  • Recent Acquisitions: a Rare Work by Jacobus Tevius Barry Taylor
    Recent Acquisitions: a Rare Work by Jacobus Tevius Barry Taylor The British Library has recently had the good fortune to buy a rare work by a major figure in Portuguese Renaissance Humanism. Its description is as follows: Iacobi Tevii Lusitani. Epodon siue Ia(m)bicorum carminum libri tres [...] Ad Sebastianum primum, inuictissimum Lusitaniæ Regem (Lisbon: Francisco Correia, 1565) 12º. [6], 171 [sic for 160], [2], 66 leaves.1 British Library pressmark: RB.23.a.23815 The work is divided into three books: 1. Sententiarum vtilium quidem omnibus hominibus, sed regibus ac rerum moderatoribus præcipue, quibus addita est boni principis institutio. 2. Hymnorum ad Iesum Christum & ad diuos huiusce regni patronos pro Regis salute & rerum felicissimo statu. 3. De perfecto Episcopo & alia opuscula ad Henricum Serenissimum principem, cardinalemque illustrissimum regnique moderatorem sapientissimum. The author, Diogo de Teive, wrote only under the Latin form of his name, Jacobus Te vius.2 He was born in Braga between 1513 and 1515, and died between 1565 and 1579, probably in Lisbon. His career displays both the glory of Portuguese Humanism and its decline under the Inquisition. Like many a scholar of his generation,Tevius was a traveller, a situation aided by the international currency of Latin. From the age of twelve he studied at the Collège de Sainte-Barbe in Paris, under a Portuguese mentor, Diogo de Gouveia Senior. From 1532 to 1534 he taught at Salamanca. Finding the Spanish university town did not provide him with the peace and quiet necessary for study, he returned to France, studying law at Toulouse and teaching at Bordeaux, where he held a chair in Humanities.

The name Bischa appears on the map. This would seem to be an early printed appearance of the name "Bishita," a name which dates back to the 8th and 9th Centuries, when it appeared in Eastern Syriatic documents of the Old Testament, "referencing the prosperity of the 'Bayt Qatarya' region." (see, Khalid Al-Jaber, Media In Qatar, Katara (Publishin House 2021), p. 23) Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer and the first European to reach India by sea. His initial voyage to India (1497–1499) is widely considered a milestone in world history. Da Gama's discovery of the sea route to India opened the way for an age of global imperialism and enabled the Portuguese to establish a long-lasting colonial empire in Asia. After the death of King Manuel I in late 1521, his son and successor, King John III of Portugal set about reviewing the Portuguese government overseas. Vasco da Gama re-emerged as an important adviser to the new king's appointments and strategy.

  • Secrecy, Ostentation, and the Illustration of Exotic Animals in Sixteenth-Century Portugal
    ANNALS OF SCIENCE, Vol. 66, No. 1, January 2009, 59Á82 Secrecy, Ostentation, and the Illustration of Exotic Animals in Sixteenth-Century Portugal PALMIRA FONTES DA COSTA Unit of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, Faculty of Sciences and Technology, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829-516 Campus da Caparica, Portugal Received 6 December 2007. Revised paper accepted 5 August 2008 Summary During the first decades of the sixteenth century, several animals described and viewed as exotic by the Europeans were regularly shipped from India to Lisbon. This paper addresses the relevance of these ‘new’ animals to knowledge and visual representations of the natural world. It discusses their cultural and scientific meaning in Portuguese travel literature of the period as well as printed illustrations, charts and tapestries. This paper suggests that Portugal did not make the most of its unique position in bringing news and animals from Asia. This was either because secrecy associated with trade and military interests hindered the diffusion of illustrations presented in Portuguese travel literature or because the illustrations commissioned by the nobility were represented on expensive media such as parchments and tapestries and remained treasured possessions. However, the essay also proposes that the Portuguese contributed to a new sense of the experience and meaning of nature and that they were crucial mediators in access to new knowledge and new ways of representing the natural world during this period.

  • European Latin Drama of the Early Modern Period in Spain, Portugal and Latin America
    1 European Latin Drama of the Early Modern Period in Spain, Portugal and Latin America Joaquín Pascual Barea Introduction In the Hispanic Neo-Latin theatre, ancient drama converged with cultured and popular medieval genres such as elegiac comedy, debates and religious performances, as well as humanistic comedy from Italy and from the Low Countries, and other dramatic, poetic and oratorical genres from the Modern Age. Before a historical survey, we also analyze the influence of Aristotle’s and Horace’s poetics and of ancient drama on Neo-Latin drama, paying particular attention to the structure, the number of acts, the characters, the use of prose or verse, and the main dramatic genres. The History of Neo-Latin drama in Iberia and Latin America has been divided into four periods. During the reign of the Catholic Kings (1479–1516), the first Latin eclogues and dialogues produced in Spain, and the works of Hercules Florus and Johannes Parthenius de Tovar in the Kingdom of Aragon deserve our interest. Under the King and Emperor Charles (1516–1556), we consider the main authors of Neo-Latin drama: Joannes Angelus Gonsalves and Joannes Baptista Agnesius in Valencia, and Franciscus Satorres in Catalonia; Joannes Maldonatus in Salamanca and Burgos; Joannes Petreius at the University of Alcalá de Henares, and Franciscus Cervantes de Salazar in Mexico, as well as Didacus Tevius in Portugal under John III (1521–1557). A few months before the reign of King Sebastian in Portugal and King Philip in Spain (1556–1598), the Society of Jesus started their dramatic activity in the different provinces of Iberia: Portugal, Andalusia, Castile, Toledo and Aragon.

