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.

Lisbon; Agência Geral das Colónias; In-8.º of 123(1) pages; Illustrated; Paperback.

An uncommon and sought-after work by the historian and Spiritan missionary António Brásio (1906–1985), published as number 101 in the «Pelo Império» series. A study of the historical presence of African populations in Portugal and their influence on Portuguese society and culture, examining ethnography, folklore, personal names and popular traditions. Particularly noteworthy are the chapters devoted to Black religious brotherhoods in Lisbon and other Portuguese towns, institutions of mutual assistance and religious devotion that played an important role in African and Afro-descendant communities. Illustrated with 20 plates outside the text, including photographs, drawings and reproductions of works of art. The work is now valued for its documentary significance in the history of the African presence in Portugal, while also reflecting the historiographical perspectives and colonial ideology of the 1940s.
