquis of Bate, and was thus spared a bootless journey. Some years earlier Lord Bute had acquired the larger part of the original records of the Canariote Inquisition, of which a general calendar, dealing chiefly with Protestant and sorcery cases, has since been printed under the editorship of Dr. de Gray Birch. These valuable documents he was good enough to place at my disposal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
