About Bento da Costa
Note, Bento was not a devout catholic, as debunked in "In the Shadow of History: Jews and Conversos at the Dawn of Modernity" and as evidenced by his offspring all moving to Hamburg and Amsterdam to practice Judaism (which obviously cannot be attributed to a fluke)..
Bento da Costa, Gabriel (Uriel)'s father was a devout Catholic of Jewish origin, his wife was a descended from Jews who had practiced a variant form of Judaism. The family lived in a large home in the best part of the city with servants always at the command. The children were well-educated and Gabriel himself went on to study canon law at the University of Coimbra.
Bento da Costa died and was buried in his hometown Porto, Portugal before 1616.
Bento da Costa was een devoot Katholiek. Van beroep was hij wijnhandelaar. Tussen 1612 en 1615 week de familie uit naar Nederland. - In Portugal was de famile van origine Joods, doch ze waren Katholiek geworden (z. g. marrano's). Voo"ral onder invloed van Branca Dinis, was er bij de kinderen de behoefte om weer Joods te worden. Bento da Costa Brandao had een hoge Katholieke onderscheiding ontvangen.