  • The Portuguese Guitar: History and Transformation of an Instrument Associated with Fado
    THE PORTUGUESE GUITAR: HISTORY AND TRANSFORMATION OF AN INSTRUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH FADO NUNO JOSÉ DOS SANTOS ANAIA CRISTO A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY 2014 © Nuno José dos Santos Anaia Cristo 2014 ABSTRACT Since the mid-nineteenth century the Portuguese guitar has been connected to the fado genre. Over the years, both the instrument and the song genre have experienced significant transformations, at times related to aesthetic changes, at other times conditioned by social, political and economic alterations. This thesis focuses on the historic organological development of the Portuguese guitar, as an instrument associated with fado, and explores how the Lisbon guitar model has been progressively replaced by the Coimbra guitar model (both in practice and iconic symbolism). I argue that this tendency is related to the current new era of Portuguese guitar practice with its origins in the post-revolutionary period lived in Portugal after the political overthrow in 1974. My study is based on the review and analysis of the most recent works on the subject, fieldwork among players and makers, iconographic and archival research, and my own experience as a player and maker of both models of the Portuguese guitar. ii DEDICATION To my parents iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many thanks to: York University for the 2012 GS-CUPE Unit 1 Graduate Financial Assistance - Dom Award.

  • Consciência E Império: Política E Teologia Moral No Mundo Português Da Idade Moderna
    CONSCIÊNCIA E IMPÉRIO: POLÍTICA E TEOLOGIA MORAL NO MUNDO PORTUGUÊS DA IDADE MODERNA Giuseppe Marcocci* Resumo Este artigo apresenta a primeira reconstrução da relação entre consciência e império no mun- do português entre 1500 e 1650. Ele mostra em que grau a fundação da Mesa de Consciência, um conselho régio de teólogos dedicado a questões como guerra, comércio, conversão e escravidão, moldou a ideologia imperial. Neste contexto, “consciência” emergiu como uma palavra-chave no vocabulário político, refletindo a importância da teologia moral para a lin- guagem política em que se concebeu o império. Ela não apenas reforçou a hegemonia dos teólogos, mas também encorajou a emergência de uma casuística missionária, a qual se tornou crescentemente independente de autoridades centrais do Reino e de Roma. Sob o domínio dos Habsburgo (1580-1640), esse sistema foi desmantelado, e os teólogos perderam a sua central- idade na corte. Depois da Restauração em 1640, algumas das antigas instituições foram recu- peradas no nome, mas a antiga interconexão entre política e teologia moral não foi reinstala- da. Palavras-chave Império Português; ideologia imperial; teologia moral; Mesa da Consciência e Ordens; casuística missionária. COUNSCIOUSNESS AND EMPIRE: MORAL POLITICS AND THEOLOGY IN POR- TUGUESE WORLD OF MODERN AGE Abstract This article presents the first reconstruction of the relationship between conscience and em- pire in the Portuguese World between 1500 and 1650. It shows to what extent the foundation of the Mesa da Consciência (“Board of Conscience”), a royal council of theologians devoted to issues like war, commerce, conversion, and slavery, shaped the imperial ideology. In this context, “conscience” emerged as a keyword in the political vocabulary, reflecting the im- portance of moral theology for the political language in which the empire was conceived.

  • Forgers and Martyrs: Conflicting Histories of the Portuguese Inquisition (1598-1647)
    53 Forgers and Martyrs: Conflicting Histories of the Portuguese Inquisition (1598-1647) Giuseppe Marcocci - University of Viterbo The lack of historical works on the Portuguese Inquisition (1536-1821) produced by its members might lead us to conclude that the ministers and officials of the tribunal gave no special value to this form of knowledge. On the contrary, by looking back to the first half of the seventeenth century and focusing on two case studies – that of the Dominican António de Sousa and that of Manuel do Vale de Moura – this article shows how the Portuguese inquisitors were often involved in a struggle to define a historical image of the Holy Office. Original documents, kept under lock and key in the archives of the tribunal, were examined quite early on, but actually gave support to opposing views regarding the interests of the Inquisition. In a complex balance, sometimes the executioners took up the arguments and justifications of their victims, revealing unexpected points of agreement between the two. An Ancien Régime tribunal with no taste for its history? The Portuguese Holy Office continues to be the least known of the three inquisitions in the early modern period, although in recent years interest has grown in what was the most global of the tribunals of the faith, given the geographical range of its action and the variety of its victims, many of whom were conversos of Jewish origin, also known as ‘New Christians’.1 Not only the general public, but even many 1 A preliminary draft of this article has been presented at the international workshop ‘The Origins of the Inquisition in Comparative Perspective’, The Tree House, Humanities Research Centre, University of York, 21 May 2015.
