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.

Inventive Translation, Portraiture, and Spanish Hapsburg Taste in the Sixteenth Century
9 © Copyrighted Material Inventive Translation, Portraiture and Spanish Habsburg Taste in the Sixteenth Century Elena Calvillo The Spanish Patron In his autobiography, Benvenuto Cellini recounts how when faced with an angry mob of Spaniards from the household of the bishop of Salamanca, he defiantly pointed his gun into the crowd and cried, ‘You treacherous Moors – so this is how you loot the shops and houses in a city like Rome?’1 According to the artist, the Spaniards had come to collect a vase that had been returned to Cellini to be repaired, but because the patron had not yet paid for it, Cellini declined to release it. The commotion surrounding this exchange soon attracted the attention of a few Roman gentlemen, eager to join the fight. Their offer to help Cellini kill his opponents was made ‘with such vehemence that the Spaniards were terrified out of their wits’ and retreated.2 The Spanish courtiers were subsequently admonished by the bishop, who, Cellini claimed, was angered by both the violence initiated by the brash members of his household and by their failure to finish the job. Cellini’s characterization of the Spanish throughout this part of his text, leading up to the Sack of 1527, is similar to many portrayals of this period.3 For Cellini, such a depiction of the troublesome Spaniards served the rhetorical ends of the autobiography by highlighting his loyalty to Rome and his personal bravery, most spectacularly demonstrated in his account of the defence of the Castel Sant’Angelo against imperial troops. A few themes emerge from Cellini’s anecdote. -
The Case of the New Christians of Lamego As an Example of Resistance Against the Portuguese Inquisition in Sixteenth Century Portugal
The Case of the New Christians of Lamego as an Example of Resistance against the Portuguese Inquisition in Sixteenth Century Portugal Susana Bastos Mateus and James W. Nelson Novoa* The article presents a particular case of Portuguese New Christian resistance to the establishment of the tribunal of the Holy Office in Portugal. Basing itself on Portuguese and Vatican documents the article depicts the New Christian community in Lamego which organized itself to present their case in Rome using a variety of strategies against the civil and ecclesiastical authorities in the kingdom. It presents the concrete example of several prominent figures who were instrumental in constructing a network to challenge the creation of the tribunal in Portugal. The work of the nineteenth century Portuguese historian, Alexandre Herculano (1810-1877), opened new doors in what was an often inaccessible or forgotten field of research, the early establishment and functioning of the tribunal of the Holy Office in Portugal, which was formally instated there in 1536 and only abolished in 1821.1 As was demonstrated by Herculano and reiterated by subsequent scholars, the main priority of the Holy Office in Portugal was the obliteration of the perceived persistence of Jewish religious practices and beliefs among those individuals converted in 1497 and their descendents. Much of Herculano’s work was occupied with the negotiations and dealings pursuant to the establishment of the tribunal, which, after receiving initial approval from Pope Clement VII (1478-1534; papacy 1523-1534), finally got off the ground under Paul III (1468-1549; papacy 1534-1549). When the creation of the tribunal was first decreed, various elements came into play which stalled its opening. -
De Embaixador a Cardeal: a Presença De D. Miguel Da Silva Na Embaixada Portuguesa E Sua Relação Com D
DE EMBAIXADOR A CARDEAL: A PRESENÇA DE D. MIGUEL DA SILVA NA EMBAIXADA PORTUGUESA E SUA RELAÇÃO COM D. JOÃO III Raphael Henrique Dias Barroso1 Mestrando em História Social pela Universidade de São Paulo [email protected] Resumo: Entre 1515 e 1525, D. Miguel da Silva esteve em Roma como o segundo embaixador permanente de Portugal nos reinados de D. Manuel e D. João III. Conhecido por ser um cortesão muito respeitado pela Cúria romana, tendo sido homenageado na dedicatória do livro O Cortesão de Baldassare Castiglione, foi por meio do seu trabalho, que diversas instâncias religiosas foram criadas e importantes cargos foram nomeados para a aristocracia lusitana. Entretanto, ao ser convidado a se tornar cardeal pelo papa Paulo III, o rei D. João III promoveu severas perseguições a D. Miguel, culminando com sua desnaturação do reino em 1542. Neste trabalho, buscamos investigar o primeiro contato de D. Miguel da Silva com D. João III, no período em que foi embaixador em Roma. Dessa forma, procuramos discutir os conflitos de interesses que eram presentes nas negociações, como alianças com famílias reais, posse de cargos eclesiásticos, guerra contra os turco-otomanos e o pedido de dispensa do embaixador. Ao fim do trabalho, colocaremos questões que permitirão o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, assim como problematizar os fatores que impactaram a relação entre Portugal e o Papado. Palavras-chave: D.

Portugal-Venice: Historical Relations — 27 —
Portugal-Venice: Historical Relations — 27 — { trafaria praia } portugal-venice: historical relations Francisco Bethencourt portugal’s relations with italy became formalized in the middle ages, thanks to increas- ing maritime trade between the mediterranean and the north atlantic. throughout this period lisbon functioned as a stopping-off point due to its position on the western coast of the iberian peninsula. between the 12th and the 15th centuries, venetians and genovese controlled several different territories and trading posts throughout the mediterra- nean, with their activity stretching as far east as the black sea (at least up until the conquest of constantinople by the ottomans in 1453). the asian luxury trade was one basis of their wealth. The economic importance of Portugal lay fundamentally in the export of salt. Northern France, Flanders, and England had access to the cereals growing in the north of Europe, which were much coveted by southern Europe; at the same time they were developing metallurgy and woolen textiles. In the 16th century, the population of Flanders was 40 percent city-based, and it was by far the most important city population in Europe. This urban concentration brought with it a specialization of functions and diversified markets. This is why Flanders, followed by England, became specialized in maritime transporta- tion, and then competed with the Venetians and the Genovese. The Portuguese kings used the Italians’ maritime experience to create their military fleet. In 1316, King Denis invited the Genovese mariner Pessagno to be admiral of the fleet, 26 > 33 Francisco Bethencourt — 28 — and the latter brought pilots and sailors with him. -
André De Resende and the City of Évora
chapter 5 An Appropriate Past for Renaissance Portugal: André de Resende and the City of Évora Nuno Senos 1 An Appropriate Past for Portugal From the mid-fifteenth century, in the period that we call the Renaissance, various Portuguese literati, artists, and thinkers-at-large began to ponder their country’s past. The predominant lens through which most of us have been taught to look at the Renaissance shows that such historical roots were sought in Roman times. However, as the present volume makes clear, the relationship between the past and the men at the dawn of the early modern age was a more nuanced and complex one. In this chapter, I shall look at this relationship through the case of Évora, a former Roman city and the seat of a palaeo-Christian bishopric (dating back at least to the early fourth century), which had perished during the times of the Muslim domain over the Iberian Peninsula (from 711 AD onwards) but had been revived during the Reconquista, after which point the city (conquered by Christian troops in 1165) became one of the crown’s favourites, and therefore a favourite of the aristocracy as well.1 The combination of all of these factors granted Évora a very central place in the Renaissance construction of a past for Portugal. Of paramount importance in such an endeavour was the work of Évora- born humanist André de Resende (ca. 1500–1573), which provides a fine ex- ample of the intricacies involved.2 Resende was educated in Alcalá de Henares and Salamanca, and he spent most of the first three decades of his life 1 The bibliography on Évora in the Renaissance is vast. -
