After the Christian Conquest of the South and namely of the Loulé territory in 1249, the Christian Administration, based on the city councils meetings, composed of good men, will have to reconcile the social and religious dynamics of the populations who stayed in the territory, formed by Jews, Muslims and Christians. Besides this social, cultural and religious scenario, local administration will also assure the management of production, distribution and sale of food needed to ensure the survival and the settlement of the populations in the territory. Part of that distribution included cereals, olive oil, wine, meat and fish, all of them representing the Mediterranean food basis of the populations from the South of the Iberian Peninsula. It is about this daily concern with food distribution and consumption, in a religious and culturally tripartite society that we intend to present this article, focusing the analysis on three types of food: cereals (“bread”), meat and fish. We intend to demonstrate how the medieval council of Loulé managed the production of the food and how the population was fed, using the Councillor Minutes of the Loulé City Council in the medieval Christian period. Since the documentation allows us to propose an interpretation for the consecrated trilogy of bread, olive oil and wine, we choose to underline three fundamental areas of the economy of the Algarve region: cattle raising and the supply of meat to the populations, the shortage of cereals with which the “bread” supply was ensured and the commercialization of fish. The provision of meat, cereals and fish ensured that the population was well fed, but the most interesting is that, the way the food distribution was made, allows us to understand the capacity to accept a tripartite society between “Christians”, “Moors” and “Jews”. Key words: Mediterranean food, medieval city, religious scenario, food production, distribution. 1. Loulé: The Advantage of the Geographic the Al-Gharb, the village of Loulé integrated the Location1 group of the most important settlements of the Algarve, privileged by the geographic centrality of the The archaeological excavations done inside the Municipality and the village itself, spreading from the historic area of Loulé have proved its Islamic origin, mountains to the coast. in spite of the finding of remains from Roman origin This geographic situation was also favourable to the in neighbouring villages.

    416 APPENDIX A Methods Used for Analysis of Distributions ; As mentioned earlier, the availability of data only at the concelho level was the major difficulty in the use of sophisticated techniques for a quantitative analysis of the regional variations of different Attributes. Data available for certain attributes for the sixty-nine sub-divisions was used for calculating the correlation coefficients for certain distributions as given in Table No.App-Ml Appendix -A. -H. However, this being possible for only a limited number of attributes, certain other techniques had to be used for this purpose. Two such techniques have been used in this work for the analysis of spatial variation using the data at the concelho level (and in some cases where the village level data were available the 3ame was plotted for smaller units consisting of groups of villages as per Appendix A.I. and Fig.App.A.1.)' Firstly, the Lorenz curve proved to be a simple yet useful technique for visualizing the regional variations and the extent of evenness or unevenness of the distribution over the area. The points showing the position of each concelho or region on the curve have been shown by Roman numbers, key for which is given at the end of this Appendix. This simple technique brings out clearly the variations in most cases 1. Villages were grouped into sixtynine utfits. These sub­ divisions were based on the available data for census units of i960 census (GGDD, 1966) and wherever necessary grouping of such jjnits with due regard to relief, concelho boundaries and the comparability of size.

  • The Generic Freguesia As an Administrative Division in Portugal and Brazil: Synchronic Perspective Study Adriana Tavares Lima Ab
    ONOMÀSTICA BIBLIOTECA TÈCNICA DE POLÍTICA LINGÜÍSTICA The Generic Freguesia as an Administrative Division in Portugal and Brazil: Synchronic Perspective Study1 Adriana Tavares Lima DOI: 10.2436/15.8040.01.150 Abstract Freguesia is a generic that refers to one administrative division which involves social contexts, primarily in the scope of Portugal’s official (Catholic) church. The term had the same meaning in Brazil during Portuguese colonization. These countries have the same language, but their administrative divisions, history and culture are different. They also have some generics with the same linguistic structure as the aforementioned generic, which reflects linguistic phenomena today related to key changes in social structures. This paper will provide support for understanding the meaning of this concept and data for the Atlas Toponímico de Portugal (Toponymic Atlas of Portugal) developed at Universidade de São Paulo (Brazil), showing the use of freguesia as a generic term in São Paulo (Brazil) and in Braga (Portugal). Although the focus is not directly on Braga in this paper, interest in it is justified because the Master’s level research we are carrying out examines the role of the freguesia and its related toponyms in Braga, a city that is evidently important to established Portuguese nationality. These names can display the semantic status of a term that has been in existence since Portugal’s inception, as well as its social and historical changes and diachronic transformations, which may contribute to understanding the colonization process in Brazil from another perspective, by analyzing the linguistic status of freguesia in São Paulo in the present day.

  • Abandoned Villages and Related Geographic and Landscape Context: Guidelines to Natural and Cultural Heritage Conservation and Multifunctional Valorization

The authors looked into this problem in the Portuguese context, with special emphasis on the deserted village of Broas, close to Sintra, in the province of Estremadura, Western Portugal. Firstly, the general causes of human abandonment of rural areas were analysed especially in what concerns the evolution of national and E.C. agrarian economy and other social issues, related particularly with lack of quality of life and well being. The subsequent problems of heritage conservation required also a certain attention from the authors. In fact, many of the abandoned villages have valuable vernacular heritage elements and are involved by cultural landscapes, sometimes also of heritage value. As these inland areas have in general escaped to farming intensive pressure, an important natural heritage frequently exists. Different approaches to heritage valorization, based on different Portuguese experiences and other concepts, were also examined by the authors. These processes can go from the simple interpretation centre to the eco museum development or the building recovery for tourism purposes. Nevertheless, the main measures for the reinvention of the rural must be related to the establishment of economic opportunities for new inhabitants that should be based on multifunctional agro re-conversion activity adapted to small parcels and extensive systems, associated or not with small craft industries.

  • Appendices Appendix 1
    APPENDICES APPENDIX 1. SOURCES AND METHODS FOR THE SETTLEMENT MAP The median figures represented on the map refer to total agricultural population. The discrimination of agricultural and non-agricultural population is available in the local detail of the census materials only from Hungary and Eastern Germany. In all other countries, the medians for total rural population have been reduced proporticinately to the ratio between rural and agricultural population. This procedure risks to some extent to over-estirnate the size of agricultural villages, but this is largely compensated by the fact that agglomera­ tions of an urban character, where the majority of the population belongs to non-agricultural occupations, are not inc1uded in the area for which the com­ putation is made. The "agrotowns" in some Southern areas are on the other hand inc1uded among the agricultural settlement. The results thus obtained are, of course, reliable mainly in their broad features, and details should be read with caution. For the calculations here presented, administrative subdivisions have been followed. For reasons obvious in connection with a survey like this one, the administrative units are generally on the provinciallevel, and sometimes even larger subdivisions have had to be accepted as basis. It has not been possible to make the distribution to correspond with homogeneous geographical regions. Contrasts occurring at short distances are therefore largely hidden. In many instances it might have been desirable to calculate more fractiles, e.g, quartiles. In regions where the settlement consists of a combination of large rural centers and scattered farms, the median values may represent a size of village which is of rare occurrence.
