This thesis examines the use of the trombone in Portugal between the first references to its use in the early sixteenth century and the mid nineteenth century. It is primarily based on archival research and supplemented by literary and iconographical references. This material is presented in calendar form in Volume II as Appendix 1. Volume I consists of a series of chapters that analyse and contextualise material from the Calendar. For the earlier period the thesis focuses on the use of the trombone in royal service, and in doing so provides a detailed survey of the Portuguese royal shawm band. The use of the trombone outwith royal service it is also examined. Issues relating to terminology and instrument making in Portugal are discussed. By examining sixteenth century iconographical sources with links to Portugal, this study addresses questions concerning aspects of trombone technique that have not previously been considered and have implication elsewhere in Europe. It considers the decline of the trombone during the second half of the seventeenth century and its resurgence in the later years of the eighteenth century. It identifies the earliest orchestral repertoire containing trombones that emerges in Portugal during the last decade of the eighteenth century, as well as the first trombone players of the beginning of the nineteenth century in military bands and orchestras in Lisbon. Finally, the thesis considers the class of brass instruments of the Royal Conservatoire of Lisbon and its professors, and examines the earliest surviving trombone methods in Portugal, which introduce aspects of performance practice that are not mentioned in other contemporary sources.

One of the aims of this thesis is to establish the medical background of Giles of Santarem; it does not attempt a full survey of medicine in medieval Portugal. In order to do this it has been necessary to bring together a wide variety of primary and secondary sources which are essential to the reconstruction of Giles' intellectual milieu. In so doing, it is hoped that this will provide an introduction to the relatively neglected topic of medieval Portuguese medicine. Until the 1980s, references to Giles of Santarem were either found in medical studies Such as those described above, or in works of Dominican history. Since then the Dominican perspective has been strengthened, but largely as a result of the publication of editions of sixteenth-century Dominican vitae. First of all in 1981-2, Aires Nascimento produced an edition of the ‘Vita beati Gilii Sanctarenensis' of Baltazar de Sao Joao. This was followed in 1995 by the critical edition of the ‘De conversione miranda D. Aegidii Lusitani' of André de Resende by Virginia Soares Pereira. The former editor is a medievalist with a firm interest in social and intellectual history, but he makes no indepth study of the text; the latter is primarily interested in the early-modern context of the author and makes only a cursory study of the medieval basis of the vita. These texts are probably the most important sources for the life of Giles of Santarem and considerable effort is taken to establish the reliability of such late sources and examine the complex process of legend-building that they reveal. Other recent work on Giles of Santarem has largely been carried out by local historians, particularly of Santarem and Vouzela, Giles' traditional place of birth. The most significant, and scholarly, of these is the aforementioned exhibition catalogue ‘S. Frei Gile a sua Época'. This very recent interest suggests that there has been a realization that Giles of Santarem had far more importance in medieval Portugal than has hitherto been accorded him. His life, as will be shown, opens a window onto many vistas: early Dominican settlement, genealogy, education, medical treatment, dissemination of texts, the politics of the civil war, hagiography, and historiography ... Historians need to realize that the study of medieval Iberia makes little sense without an appreciation of all the Iberian kingdoms. Portugal may have been in extremis mundi in the Middle Ages, but it was certainly very much part of the medieval world and needs to be studied, both for its own contribution to European history and for the influence the wider world had on the development of its society and institutions. The following in-depth study of the life and legend of Giles of Santarem seeks to provide a key to this approach.

This thesis, which focusses on the relationship between Lord Holland and Portugal, investigates aspects of political, diplomatic and cultural history. It covers the period between 1793 and 1840 and traces the evolution of Holland's views on Portugal from the time of his first visit to Spain to his later contribution to the establishment of a constitutional regime in Portugal. Particular attention is given to the Hollands' visits to Portugal in 1804-5 and 1808-9. Their journals and correspondence reveal their impressions of the people, culture and history of Portugal. On their travels, they met a number of prominent Portuguese, notably Palmela, who were to remain in contact with Holland House - especially during periods of exile - for many years into the future. The Portuguese journeys and the continuing contact with people like Palmela were to play an important part in the development of Lord Holland's views, not only on Portugal but also on broader political and constitutional issues. Thus the thesis investigates Lord Holland's influence on ' the establishment of a constitutional regime in Spain in 1809-10 and - indirectly and unintentionally - in Portugal in 1820-23, It includes a study of Holland's contribution to the settlement of a government in Brazil in 1808 - that is at the time the Bragancas moved from Portugal to Rio de Janeiro - and his indirect influence on the establishment of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves in 1815, as well as his role in the abolition of the Atlantic Slave Trade and the effects of abolition on Anglo-Portuguese relations. Lord Holland's contribution to the establishment of a Liberal regime in Portugal in 1834 is examined at some length. It includes a study of the extent of Holland's support for the Portuguese Liberal Cause after Dom Miguel's usurpation of the throne in 1828 and of his subsequent role in the 'Liberal invasion' of Portugal. To this end it investigates relations between Portuguese emigres and the Holland House Circle, Holland's role in the triangular diplomacy between Lisbon, St James and South Audley Street in 1828 and later. Finally, it considers Holland's contribution to the end of the Portuguese Civil War in 1834 and to the subsequent establishment of a constitutional regime in that country.

