  • Toledot Yeshu as a framework of identity resistance: The Portuguese case: Text and context (sixteenth–seventeenth centuries)

    Open AccessJosé Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLEHamsa2023References: 2

    This essay focuses on extracts from Toledot Yeshu (Stories of Jesus) revealed in the trials of the Portuguese Inquisition from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Considering explicit and longer versions, as well as allusions that seem to point to the Jewish story of Jesus or other texts opposing Christianity, this paper aims to understand why they were used, and in what context, and explain their utilization across time. Additionally, it al…

  • The Agendas of the First New Christians in Israel and the Portuguese Empire (Sixteenth Century)

    Open AccessJosé Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLEEntangled Religions2022References: 3

    This paper aims to reveal and interpret the messianic messages arising from the Inquisition of Évora (Portugal) trials against a group of first generation converts following the general expulsion of the Jews from Spain and Portugal in 1492 and 1496 respectively. These messages point to a memorialist construction on the phenomenon of the expulsions of Jews from France until they reached Portugal. Consequentially, both their new status as Christian…

  • Mobilities and Communities between North Africa and Portugal: Muslims and Jews in the Medieval and Early Modern Ages

    Open AccessMaría Filomena Lopes De Barros, Filomena Barros et al.ARTICLELer História2021References: 2

    This article reflects on the connections between geographical mobility and the constitution of a community in Portugal in the cases of Jews and Muslims in the Middle and Early Modern Ages. Data for the Middle Ages reveal greater mobility of Muslims between the two shores of the Mediterranean, whereas Jewish mobility seems to have been more prevalent within the Iberian kingdoms. This difference persisted in the Early Modern Age: many Muslims were …

  • A descoberta dos Marranos de Portugal… no Brasil

    José Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLELusotopie2019

    Neste artigo reflicto sobre as repercussões da “descoberta” dos Marranos em Portugal, no princípio do século XX, na questão do resgate da identidade brasileira pelos judeus do Brasil. Esta “descoberta” despertou grande interesse de especialistas da História dos Judeus, de cientistas sociais, e também da Média europeia. Mas foi igualmente alvo do interesse de pessoas que, no outro lado do Atlântico, tentavam comprovar a presença de uma população d…

  • Judeus portugueses na Europa e nas Caraíbas, séculos XVII-XVIII: Declínio ou adaptação

    Open AccessJosé Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLELer História2019References: 2

    Os quatro textos que constituem este dossier, apresentando estudos de caso que revelam situações problemáticas em cada uma das comunidades analisadas, podem subordinar-se a um questionário comum: quando (e como) é que se pode falar de “declínio” dos diversos grupos de judeus de matriz portuguesa? Ou será que é preferível falar de “adaptação”? Incidindo sobre uma cronologia extensa e espaços variados, este dossier observa como diversas comunidades…

  • Muçulmanos e árabes num espaço plural – uma perspetiva multidisciplinar

    Open AccessMaría Filomena Lopes De Barros, C M De Castro et al.ARTICLEHamsa2019Cited by: 1References: 1

    O tema deste volume 5 da revista Hamsa propõe uma abordagem sobre os muçulmanos e judeus na América Latina. Dividida esta responsabilidade entre os dois editores, Cristina Maria de Castro, para os primeiros e António de Abreu Xavier, para os últimos, o resultado final consubstanciou uma pluralidade de análises, especialmente marcada pela multi e interdisciplinaridade, do contexto histórico ao registo biográfico ou, ainda, à sociologia das religiõ…

  • Elizabethan Orientalia: ‘Jews’in Late Tudor England and the Ottoman Jews

    José Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLEEuropean Judaism2018

    Elizabeth I had people of Jewish origin in her personal circle, such as the famous physician Rodrigo Lopez, who was a relative of an influential Jew called Álvaro Mendes. Mendes was born in Portugal, and later took refuge in the Ottoman Empire, where he was known as Salomon ibn Ya’ish; we know that he exchanged correspondence with Elizabeth I, and the queen always favoured him in her missives to Sultan Murad III. The queen knew that Mendes receiv…

  • A Oriente: Uma vida em segredo dos judeus e cristãos-novos portugueses

    José Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLESigila2017

    Entre le Proche Orient et l’Orient plus distant, le secret accompagnait, en ses multiples variantes, le destin des Juifs et des nouveaux-chrétiens qui voyageaient dans ces contrées ; ils vivaient dans le contexte de l’Empire portugais et, fréquemment, dans d’autres constellations politiques à l’extérieur. Ce secret était vital pour ceux qui, nombreux, présentaient deux identités ou plus (parfois même comme musulmans), tandis que l’Inquisition vig…

  • Peter A. Mazur, The New Christians of Spanish Naples, 1528-1671: A Fragile Elite

    Open AccessJosé Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva Tavim, José Alberto TavimARTICLELer História2014

    A presente obra de Peter Mazur versa uma comunidade periférica em duas dimensões fundamentais: a sua situação na esfera da soberania espanhola, mas num reino exterior à Península Ibérica, ainda que económica e estrategicamente crucial no contexto da península italiana e do Mar Mediterrâneo – o reino de Nápoles -; e também numa posição geograficamente “extrema” face às outras comunidades de conversos que viviam maioritariamente em Espanha, Portuga…

  • Jewish Studies in Portugal

    Open AccessJosé Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLEHamsa2014Cited by: 1

    Este artigo pretende informar e refletir sobre os estudos judaicos em Portugal, no período contemporâneo. O seu principal objetivo não consiste numa enumeração de autores e trabalhos associados a este campo de estudo (numa mera perspetiva historiográfica acrítica) mas, sobretudo, numa reflexão das mais importantes etapas porque passaram esses mesmos estudos judaicos. Finalmente apresentamos hipóteses sobre o seu limitado desenvolvimento, quando c…

  • Portuguese New Christians in the Turkish “Carrefour” Between the Mediterranean and the Indian Ocean in the Sixteenth Century: Decentralization and Conversion

    José Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLEJournal of Early Modern History2013

    This article analyzes some cases of multiple conversion among Portuguese Jews in the Ottoman Empire. Paradoxically, it was the lack of homogeneity of the Ottoman Sephardic communities that explained the success of “three-faced” men, such as Duarte da Paz, Tomé Pegado da Paz, and Matias Bicudo. They were able to change dress, religion, and masters during their careers as informers because they remained inconspicuous within the Ottoman Empire due t…

  • The Grão-Turco and the Jews: Translation to the West of two Oriental ‘powers’ (XVI–XVII centuries)

    José Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLEMediterranean Historical Review2013References: 4

    What rhetorical arguments can be found in various sources – pamphlets, religious literature, travelogues, and so on – to depict the historical sequence of events that led to the encounter between the expelled Iberian Jews and the Ottomans as a realm of emotions? The accusation made by some western travellers, such as the French geographer Nicolas de Nicolay, that the Sephardim Jews played a crucial role in the Ottoman Empire's technological moder…

  • Sephardic Intermediaries in the Ottoman Empire

    José Alberto Rodrigues Da Silva TavimARTICLEOriente Moderno2013Cited by: 1

    With this article we aim to reflect upon the possibilities of Jewish personalities of Iberian origin to act as intermediaries with the West while residents in the Ottoman Empire and subjects of the Sultan. Unlike spying, a field where D. Yosef Nasi (c. 1520-1579), one of such personalities, excelled before, at the service of Portuguese Authorities, the visibility and centrality of their activity as middlemen near the Sublime Porte and some Sephar…
