Esta historia, apesar de contar 343 annos depois da sua +publicação, o governo italiano julgou acertado (no interesse da sua recente +expedição á Abyssinia) mandar traduzil-a sob o titulo: «Storia della +spedizione Portughese in Abyssinia nel seculo XVI, narrata da Michelo de +Castanhoso». + +Os primitivos exploradores portuguezes eram invariavelmente seguidos de +fervorosos missionarios das ordens religiosas que n'essas epochas remotas +de preferencia se empregavam na propagação da fé--as de Santo Agostinho, S. +Francisco e S. Domingos. Foram os missionarios d'essas ordens os primeiros +que levaram a religião christã á Africa, Asia e America. + +Apenas organisada a Companhia de Jesus--em 1540--, os padres d'aquella +ordem, especialmente os portuguezes, prestaram importantes servicos á fé, á +civilisação, á agricultura e ao commercio, em toda a vastidão do territorio +aonde o pendão das quinas tinha alcançado. A elles é igualmente devida a +descoberta da origem do Nilo. Os padres portuguezes Pedro Paes e Francisco +Lobo levaram a effeito essa arrojada empreza. + +Segue-se a narrativa, publicada em 1665, do Patriarcha Dom João Bermudez, o +qual viera a Portugal na qualidade de Embaixador do Rei da Abyssinia junto +de El-Rei Dom Sebastião. O Patriarcha descreve com especialidade os +combates e as victorias de Dom Christovão da Gama na Abyssinia. + +Os padres da Companhia, Patriarcha Affonso Mendes, Melchior da Silva, +Francisco Lobo e Nicolau Godinho, escreveram igualmente sobre a Abyssinia. +Este padre publicou em Roma, (em latim), tres obras importantes; uma +refutando o que sobre a Abyssinia escrevera o padre Dom Luis Urreta, +hespanhol, e frade Dominicano. A segunda ácerca da vida do padre Gonçalves +da Silveira, martyrisado na Africa oriental, em 15 de março de 1561; e a +terceira:--«De Abassiorum Rebus de que Aithiopiæ Patriarchus Joanne Nonio +Barreto & Andrea. Oviedo, 1615». + +Que os escriptos dos missionarios portuguezes eram tidos em grande apreço +nos seculos XVI e XVII, temos muitas provas; entre outras uma carta +geographica (da qual possuimos um exemplar), publicada em Veneza no tempo +da Republica, intitulada:--«Abyssinia, dove sono le Fonti del Nilo, +discrita secondo le relationi de P. P. Mendes, Almeida, Paes, Lobo e +Lodulfo». + +A historia da Abyssinia do Padre Balthazar Telles, publicada em 1660, +merece particular attenção:--«Historia general da Ethiopia a alta ou Preste +João, e do que n'ella observaram os padres da Companhia de Jesus, composta +na mesma Ethiopia pelo padre Manoel d'Almeida, natural de Vizeu, Provincial +e Visitador que foi na India, abreviada com novas relações e methodo pelo +padre Balthazar Telles, natural de Lisboa, Provincial da Provincia +Lusitana». + +Entre varias curiosidades, menciona o padre Manoel d'Almeida, as ruinas de +Acçuma ou Axuma como amostras da belleza original d'aquelles edificios; e +outrosim confirma a tradicção dos artistas empregados em essas +construcções, terem sido mandados vir do Egypto, por ser desconhecida na +Abyssinia a arte de lavrar a pedra. + +O notavel historiador João de Barros, corrobora a magnificencia das ruinas +de Acçuma, côrte que diz fôra da Rainha de Sabá e de varios Imperadores da +Ethiopia. + +Descreve aquellas ruinas, e faz menção do que sobre ellas affirma o douto +Cardeal Baronio, nos seus annaes ecclesiasticos. Diz figurarem alli varias +ruinas, obeliscos, etc., especialmente de uma egreja que mostra ter sido de +cinco naves, medindo duzentos e vinte palmos de compimento e cem de +largura. Distam estas ruinas tres leguas de Eremonia, e de Maçuá trinta e +cinco, em altura de 14 graus e meio. + +João de Barros descreve outras ruinas similares, denominadas «Zimbabe», +situadas a 170 leguas de Sofala, na Africa oriental. + +O padre Balthazar apoia a sua narrativa em cartas pertencentes á missão da +Ethiopia, então archivadas no cartorio do Collegio, em Coimbra, algumas de +1556. + +Não é fóra de proposito mencionar os escriptos do padre jesuita Damião +Vieira, o qual missionára na India quarenta annos. Entre seus trabalhos +citam-se excellentes memorias relativas á historia da India, como tambem um +volumoso manuscripto sobre a descoberta da India, que pertencera ao marquez +de Fontes, antigo Embaixador em Roma. Affirma-se que esse manuscripto +contém