The Information of Francisco de Faria: Delivered at the Bar of the House of Commons, November 1, 1680

This pamphlet, published in London in November 1680, recounts the testimony of Francisco de Faria before the House of Commons. De Faria, born in Pernambuco, Brazil, to Jewish parents in 1653, details his involvement in events related to the Popish Plot. The pamphlet is part of a larger collection of materials related to de Faria and the Popish Plot. This specific pamphlet is a duplicate of another item in the collection (13-907), with slight variations in size. The collection also includes two additional pamphlets related to De Faria. The information provided by De Faria, who served as an interpreter and secretary for the Portuguese ambassador, contributed to the narrative of the Popish Plot, a supposed conspiracy by Catholics to overthrow the English government. The collection includes an article by Lee M. Friedman on Francisco de Faria published in the American Jewish Historical Society Journal (No. 20, 1911) (13-1001).