This thesis examines how the fortunes of poets and the status of poetry were changing at the end of the sixteenth century in Portugal. Centring on the long-neglected verse epistles in Diogo Bernardes's 'O Lima' (1596), I re-evaluate our sense of what it meant to be a poet when writing verse was not a sure-fire way to earn a living and when lyric poetry was regularly lampooned as trifling and immoral. Bernardes's surprisingly forthright cartas, I argue, offer new insights into the protagonists and procedures of literary patronage in Portugal. I use a combination of close readings and sociological methods to illuminate the practical strategies and rhetorical brinkmanship that Bernardes deployed in his quest for favour and highlight the frustrations and moral dilemmas of seeking the support of powerful, but fickle, patrons. Bernardes was a particularly remarkable writer for having printed his verse during his lifetime, and so I also trace how lyric verse was slowly legitimated as a cultural product during the sixteenth century and offer a case study of how an author's reputation was forged in the collaborative enterprise of print, then re-formed by the work of readers, thereby shedding light on the complex mechanisms of early modern canon formation. Paradoxically, I demonstrate that unequivocal praise of a writer's work can harm, rather than help, their chances of remaining in the canon. Although Bernardes's work is an echo chamber for these deep reverberations from the broader history of literature, this thesis also listens closely to Bernardes's distinctive poetic voice and allows it to speak out. Playful, candid, mercurial, it is a poetic voice that here seeks a wider audience.

Tendo em vista a centralidade e a importância dos impressos nessa centúria, esta investigação teve por objetivo analisar a revista “A Illustração Luso-brazileira”, tomada aqui como objeto de pesquisa e fonte para pensarmos o nacionalismo português. A partir da referida proposta buscamos entender a atuação dessa publicação como protagonista histórica e difusora de um discurso nacionalista na conjuntura de início da Regeneração em Portugal (1851). Refletimos ainda sobre os possíveis propósitos por trás das publicações luso-brasileiras, haja vista o fato de, apesar do título sugestivo, elas falarem pouco da nação brasileira. Outra questão abordada referiu-se às contribuições da revista para o debate acerca da questão ibérica, tema polêmico que ganhou fôlego nas discussões entre os intelectuais do período. Do mesmo modo, tratamos da contribuição do semanário na difusão de um pensamento que buscava a formação da identidade nacional lusa, em reação ao nacionalismo ibérico, propalado por alguns escritores. Trata-se de um momento privilegiado para se pensar esses temas, já que a publicação tem, como pano de fundo, o contexto do romantismo e a querela sobre a união, ou não, de Portugal com a Espanha. / The nineteenth century witnessed a great development in the production of periodical press. Given the centrality and importance of press in this century, those research aims to analyze the magazine “A Illustração Luso-brazileira”, taking it here as a research object and source to think the Portuguese nationalism. From this proposal we intend to understand the performance of this publication as historical protagonist and diffusing of a nationalist discourse in early juncture of regeneration in Portugal (1851). We reflect further on the possible purpose behind the Luso-Brazilian publications, given the fact that, despite the suggestive title, they speak little of the Brazilian nation. Another issue addressed referred to the review of contributions to the debate on the Iberian issue, a controversial issue and gained momentum in the discussions between the intellectuals of the period. Likewise, we deal with the weekly contribution in spreading a thought seeking the formation of the national Portuguese identity in reaction to the Iberian nationalism, heralded by some writers. It is a privileged moment to think about these issues, since the publication has, as a backdrop, the romantic context and quarrel about unity, or not, of Portugal with Spain. / FAPESP: 2013/14940-5

A pesquisa intitulada "O olhar fotográfico de Francisco Brandão" tem por objetivo identificar a formação desse olhar e de como ele se manifesta na produção e na recepção das imagens produzidas por Brandão. Para isso, analisa-se a história de Portugal e de Piracaia, cidade para onde se mudou ao vir para o Brasil, e estuda-se o conjunto de sua obra fotográfica, formal e tematicamente. No último capítulo discute-se a memória relacionada com a fotografia, tomando-se como ponto de partida a Coleção Brandão e seu tratamento arquivístico. / Abstract: The Portuguese Francisco Brandao , migrated to Brazil at the end of the XIX century. Although he was a druggist, he had Photography as a secondary activity. The research entitled "The Photographic eye of Francisco Brandao" aims to help us identify this "eye" and how it is reflected in the production and capture of the images made by him. For such, a historical analysis of Portugal and Piracaia (his landing city when he arrived in Brazil,) becomes necessary along with the gathering of his work, formal and theme based. In the last chapter a discussion is raised of his memory related photographic work as a starting point to Brandao's collection and his archivist treatment. / Mestrado / Mestre em Multimeios