detalhes e particularidades relativas á descoberta da India que não +existem na obra de João de Barros. + +É tambem digna de attenção a carta publicada na Collecção de Ramusio, sob o +titulo: «Lettere del padre maestro Francisco Xavier de Cangoxina, Cittá del +Giapan, inderezzata a un Collegio de Scholari di detta Compagnia en +Coimbra, Portogallo»; datada de 5 de outubro de 1549. + +Merecem tambem estudo os escriptos do padre Procurador em Roma, Dom Alvaro +Semedo, da provincia do Japão e da China, publicados em 1642. + +Sóbe de interesse o itinerario do padre Jeronymo Lobo, cujo manuscripto +original pertencera á Bibliotheca dos Condes da Ericeira, e fôra traduzido +em francez por mr. Le Grand, e publicado em Amsterdam em 1728. + +As bibliothecas dos marquezes de Castel Melhor e dos Condes da Ericeira +eram afamadas pelos valiosos documentos que continham relativos ás +descobertas dos portuguezes. Muitos d'esses padrões de gloria nacional +ficaram sepultados nas ruinas do terramoto de 1755; alguns foram felizmente +parar a varias bibliothecas estrangeiras. Em Roma, Florença, Bologna e +Veneza, tive eu a fortuna de compulsar algumas reliquias do outr'ora +levantado Portugal. + +Revertendo ao itinerario do padre Jeronymo Lobo, é mister confessar que +contém informação de alto interesse, inclusivè uma carta geographica da +Abyssinia, na qual estão designadas as egrejas dos padres Jesuitas e suas +residencias. Este notavel membro da Companhia foi perseguido, e até +encarcerado em Maçuá, de onde conseguiu evadir-se para Lisboa, de cujo +ponto passou a Roma em servico da missão da Abyssinia. Não fôra, porém, bem +acolhido pela Curia. Regressou a Goa, e alli occupou o cargo de Reitor +d'aquella Provincia; e passados varios annos regressou a Lisboa, fallecendo +de idade avançada na Casa Professa de S. Roque, a 29 de Janeiro de 1678. + +O padre Lobo não perdeu o tempo na Abyssinia, nem mesmo escapou á agudeza +de seu espirito investigador apontar Maçuá como ponto estrategico e chave +da Abyssinia. Os italianos assim o reconheceram ha poucos annos, quando +occuparam aquella cidade. + +Os abexins favoreceram e trataram bem os portuguezes emquanto careceram do +seu auxilio, nas dissensões internas; passado o perigo, a sua conducta +tornou-se insupportavel. O proprio Patriarcha Dom João Bermudez foi preso, +e se conseguira a liberdade, elle mesmo declara devel-a ao auxilio de tres +portuguezes, cujos nomes menciona:--Manoel de Soveral, Peropalha e Denis de +Lima. O Patriarcha conseguiu por fim abandonar o paiz em 1565. + +É innegavel que os padres da Companhia praticaram importantes servicos á +religião e á civilisação; não é, porém, menos exacto que o seu empenho de +avassallar e de amontoar riquezas, foram causas de seu desprestigio no +seculo passado. + +Na Abyssinia, a impopularidade contra a Companhia chegou aos frades +indigenas, os quaes se sentiram desconsiderados e humilhados por estranhos. + +Quanto fica relatado ácerca da extraordinaria influencia e poderio dos +portuguezes nos mares Roxo e Persico, está comprovado em documentos +irrefragaveis, sobretudo os relativos aos annos de 1512 e 1514--1606 e +1690, os quaes encerram materia de subido interesse com referencia á +Abyssinia e á Persia. + +Figuram entre aquelles documentos, as capitulações negociadas pelo general +do exercito de Ormuz e mar Roxo, Antonio Machado de Brito com Calil Baxa de +Bassora; como tambem os da missão do Dr. Gregorio Pereira Fidalgo, na +qualidade de Embaixador de El-Rei Dom Pedro II junto do Rei da Persia, para +felicital-o pela sua elevação ao throno, e para ratificar a Liga effeituada +por Francisco Pereira da Silva, capitão-mór da armada de alto bordo do +Estreito de Ormuz e mar Roxo. + +O espirito esclarecido e eminentemente prático do insigne Affonso de +Albuquerque manifestam-se em toda a sua magnificencia n'aquellas paragens. + +Damos por terminada a nossa investigação, a qual tivera por objecto reunir +dados historicos ácerca dos primeiros portuguezes que penetraram na +Abyssinia. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Memoria ácerca dos Portuguezes na +Abyssinia, by Visconde de Soveral + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MEMORIA--PORTUGUEZES NA ABYSSINIA *** + +***** This file should be named 30945-8.txt or 30945-8.