Bispos, agentes inquisitoriais e representantes da Coroa portuguesa produziram uma série de documentos entre 1717 e 1802 que permitem perscrutar o cotidiano das Minas Setecentistas. As principais problemáticas do estudo são: quem eram estes mágicos? Qual sua relação com a população das Minas? Quais as solidariedades e conflitos que estabeleceram através de suas práticas? / This master’s thesis seeks to clarify the established relation between those practicing magic - healers, faith healers, soothsayers and sorceresses - and colonial society through Ecclesiastical Visitations that have swept the inside of the region of Minas during the eighteenth century. Bishops, inquisitorial agents and representatives of the Portuguese Crown produced a series of documents between 1717 and 1802 that allow to peer into the daily life of eighteenth-century in Minas. The main issues of the study are: who were these magicians? What is their relationship with the population of Minas? What solidarities and conflicts they have established through their practices?
