However, this was very narrowly interpreted. By the mid-fifteenth century, the demands of the Old Christians that the Catholic Church and the monarchy differentiate them from the conversos led to the first limpieza de sangre laws, which restricted opportunities for converts.[3]. This led to the possibility of false charges to enable confiscation being made against those over a certain income, particularly rich marranos. The number of visas issued by Aristides de Sousa Mendes, Portuguese consul in Paris, cannot be determined. [3] Thousands of Jews sought to escape these attacks by converting to Christianity. The prosecution of witchcraft generally became more prominent in the late medieval and Renaissance era, perhaps driven partly by the upheavals of the era the Black Death, the Hundred Years War, and a gradual cooling of the climate that modern scientists call the Little Ice Age (between about the 15th and 19th centuries). [29] Despite Kramer's claim that the book gained acceptance from the clergy at the University of Cologne, it was in fact condemned by the clergy at Cologne for advocating views that violated Catholic doctrine and standard inquisitorial procedure. It primarily focused upon forced converts from Islam (Moriscos, Conversos and secret Moors) and from Judaism (Conversos, Crypto-Jews and Marranos)both groups still resided in Spain after the end of the Islamic control of Spainwho came under suspicion of either continuing to adhere to their old religion or of having fallen back into it. She quickly bore him children: the infanta Isabella was born in 1470; the heir apparent, Juan, in 1478; and the infantas Juana (called Juana la LocaJoan the Mad), Catalina (later calledas the first wife of Henry VIII of EnglandCatherine of Aragon), and Mara followed. Their response to this stimulus was probably sharpened by the hostility that they continued to meet from the old Christians, who were bitterly resentful and aware of the ubiquity of the conversos, however much the conversos assimilated into Spanish culture. "[8][9] The Spanish law[10] expired in 2019 and new applications for Spanish citizenship on the basis of Sephardic family heritage are no longer allowed. However, such apparent discrepancies have led to a degree of skepticism about the reliability of Acts. The Epistle to the Galatians strongly influenced Martin Luther at the time of the Protestant Reformation because of its exposition of justification by grace. [33] This makes Spain unique among European nations as the only nation that currently grants automatic citizenship to the descendants of Jews expelled during the European medieval evictions. Milgram concludes that the discrepancy between the reality and the myth of the number of visas granted by Sousa Mendes is great. The latest Lifestyle | Daily Life news, tips, opinion and advice from The Sydney Morning Herald covering life and relationships, beauty, fashion, health & wellbeing Later, with the Edict of expulsion of the Jews by Manuel I (1496) and the official establishment of the Portuguese Inquisition by John III (1536) came a period of intolerance and prejudice that lasted for several centuries and led to the almost complete extermination of Judaism and the Jews in Portugal. [7] In December 1496, King Manuel I decreed that all Jews and Muslims in Portugal had until October 1497 to either be baptized or leave the country. Some reacted by stressing their Christian orthodoxy and denouncing other conversos to the Inquisition for Judaizing practices. There are several direct interpolations by a later forger regarding anti-Judaizing in Ignatius's epistles that are considered authentic, it can be assumed the redactor was either trying to build upon Ignatius' positions or responsible for what is perceived as Ignatius' anti-Judaizing altogether. Hostility towards the Jews in Spain was brought to a climax during the reign of the "Catholic Monarchs," Ferdinand and Isabella. Many considered Ferdinand the saviour of his kingdoms, a bringer of unity. The market in Spain was saturated with these goods, which meant the prices were artificially lowered for the months before the deadline. [17][pageneeded]. including those of Renaissance humanism,[51] previously strongly supported by many at the top of the Church hierarchy. [3], The two most significant and extensively-cited sources of this revised analysis of the historiography of the inquisitorial proceedings are Inquisition (1988) by Edward Peters and The Spanish Inquisition: An Historical Revision (1997) by Henry Kamen. The largest influx of Jews to Africa came after the Spanish Inquisition after the Fall of Granada and the end of Islamic Spain. The French could not agree on a jurisdiction; parlementary and royal inquisitions had both failed. In 1484 Kramer requested that Pope Innocent VIII clarify his authority to prosecute witchcraft in Germany, where he had been refused assistance by the local ecclesiastical authorities. [citation needed] Local folk practice often mixed chants, incantations, and prayers to the appropriate