Oppression and dictatorship were rife in this traditional Roman Catholic Portuguese state. The Portuguese Empire collapsed and the period immediately after the 1974 Revolution was marked by Communist influence. However, democracy rose with the 1976 Constitution and its subsequent Revisions addressing various aspects of freedom but neglected to address religious freedom. Specific legislation pertaining to freedom of religion was only adopted more than three decades later in 2001. Consequently, the study intended to reveal the status of religious freedom in Portugal as a result of the 1974 Revolution. The hypothesis of this study is that there was resistance to the implementation of religious freedom in Portuguese legislation and society which continued until 2009, the point at which this study ends. Relevant legislation regarding religious freedom was the adoption of the 2001 Religious Freedom Act followed by the signing of the 2004 Concordat. Thus, this important question is relevant, was religious freedom respected in Portugal in 2009? Subsequently, this study tested and proved the hypothesis that religious freedom was not fully applied in Portuguese legislation and society up to the period under study. The adoption of the 2004 Concordat proved that there was still confusion regarding the legal status of religious freedom in the country. The methodology used to collect the data for this study included numerous articles, letters, national and international legislation, anecdotal evidence as well as literature and in-depth interviews to collect oral historical information. This study is located in the theoretical framework of the transformative theory of religious freedom. The thesis revealed that even if the 1974 Revolution brought in freedom of religion the concept still lacks full implementation according to Articles 18, 19, and 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and Articles 9, 10 and 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.

Literature and Theology altogether can show aspects of humans life, for this reason the Trilogy of Boat: Act of the Boat of Hell, Act of the Boat of Purgatory and the Act of the Boat of Heaven were chosen to be analyzed for represent the thinking concerning salvations aspects in that important time period, that showed a religious disagreement that resulted in Protestant Reformation (1517). The life, the work and the prestige the poet had with the kings John II, Manuel and the queen Eleonor will be observed firstly. Vicent´s works is very important until today; by his work, Trilogy of Boat, the influence of his time and the mean where he lived are observed. He shows that in the Middle Age the society and the church had a lot of sins like lust, avarice, envy, robbery and pride; all Vicent s characters have one or more of these sins and they respond for that. He show us his religious believes in Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory by the destiny he gives to the sinners souls. The poet created a place where angels, the demon and personified death are responsible for who died. In his Trilogy of Boats we analyze the author s concept about salvation and we saw the ones who went to Hell, to Paradise and to Purgatory, to have their sins purified. Finally, we can observe that Gil Vincent was a man who wants to see the transformation of his society and his church. However, our intention isn t defend a point of view referent to soteriology controversy whether salvation can happen through God s grace or by the election through his prescience, we pretend show that both concepts were present before , during and after Vicente s life, as well during the Protestant Reformation. Starting from historic and culture analyses, our intention is respond some questions like: What are salvation concepts in Gil Vincent work? His soteriological thoughts are based on what? Whether, did he a significant contribution to his readers of all the times? And finally: Was he a precursor of Reformation or only discontent with Catholic Church? / Esta pesquisa pretende analisar a visão do poeta português Gil Vicente quanto às virtudes, aos vícios e à degeneração do homem, considerando os aspectos envolvidos na salvação. Tendo como ponto de partida que a Teologia e a Literatura se entrelaçam ao exporem a vida humana, a trilogia de Gil Vicente, Auto da Barca do Inferno, Auto da Barca do Purgatório e Auto da Barca da Glória, foi escolhida para ser analisada por representar o pensamento, no que diz respeito à salvação, de um período tão importante em termos de descontentamento religioso, que resultou na Reforma Protestante (1517). Em primeiro lugar, são analisados a vida, a obra e o prestígio que o poeta tinha na corte portuguesa com os reis D. João II, D. Manuel e a Rainha Eleonor. Por meio da Trilogia das Barcas, a influência do tempo de Gil Vicente e do meio em ele viveu é observada. Ele mostra que, na Idade Média, na sociedade e na igreja podiam-se observar muitos pecados como a luxúria, a avareza, a inveja, a corrupção e o orgulho; todas as personagens têm um ou mais desses vícios e respondem por isso. O poeta nos mostra sua crença no céu, no inferno e no purgatório por meio do destino que ele dá para cada alma. Ele cria um espaço no qual os anjos, o diabo e a personificação da morte são responsáveis por quem morre. Na Trilogia das Barcas, analisamos o conceito que o autor tinha sobre a salvação e observamos aqueles que são enviados para o inferno, para o paraíso e para o purgatório. Não temos intenção de defender uma posição quanto à controvérsia soteriológica: se a salvação acontece por meio da eleição unicamente pela graça de Deus ou por meio de sua presciência; mas sim de mostrar que ambos os conceitos estavam presentes antes de Gil Vicente, durante sua vida, e depois de Gil Vicente, em todo o período da Reforma Protestante. A partir da análise histórico-cultural e da análise dos Autos propostos no tema, buscamos responder às questões: qual o conceito de salvação em Gil Vicente? Em que se fundamenta o pensamento soteriológico dele? Quais contribuições o poeta deu ao seu povo e às pessoas que ainda leem suas obras? Por último, vamos tentar responder se ele foi um préreformador ou apenas um católico descontente com sua igreja.
