Portuguese version:

Margarida de Saboia, Duquesa de Mântua (1589-1655) percurso biográfico e político na monarquia hispânica

Este trabalho aborda o vice-reinado de Margarida de Mântua em Portugal, integrandoo num percurso biográfico e político vivido sob a influência da Monarquia dos Habsburgo. Princesa de Saboia pelo nascimento e duquesa de Mântua pelo casamento, sempre privilegiou e cultivou a identidade com a linhagem materna, atuando como fiel aliada política do seu primo Filipe IV. A princesa Margarida foi nomeada para o exercício de um vice-reinado de sangue no cenário de crise da Monarquia Hispânica em Portugal que antecederia a Restauração de 1640. Deparou-se com um contexto de tensão militar com outras potências coloniais, marcado pela transformação das instituições políticas e da fiscalidade e pela agitação popular. Na análise das questões fundamentais que marcaram o vice-reinado, a avaliação da intervenção governativa da princesa Margarida é frequentemente limitada pelo preconceito de género, inerente à mentalidade da época, que percorre as fontes literárias e documentais. Descrita pelos seus contemporâneos como altiva e orgulhosa, Margarida de Mântua revelou-se determinada nas suas decisões e persistente nos seus objetivos.

Owner portraits and heraldry in the "Lamoignon Hours"

Because of the distance in time and the lack of testifying documents, one should be extremely careful when labelling portraits in medieval books of hours as donor portraits or owner portraits. There are, however, manuscripts that reveal their first owner within their decorative programme, and the Lamoignon Hours (Lisbon, Gulbenkian, ms LA 237) is one of these. This article aims to discuss the iconography of the three portraits found on f.165v, f.202v and f.286v, as well as the relevance of portraiture and heraldic insignia in books of hours and the significance of such content to the original owner and to those who possessed the book afterwards.

Dieu, vingt-six portraits bibliques

Vingt-six portraits par vingt-six exégètes. Tel est le défi proposé et assumé pour un parcours surprenant de lectures et d'interprétations multiples d'un Dieu unique et en même temps complexe. Quelle cohérence entre le Dieu fracassant de l'Exode et le Dieu crucifié de l'apôtre Paul ? Quelle continuité entre le Dieu de Gédéon et celui de Jésus : " Mon Dieu, mon Dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné ? " (Mc 15,34) ? Le Dieu de l'entrée en Canaan ressemble-t-il vraiment à l'Agneau immolé de l'Apocalypse ? Mais déjà, au sein de la Bible hébraïque, les trompettes de Jéricho côtoient le Serviteur souffrant d'Isaïe. Comment comprendre aujourd'hui cette diversité de la présence de Dieu dans la Bible, si ce n'est par la diversité des regards d'exégètes dont la lecture croisée des textes bibliques nous invite à renouveler notre compréhension de Dieu ?
