Manumission of Slaves in Goa During 1682 to 1760 as found in Codex 860

The centre piece of my presentation is one particular and interesting manuscript of the Goa Historical Archives, listed as codex 860, which and contains details about manumission of slaves in Goa during the period 1682-1760. Curiously, the “Fathers of Christians” involved in this process of manumission were several Jesuits until the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1759. The last four folios cover the year 1760 under a non-Jesuit, probably an Augustinian monk, appointed to take over the Old College of St Paul, while the Jesuits were detained before being deported.

RESUMO: Procuramos mostrar que a nossa época é dominada pelo imperativo do mais «mais, ainda» (encore), recorrendo para isso a diversos exemplos, colhidos em particular nos domínios do amor e da sexualidade, bem como em alguns dos «novos sintomas» e outras manifestações. ABSTRACT: We want to show that our time is dominated by the more «moreover» (encore), using for that several examples taken particularly on the love and sexuality fields, as well as on some «new symptoms» and other signs.
