  • Between Renaissance and Counter-Reformation: Shaping the Historical Memory of D
    Hispania Sacra, LXXI 144, julio-diciembre 2019, 465-479, ISSN: 0018-215X, https://doi.org/10.3989/hs.2019.033 BETWEEN RENAISSANCE AND COUNTER-REFORMATION: SHAPING THE HISTORICAL MEMORY OF D. FRANCISCO COUTINHO, 3RD EARL OF REDONDO (1546-1564) POR 1 Nuno Vila-Santa 2 Portuguese Center for Global History – CHAM (FCSH-UNL-UAÇ) New University of Lisbon Abstract Portrayed as a brilliant Renaissance figure that combined success in the military with the love for knowledge, D. Francisco’s patronage is well-known. This article compares the post-mortem written memory of Coutinho with an evaluation of the offices he held: the captaincy of Arzila (1546-1549) and the viceroyalty of India (1561-1564). The household and stay of D. Francisco at Arzila are analysed, as well as his strategy for recovering the royal grace, marked by his appointments to governor of the “Casa da Suplicação” (1559) and the viceroyalty of India (1561). At the viceroyalty, D. Francisco faced great expectations. Comparing Coutinho’s policy with the orders he received it is possible to ascertain whether the expectations of his appointment were fulfi- lled. This article reflects on the relations between different identities within the Portuguese Empire while focusing in a case-study of the shaping of historical memory. Key words: Coutinho; house; North Africa; Court; “Estado da India”; historical memory. ENTRE EL RENACIMIENTO Y LA CONTRARREFORMA: CONFORMANDO LA MEMORIA HISTÓRICA DE D.

A. BAYLY Smuts Reader in Commonwealth Studies, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of St Catharine's College and JOHN F. RICHARDS Professor of History, Duke University Although the original Cambridge History of India, published between 1922 and 1937, did much to formulate a chronology for Indian history and de- scribe the administrative structures of government in India, it has inevitably been overtaken by the mass of new research published over the last fifty years. Designed to take full account of recent scholarship and changing concep- tions of South Asia's historical development, The New Cambridge History of India will be published as a series of short, self-contained volumes, each dealing with a separate theme and written by a single person. Within an overall four-part structure, thirty complementary volumes in uniform format will be published during the next five years. As before, each will conclude with a substantial bibliographical essay designed to lead non-specialists further into the literature. The four parts planned are as follows: I The Mughals and their Contemporaries. II Indian States and the Transition to Colonialism. Ill The Indian Empire and the Beginnings of Modern Society. IV The Evolution of Contemporary South Asia. A list of individual titles in preparation will be found at the end of the volume.

FRANCIS XAVIER IN EUROPE AND ASIA Rachel Miller, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Recent historical studies have focused on the vital role that Catholic saints played after the Council of Trent, investigating how these holy figures were utilized to alleviate all manner of problems besetting the Post-Tridentine Church, emerging European nation states, and individual Catholics. My dissertation, however, approaches this issue from an art historical perspective, considering how images of St. Francis Xavier, the sixteenth-century Jesuit missionary, exercised considerable agency in an early modern world rife with global crisis. Specifically, I investigate Xaverian prints and paintings created in border zones of early modern Catholicism or in territories of the Iberian empires, particularly Antwerp, Goa, and Naples.

  • O Primeiro Soldado Prático De Diogo Do Couto E
    Título: O Primeiro Soldado Prático de Diogo do Couto e os seus contemporâneos Autor: Nuno Vila-Santa Introdução O Soldado Prático de Diogo do Couto é uma das obras do polémico escritor mais conhecidas, a par das suas conhecidas e variadas Décadas. Porém, a versão do Soldado Prático mais divulgada foi a que o cronista compôs em inícios do século XVII, tendo ficado relegada para o esquecimento durante bastante tempo a primeira versão do Diálogo do Soldado Prático de meados do século XVI. Graças ao apurado trabalho de Coimbra Martins esta versão pôde ser reconstituída na sua plenitude, revelando as imensas diferenças entre a primeira e a segunda versão1. A primeira versão do Soldado Prático cuja redacção se coloca normalmente em 1564 2 corresponde assim ao primeiro escrito conhecido que chegou à actualidade de Diogo do Couto. Se este facto, por si só, justifica o interesse em abordar esta primeira versão, importa desde já realçar a possível influência dos contemporâneos de Couto na sua escrita mas também a influência que esta primeira versão poderá ter tido em escritos arbitristas posteriores. Na época em que o soldado Diogo do Couto finalizava a redacção do que hoje se designa por Primeiro Soldado Prático, outros autores escreviam as conhecidas Relações em torno dos diversos problemas que o Estado da Índia enfrentava. Entre estas relações contam-se: a do vice-provincial jesuíta padre Belchior Nunes Barreto de Janeiro de 15663, a do capitão e vedor de Cochim João da Fonseca de 15674, a do arcebispo D. Jorge Temudo de 15695, a do visitador Alessandro Vallignano de Dezembro de 15756, o Primor e Honra de Vida Soldadesca no Estado da Índia de 1 Cf.