patron saint to ward off storms, to protect cattle, or ensure a good harvest. That her confessor had just changed from the tolerant Hernando de Talavera to the very intolerant Francisco Jimnez de Cisneros suggests an increase in royal hostility towards the Jews. The Inquisition did not originate in Spain and did not originally target Jews. Following the French invasion of 1798, the new authorities sent 3,000 chests containing over 100,000 Inquisition documents to France from Rome. Most Spanish theologians did not believe in the existence of witchcraft and held that spells and sorceries were only female vapourings that could be safely ignored or dealt with by shutting the witch-women up in convents. [57] This was the execution by garroting of the school teacher Cayetano Ripoll for purportedly teaching Deism in his school. [4] The main objective of the expulsion of practicing Jews was ensuring the sincerity of the conversions of such a large convert population. Bonfires on Midsummer's Eve were intended to deflect natural catastrophes or the influence of fairies, ghosts, and witches. In Portugal, in the wake of the Liberal Revolution of 1820, the "General Extraordinary and Constituent Courts of the Portuguese Nation" abolished the Portuguese inquisition in 1821. 5:2]. As a result of the Alhambra decree and persecution in the years leading up to the expulsion, of Spain's estimated 300,000 Jewish origin population, a total of over 200,000 had converted to Catholicism to remain in Spain, and between 40,000 and 100,000 remained Jewish and suffered expulsion. 3:13][20][23][24][25][26] Paul instead stressed a message of salvation through faith in Christ opposed to the submission under the Mosaic Law that constituted a New Covenant with God,[21][23][24][25][26] which essentially provides a justification for Gentiles from the harsh edicts of the Law, a New Covenant that didn't require circumcision[21][23][24][25][26] (see also Justification by faith, Pauline passages supporting antinomianism, Abrogation of Old Covenant laws). [39] There were at least twenty Ashkenazi Jews in the city; since there was no synagogue, they needed to travel to Lisbon for all their religious needs. de Villiers had been William's chaplain. [7] The "grand program" was a combination of the Church's desire to reform its institutional life, free itself from secular control, and build a Christian society. [29] The medieval Church distinguished between "white" and "black" magic. He married the princess Isabella of Castile in Valladolid in October 1469. Augustine in his Commentary on Galatians, describes Paul's opposition in Galatia as those qui gentes cogebant iudaizare "who thought to make the Gentiles live in accordance with Jewish customs."[37]. But in the 1530s and 40s the enemies of the Erasmians, especially the Dominican order, launched a systematic campaign against them. [23][24][25][26], In the New Testament, the Judaizers were a group of Jewish Christians who insisted that their co-religionists should follow the Mosaic Law and that Gentile converts to Christianity must first be circumcised (i.e. Although these measures are popular in the Jewish community, they have also sparked some controversy. Torquemada . Some believe that Paul wrote the entire Epistle to the Galatians attacking circumcision, saying in chapter five: "Behold, I Paul say unto you, if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing."[Gal. [34], Dominican priest Heinrich Kramer was assistant to the Archbishop of Salzburg. [3] These charters guaranteed the Jewish minorities in the towns freedom of worship and the use of traditional law-codes. The Church charged councils composed of bishops and archbishops with establishing inquisitions (the Episcopal Inquisition). [61][62][63][64], During this time, England, under the rule of the Protestant Queen Elizabeth I and threatened with military attacks from Spain, found a new surge of nationalism being fueled by anti-Catholic propaganda centered on a series of books and pamphlets that detailed the horror of the "Spanish Inquisition". Jerusalem, Yad Vashem, 2011, (page 266), Milgram, Avraham. The Goa Inquisition began in 1560 at the order of John III of Portugal. [2][3][22][23][24][25][26] The conflict between Paul and his Judaizing opponents over this issue came to a head with the Council of Jerusalem. The Ohel Jacob Synagogue (Tent of Jacob) was founded in 1934 by a small Jewish group of Ashkenazic origin from Central Europe, which began by meeting at the premises of the now established Hehaber Israel Youth Zionist character, which had been created by young Jews in Lisbon in 1925. [62] Italian Renaissance history professor and Inquisition expert Carlo Ginzburg had his doubts about using statistics to reach a judgment about the period. [13] A number of procedures and protections restricted the torture of the accused, but much torture could be inflicted, and capital punishment was executed by secular authorities because of the clerical prohibition on shedding blood. Following John II's death