EXTRACTOS DOS PROCESSOS PARA FAMILIARES DO SANTO OFÍCIO

Eduardo de Miranda ; Arthur de Tavora

REF.36892

Year 1937

1stEdition

Vila Nova de Famalicão; Grandes Ateliers Gráficos «Minerva»; In-4.º of 765(3) pages; Bound.

An important historical and genealogical reference work devoted to the applications for appointment as familiares (lay associates) of the Portuguese Inquisition. These records are of exceptional value for the study of Portuguese families, since admission to this position required extensive investigations into candidates' ancestry, family connections, reputation and so-called purity of blood.

Eduardo de Miranda and Arthur de Tavora compiled extracts from documents preserved in the Portuguese National Archives at Torre do Tombo, providing information that enables researchers to identify individuals, establish family relationships and investigate geographical origins, marriages and family backgrounds. Beyond its genealogical importance, the work offers valuable evidence concerning Portuguese society under the Ancien Régime, particularly the mechanisms of social distinction and the institutional influence of the Inquisition.

The first and only volume published, representing a particularly useful reference for genealogists, historians and researchers studying the history of the Holy Office.

Copy with a sturdy synthetic binding in good overall condition. Bears a bookplate and an ownership signature.

Coimbra; Imprensa da Universidade; In-8.º of (4), XIX(1), 559(1) pages; Bound.

An important work of Portuguese travel and pilgrimage literature, originally published in Lisbon in 1593, representing one of the most significant Portuguese accounts of the Holy Land during the sixteenth century.

This carefully prepared re-edition, published in the series «Biblioteca de Escritores Portugueses», Series D, reproduces the text of the first edition, revised and accompanied by a preface by António Baião, historian and former director of the Portuguese National Archives at Torre do Tombo. A work of considerable interest for the history of pilgrimage, Portuguese travel literature and European knowledge of the Near East during the second half of the sixteenth century.
