Gabriel Cortés was eleven, and his father sent him to buy oil at Moixina's shop. One day Moixina asked him what his father had eaten.

On fast days the mistress sat at the table and pretended to eat. The maid watched her and counted the mouthfuls she never took.

The wife said her husband was not home. But his cloak and hat lay on the chair by the stairs. The spy wrote it down in his «Paper No. 4».

Moixina visited a dying neighbor for several days and spoke to him of the God of Israel. He probably did not know the man had informed on him.

Gabriel Cortés wrote to his wife and son every week. The letters left the prison hidden in the clothes sent out to be washed.

Moixina wrote Margarita Ana Piña a letter proposing marriage, argued with Bible verses. Her answer had nothing to do with faith.

Guillem was fourteen and Joanot twelve. Their father taught them to worship the God who created heaven and earth, and to tell no one.

In June 1687 the silversmiths ran bulls in their street for Saint Eligius. Onofre Cortés asked Francisca Forteza two or three times to come and watch.

Moixina and Bartolomé Cortés told each other they were observant while walking by the sea toward Portopí. There were no walls there to listen.

For the second auto-da-fé a pyre was built between the Lazaretto and Bellver Castle. On it stood twenty-five stakes, each with a small seat.

They were children of Rafael José Tarongí and Francisca Tarongí. Six appeared at the auto-da-fé of 6 May. No two met the same fate.

While the pig was being slaughtered at her home, Ana Cortés leaned toward a relative and whispered that «the master wanted it, and one had to be patient».

Francisca Martí was cooking on Friday night. Asked when it was for, she answered: for Saturday, «so as not to eat anything cooked» that day.

On Holy Wednesday or Thursday 1687, someone remarked in front of Violante Forteza that «that would be the day of the fast of the Jews' Passover».

Onofre Cortés de Agustín confessed to everything the witnesses said. Later he explained why: he could not get the coming torture out of his head.

On the cover of his trial file, in the margin, someone wrote one word: «Minor». Joanot Cortés was under twenty-five, the age of majority at the time.

The vote that sentenced Moixina to death has an exact address: the Secret Chamber, book of Final Votes, folio 264 verso. At the foot of the page, the copyist's errata list.

On the eve of every inspection by the inquisitors, the warden warned the prisoners to hide their inkwell, pens, paper and books under their clothes.

On a street where half the neighbors were called Cortés, Martí or Tarongí, the nickname was the real name. The files preserve dozens of them.

Very early in the morning, Gabriel Cortés would stand at a window of his house, read from a small book and raise his eyes to heaven. For a whole hour.

«Don't be alarmed, this law will pass», Moixina said. Apollo's had lasted eighteen hundred years, and the Christian one had not yet reached seventeen hundred.

One day, wearing the penitent's habit, Moixina was alone on the quay in Palma. He was grieving, he later said, «begging God for mercy».

Before the seizure came, one relative handed three hundred pounds in gold, silver and jewels to a younger one to hide. He never got them back.

Gabriel wanted to marry Margarita Martí. His father refused: she was «of the lesser flock». They argued, and the father laid hands on him.

When her mother, Catalina Valls, died, a fast was kept for her according to the Law of Moses. And her daughter Úrsula, unmarried, began keeping that Law from then on.