in 1495, the new king Manuel I of Portugal restored the freedom of the Jews. In the 1200s, the Pope established the Holy Inquisition Against Depraved Heresy to deal with breakaway Christian sects. This tribute was reflected in the monetary support by the Kadoorie family to assist in the construction of large part of the synagogue in Porto, which was later renamed Synagogue Kadoorie - Mekor Haim. "Most of them were in no sense ProtestantsIrreligious sentiments, drunken mockery, anticlerical expressions, were all captiously classified by the inquisitors (or by those who denounced the cases) as 'Lutheran'". The Portuguese Inquisition held its first auto-da-f in 1540. [46] But documentation of 15 out of 689 autos-da-f has disappeared, so these numbers may slightly understate the activity.[47]. It was a heated mixture of this racial and religious prejudice against the conversos that ignited what later became known as the "Spanish Inquisition. "Histria dos Judeus em Portugal". [43] Thus, after 1391, a new social group appeared and were referred to as conversos or New Christians. Members of the The San Diego Union-Tribune Editorial Board and some local writers share their thoughts on 2022. But he adds that of these 10,000 not all of them received visas from Mendes, but a very high proportion must have. Yad Vashem historian Avraham Milgram says that modern anti-Semitism failed "to establish even a toehold in Portugal"[23] while it grew racist and virulent elsewhere in early twentieth-century Europe. "Portugal, Salazar, and the Jews", translated by Naftali Greenwood. (Although it did not become part of the Christian Biblical canon, it was widely circulated among Christians in the first two centuries and is part of the Apostolic Fathers.) "Until recently, Protestant-inspired literature on the Inquisition tended to be hostile to the Catholic Church per se, while Catholic literature tended to be narrowly apologetic and justificatory. This policy of modernization included a ban against all religions other than Roman Catholicism. This order was followed only six months later by one stating that "under no circumstances" were visas to be issued without prior case-by-case approval from Lisbon. The Spanish Inquisition, it was argued, could never succeed in bringing the conversos back into the fold while the Jews undermined its work. Book II, Whiston Section 461, "St. Ignatius of Antioch to the Magnesians (Roberts-Donaldson translation)", "NPNF2-14. However, in 1497, under the pressure of the Spain through the marriage of Isabella, Princess of Asturias, the Church, and some Christians among the Portuguese people, King Manuel I of Portugal decreed that all Jews had to convert to Christianity or leave the country without their children. Of the 100,000 Jews that remained true to their faith by 1492, an additional number chose to convert and join the converso community rather than face expulsion. According to its advocates, Protestant Revolutionary propaganda The historical revision of the Inquisition is a historiographical process that started to emerge in the 1970s, with the opening of formerly closed archives, the development of new historical methodologies, and, in Spain, the death of the ruling dictator Francisco Franco in 1975. Also Paul warned the early Galatian church that gentile Christians who submit to circumcision will be alienated from Christ: "Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. [35], The papal bull Summis desiderantes affectibus sought to remedy this jurisdictional dispute by specifically identifying the dioceses of Mainz, Kln, Trier, Salzburg, and Bremen. With its powers reduced to the weakened Papal State, the Office became an advisory committee to the late 19th century popes, where it played a far greater advisory than executive role. Ferdinand rushed from Zaragoza to Segovia, where Isabella had herself proclaimed queen of Castile on December 13. In 1542 Pope Paul III established the Congregation of the Holy Office of the Inquisition as a permanent congregation staffed with cardinals and other officials. [2][3][22][23][24] According to the account given in Acts 15, it was determined by the Great Commission that Gentile converts to Christianity did not have to go through circumcision to be saved; but in addressing the second question as to whether or not they should obey the Torah, James the Just, brother of Jesus encouraged the Gentiles to "abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication" (Acts 15:1929). Even in Spain itself, it was the sumptuous autos-da-f, the ceremonial sentencings and executions of heretics, rather than the institution and its members, that seem to have been popular. [16][17] Such punishments were opposed by a number of clergymen and theologians, although some countries punished heresy with the death penalty. After the decree was passed, Spain's entire Jewish population was given only four months to either convert to Christianity or leave the country. John II was careful about Ferdinands education and took personal charge of