- LEÃO (Pereira), GASPAR DE° (d. 1576), Portuguese archbishop,
born in Lagos, Portugal. In 1560 he was named prelate of goa and
installed as its first inquisitor general. In his first
auto-da-fé , held on Sept. 27, 1563, two of the four victims
were Portuguese Judaizers. He was also active in compelling
marranos to return to Lisbon. Given to polemics, Leão denounced
talmudic law in an open letter to the Jews, Carta do primeiro
Arcebispo de Goa, ao Povo de Israel, seguidor ainda da ley de Moyses e
do Talmud, por engano e malicia dos seus Rabbis (1565). About 1569
he resigned and went into retreat in the neighboring convent of Daugim;
however, he returned to his posts in 1574, serving until his death.
