Thus, we assay Cadornega?s work between text and context, exploring his many and ambiguous ?Angolas?, that are at the same time Portuguese, Bragantine, Flemish, exiled, enslaved and sobas. In the first part of the thesis we highlight the author?s experience as a writer since his departure from Lisbon until his arrival in Angola, his participation in the slave markets and the building of his networks with the local elites. The second part assesses the many different manuscripts of the HGGA in which the authorship was attributed to Cadornega and that form the current collection of some Institutions such as the National Library of France, the British Library, the Lisbon Science Academy, National Library of Portugal and the Public Library of ?vora. In the last part we analyse the writing itself of Cadornega?s work: its ambiguities, keywords, concepts, repetitions, and style. The three parts of the thesis are composed by seventeen chapters and as a general perception considers that the Cadornega?s work was dedicated to the king Pedro II of Portugal given the author?s links with the dynastic house of Braganza, but mainly given the fact the Cadornega, being a new-Christian, was constantly in need to keep himself away from the Portuguese Inquisition in a time of political and administrative changes in the Portuguese African colonies. For him, staying in ?Angola? was a matter of survival. / O presente trabalho de pesquisa analisa o sentido da escrita dos manuscritos da obra Hist?ria Geral das Guerras Angolanas cuja autoria ? do portugu?s, crist?o-novo e degredado Ant?nio de Oliveira de Cadornega. Para tanto, consideramos a obra de Oliveira de Cadornega entre texto e contexto, e problematizamos ?Angola? enquanto um conceito, com todas as pluralidades e ambiguidades que isso acarreta. Na primeira parte desse trabalho priorizamos as experi?ncias de escrita do autor, ou os contextos desde o embarque de Cadornega em Lisboa, at? sua chegada em Angola, bem como seu estabelecimento e inser??o no mercadejo de escravaria e elite local. A segunda parte desse trabalho observa as diversas vers?es dos manuscritos da HGGA que se tem not?cia e cuja autoria ? ou foi atrelada a Cadornega, e comp?em atualmente o acervo de institui??es como a Biblioth?que Nationale de France, a British Library, a Academia das Ci?ncias de Lisboa, a Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal e a Biblioteca P?blica de ?vora. Na terceira e ?ltima parte desse trabalho debru?amo-nos em analisar o texto de Oliveira de Cadornega e o visibilizamos como um historiador, compreendendo as suas ambiguidades, palavras-chave, repeti??es, tons e estilos. As tr?s partes desse trabalho est?o divididas em dezessete cap?tulos, e consideram que a obra de Oliveira de Cadornega foi escrita e dedicada a D. Pedro II em fun??o das rela??es que o autor possu?a com a Casa din?stica dos Bragan?as, mas principalmente por Cadornega ser um crist?o-novo que necessitava manter-se apartado da inquisi??o em um momento de substitui??o do oficialato nas col?nias. Para Cadornega permanecer em ?Angola? era uma quest?o de sobreviv?ncia.