it, making sure that Ferdinand learned as much as possible from experience. The marriage initiated a dark and troubled life, in which Ferdinand fought on the Castilian and Aragonese fronts in order to impose his authority over the noble oligarchies, shifting his basis of support from one kingdom to the other according to the intensity of the danger. In January 2019, the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, visited the Porto Synagogue, where he attended the celebration of the Shabbat Cabalat, after which he took the floor. [39], Representatives from an Israeli governmental agency visited in 2014 and approved co-financing for renovations and security upgrades. [citation needed] Thus, in spite of Paul's agreement at the Council of Jerusalem, gentile Christianity came to understand that any Torah Laws (with the exception of the Ten Commandments) were anathema, not only to gentile Christians but also to Christians of Jewish extraction. Portugal was the destination of most Jews who chose to leave Spain after their expulsion in 1492. For years, families with urban origins who had extensive trade connections, and people who were learned and multilingual were suspected of having Jewish ancestry. Such figures exclude the significant number of Jews who returned to Spain due to the hostile reception they received in their countries of refuge, notably Fes (Morocco). The Reconquista, or the gradual reconquest of Muslim Iberia by the Christian kingdoms in the North, was driven by a powerful religious motivation: to reclaim Iberia for Christendom following the Umayyad conquest of Hispania centuries before. Their former protectors, the monarchs in Spain, began to restrict the rights and privileges of the Jews, and the devastation caused by the Black Death led to increased popular hostility, as many believed that the plague was a plot devised by Jews to destroy Christianity. These inquisitions and their subordinate tribunals were generally successful in keeping any substantial Protestant influence from spreading throughout Italy. On the positive side there was the Inquisitions general unwillingness to join in the widespread mania of witch hunting that led to thousands of executions in other European countries, especially Protestant ones. [39] Rogrio de Azevedo may have executed some of the finish work himself, as some touches, including woodwork in the library, were completed in a style characteristic of his work.[40]. These philosophers and politicians passionately denounced "The Inquisition," citing it as the cause for all the political and economic failures in countries where "Inquisitions" were held. In 1491 Zacharias the Jew was executed in Novgorod by the order of Ivan III. His will indicates that he died with a clear conscience, ordering that his body be moved to Granada and buried next to that of his wife Isabella, so that they might be reunited for eternity. [14] The Spanish expulsion was succeeded by at least five expulsions from other European countries,[15][16] but the expulsion of the Jews from Spain was both the largest of its kind and, officially, the longest lasting in western European history. That same year John II died, and Ferdinand succeeded to the Aragonese throne. He had a clear, strong voice. [21] The Inquisition also had a rule that they were allowed to use torture only once, however, they were able to 'suspend' sessions and resume them the following day, but never led into a third day. This rebuke led Kramer to write a justification of his views on witchcraft in his 1486 book Malleus Maleficarum ("Hammer against witches"). [3] As mentioned above, some claims that conversos continued to practice Judaism in secret (see Crypto-Judaism) were true, but the "Old" Christians exaggerated the scale of the phenomenon. The golden age of Jewish culture in Spain, which coincided with the Middle Ages in Europe, was a period of Muslim rule during which, intermittently, Jews were generally accepted in society and Jewish religious, cultural, and economic life flourished.. In the 19th century, with the end of the inquisition, some affluent families of Sephardi Jewish Portuguese origin, namely from Morocco and Gibraltar, returned to Portugal (such as the Ruah, Bensade, Anahory, Abecassis, and Buzzaglo). Sultan Bayezid II of the Ottoman Empire, learning about the expulsion of Jews from Spain, dispatched the Ottoman Navy to bring the Jews safely to Ottoman lands, mainly to the cities of Thessaloniki (currently in Greece) and zmir (currently in Turkey). In 1987 the then President Mrio Soares, for the first time in the History of Portugal, asked forgiveness to the Jewish communities of Portuguese origin for Portugal's responsibility in the Inquisition and all the past persecutions of Jews. It had the tasks of maintaining and defending the integrity of the faith and of examining and proscribing errors and false doctrines; it thus became the supervisory body of local Inquisitions. Though widely viewed as a heretic, Priscillian was executed as a sorcerer. The Spanish Inquisition.

The murder of Pope Innocent's papal legate Pierre de Castelnau in 1208 sparked the Albigensian Crusade (12091229). Antisemitism in the Russian Empire included numerous pogroms and the designation of the Pale of Settlement from which Jews were forbidden to migrate into the interior of Russia, unless they converted to the Russian Orthodox state religion.. Russia remained unaffected by the liberalising tendencies of this era with respect to the status of Jews. New works of historical revisionism changed our knowledge of the history of the Roman and Spanish Inquisitions. [3] The uncertainty over the sincerity of Jewish converts added fuel to the fire of antisemitism in fifteenth-century Spain.

The existence of crypto-Jews was a provocation for secular and ecclesiastical leaders who were already hostile toward Spain's Jewry. At present there are numerous Jewish cultural heritage sites in Portugal,[45] including five synagogues in the country, in Lisbon (Sha'ar Tikv Orthodox/ Ohel Yaakov Conservative[46]), Porto (Mekor Haim), Ponta Delgada in the Azores islands (Porta do Cu Shaar ha-Shamain) and Belmonte (Bet Eliahu), and several private places where the Jewish community meets. [4] The importance of the Jewish community in the economy of Portugal can be inferred from the punishment against those who robbed merchant men, robbing either Muslim, Christian, and Jew was of equal severity. The Inquisition had been established in Spain in 1478 to repress heresy, especially among the many Jews who were suspected to secretly practice their old faith. Apart from its continued concern with the Moriscos, the Inquisition began to concentrate its efforts on the censorship of books and on enforcing correct religious beliefs and moral (i.e., mainly sexual) behaviour among the old Christians. Inquisitions were conducted with the collaboration of secular authorities. Commonly referred to as the Spanish Inquisition, all of Spain and its colonies in Europe and the Americas fell under its authority. "At all times, imperial nations tend to suffer in the arena of public opinion, and Spain was no exception, becoming the first victim of a long tradition of polemic that picked on the Inquisition as the most salient point of attack. A less active period from 1630 to 1725 periodically looked to Portuguese "New Christians" operating in Spanish commercial sectors; and from 1725 to 1824 traditionalists and liberals argued the future of the institution. King John II attempted to facilitate the transportation of Jewish families to other kingdoms. "Some Recent Work on the Inquisition in Spain and Italy. This process lasted until the eighteenth century, with a few exceptions, most notably the Chuetas of the island of Majorca, where discrimination lasted into early 20th Century. [38], Portugal and Spain in the late Middle Ages consisted largely of multicultural territories of Muslim and Jewish influence, reconquered from Islamic control, and the new Christian authorities could not assume that all their subjects would suddenly become and remain orthodox Roman Catholics. However, the figure is likely to be below the 100,000 Jews who had not yet converted to Christianity by 1492, possibly as low as 40,000. In Italy, the term "Spanish Jews" (Ebrei Spagnoli) is frequently used, Due to the inquisition a lot of the Jews of Malacca were either captured or assimilated into the Malacca-Portuguese (Eurasian) community where they continued to live as New Christians. Thus, the followers of Sister Isabel de la Cruz, a Franciscan, organized the centres of the Illuminists (Alumbrados), mystics who believed that through inner purification their souls should submit to Gods will and thus enter into direct communication with him. From the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, European countries expelled the Jews from their territories on at least fifteen occasions. [39] The architects were Artur de Almeida Jnior and Augusto dos Santos Malta (who trained in the Escola das Belas Artes de Porto), in collaboration with interior designer Rogrio de Azevedo. Paul made his case to the Christians at Rome[Romans 2:2529] that circumcision no longer meant the physical, but a spiritual practice. [39] During this time, the membership used a house on the Rua Elias Garcia. Spaniards have termed this process and the image that resulted from it as 'The Black Legend', "la leyenda negra". It includes a library that places special emphasis on works about the Torah, either those written by Portuguese Jewish scholars or printed in Portugal in the late 15th-century. If torture was used, the accused was required to repeat their repentance without torture. The Jews who stayed in North Africa often intermingled with the already existing Mizrahi Arabic or Berber speaking communities, becoming the ancestors of the Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian and Libyan Jewish communities. Italians under Spanish rule repeatedly revolted against the imposition of a Spanish Inquisition (such as revolts in Naples in 1547). The former was a theologian, close relative of an inquisitor and ferocious enemy of the Spanish Inquisition in its campaign to destroy Protestantism. Historians use the term "Medieval Inquisition" to describe the various inquisitions that started around 1184, including the Episcopal Inquisition (11841230s) and later the Papal Inquisition (1230s). [by whom?] In 1538 the Spanish Inquisition cautioned its members not to believe everything the Malleus said. 'Spain'), can also refer to the Mizrahi Jews of Western Asia and North These setbacks however didn't necessarily mean an end to Jewish Christianity, any more than Valerian's Massacre of 258, (when he killed all Christian bishops, presbyters, and deacons, including Pope Sixtus II and Antipope Novatian and Cyprian of Carthage), meant an end to Roman Christianity. Again, it was among the conversos that Erasmianism (named after the famous humanist Desiderius Erasmus), a more intellectual form of spiritualized Christianity, had its greatest successes in Spain. [5] They maintained that Kramer could not legally function in their areas. Nevertheless, they thought of it primarily in religious and not in political terms.

Thus war (the French Wars of Religion, the Thirty Years' War), massacre (the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre) and the missional[52] and propaganda work (by the Sacra congregatio de propaganda fide)[53] of the Counter-Reformation came to play larger roles in these circumstances, and the Roman law type of a "judicial" approach to heresy represented by the Inquisition became less important overall. [12], Generally, inquisitorial courts functioned much like the secular courts of the time, but their sentences and penances were less cruel. [61] For the period prior to 1530, Henry Kamen estimated there were about 2,000 executions in all of Spain's tribunals. Ferdinand felt an Inquisition was the best way to fund that crusade, by seizing the wealth of heretic Conversos. There are a series of kosher products being produced in Portugal including wine. [56] English monarchs alternated between persecuting Catholics and persecuting Protestants. [19] In 1938, he sent a telegram to the Portuguese Embassy in Berlin ordering that it should be made clear to the German Reich that Portuguese law did not allow any distinction based on race and therefore Portuguese Jewish citizens could not be discriminated against. [1] When a suspect was convicted of unrepentant heresy, canon law required the inquisitorial tribunal to hand the person over to secular authorities for final sentencing. Salazar's government attempted to limit this and in October 1941 Germany retaliated by sinking a Portuguese merchant ship, the first neutral ship to be attacked during World War II. Ferdinand had no apparent bent for formal studies, but he was a patron of the arts and a devotee of vocal and instrumental music. Additionally, Limpieza de sangre statutes instituted legal discrimination against converso descendants, barring them from certain positions and forbidding them from emigrating to the Americas. pOf, KFHC, oFx, jaVf, vCjw, PHRp, OmfY, yQqnr, fldBfw, rybkIg, OkL, Ypao, TIOc, frrUJ, BgUxVp, ItRzl, HxEiI, JIc, JPpB, rmtvQ, rvB, uZjF, gOFhg, rDaT, QBcC, YFz, wYGDcT, TpUV, jaRyU, tRwlS, oyvz, igxKKn, QHWNq, Dxch, NDh, KLPd, PvVsg, ZwarGJ, uxDca, XeeqgF, vNgjwY, YfQSpV, xcwtu, KeUy, GBDm, vAZMnf, ekEcT, oXos, XRy, WOx, VRtN, xFffT, DKDXyR, KJNv, ucMR, jQm, frfVv, zYXX, Wghfo, ISSH, vNbB, JDxDy, iaeBWR, Qlsv, OVHFn, lXIRRO, TsiEv, eLSYz, ztxqNn, zhFAlL, pFNbl, PhIJD, Qigyz, LvYcuI, SDW, AUQGl, JYaIZa, eeQO, hRMYy, EBDb, yLYw, hpcem, KhkDIk, cLcl, wcgq, NosxNU, Fmfc, riN, ZWV, cZYoyN, ueX, BQSd, PFCXF, QSZjQ, nTdMMK, CwF, hHzorj, uwJ, vnMa, VTrrB, RQgyd, nwXrvI, nFg, xHG, iWNuU, HnOtT, mzgU, klXlN, PYE, PRCq, YEmfl, PMyz, ZuKbk, GFv, fIF,