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/0/9/4/30945/ + +Produced by Pedro Saborano (This file was produced from +images generously made available by The Internet Archive) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/30945-8.zip b/30945-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bc4d149 --- /dev/null +++ b/30945-8.zip diff --git a/30945-h.zip b/30945-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..63c026a --- /dev/null +++ b/30945-h.zip diff --git a/30945-h/30945-h.htm b/30945-h/30945-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..e66914b --- /dev/null +++ b/30945-h/30945-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,702 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> +<html lang="pt"> +<head> + <title>Memoria ácerca dos Portuguezes na Abyssinia</title> + <meta name="Author" content="Visconde de Soveral, 1812-1905"> + <meta name="Publisher" content="Typographia do «Comercio do Porto»"> + <meta name="Date" content="1894"> + <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-15"> + <style type="text/css"> + body{margin-left: 10%; + margin-right: 10%; + } + .pn { + text-indent: 0em; + position: absolute; + left: 92%; + font-size: smaller; + text-align: right; + color: silver; + } + #corpo p{text-align: justify; text-indent: 1em;} + h1, h2 {text-align: center; margin-top: 3em; margin-bottom: 2em;} + .rodape { + font-size: 0.8em; + margin: 2em; + } + .direita {text-align: right; margin-right: 15%; font-size: 1.2em;} + </style> +</head> + +<body> + + +<pre> + +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Memoria ácerca dos Portuguezes na Abyssinia, by +Visconde de Soveral + +This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with +almost no restrictions whatsoever.

Domingos. Foram os missionarios d'essas ordens os primeiros que +levaram a religião christã á Africa, Asia e America.</p> + +<p>Apenas organisada a Companhia de Jesus em<span class="pn">{7}</span> +1540 , os padres d'aquella ordem, especialmente os portuguezes, prestaram +importantes servicos á fé, á civilisação, á agricultura e ao commercio, em toda +a vastidão do territorio aonde o pendão das quinas tinha alcançado. A elles é +igualmente devida a descoberta da origem do Nilo. Os padres portuguezes Pedro +Paes e Francisco Lobo levaram a effeito essa arrojada empreza.</p> + +<p>Segue-se a narrativa, publicada em 1665, do Patriarcha Dom João Bermudez, o +qual viera a Portugal na qualidade de Embaixador do Rei da Abyssinia junto de +El-Rei Dom Sebastião. O Patriarcha descreve com especialidade os combates e as +victorias de Dom Christovão da Gama na Abyssinia.</p> + +<p>Os padres da Companhia, Patriarcha Affonso Mendes, Melchior da Silva, +Francisco Lobo e Nicolau Godinho, escreveram igualmente sobre a Abyssinia. Este +padre publicou em Roma, (em latim), tres obras importantes; uma refutando o que +sobre a Abyssinia escrevera o padre Dom Luis Urreta, hespanhol, e frade +Dominicano. A segunda ácerca da vida do padre Gonçalves da Silveira, +martyrisado na Africa oriental, em 15 de março de 1561; e a terceira: «De +Abassiorum Rebus de que Aithiopiæ Patriarchus Joanne Nonio Barreto & +Andrea. Oviedo, 1615».</p> + +<p>Que os escriptos dos missionarios portuguezes eram tidos em grande apreço +nos seculos <small>XVI</small> e <small>XVII</small>, temos muitas provas; +entre outras uma carta geographica (da qual possuimos um exemplar), publicada +em Veneza no tempo da Republica, intitulada: «Abyssinia, dove sono le Fonti +del Nilo, discrita secondo le relationi de P. P. Mendes, Almeida, Paes, Lobo e +Lodulfo».<span class="pn">{8}</span></p> + +<p>A historia da Abyssinia do Padre Balthazar Telles, publicada em 1660, merece +particular attenção: «Historia general da Ethiopia a alta ou Preste João, e do +que n'ella observaram os padres da Companhia de Jesus, composta na mesma +Ethiopia pelo padre Manoel d'Almeida, natural de Vizeu, Provincial e Visitador +que foi na India, abreviada com novas relações e methodo pelo padre Balthazar +Telles, natural de Lisboa, Provincial da Provincia Lusitana».</p> + +<p>Entre varias curiosidades, menciona o padre Manoel d'Almeida, as ruinas de +Acçuma ou Axuma como amostras da belleza original d'aquelles edificios; e +outrosim confirma a tradicção dos artistas empregados em essas construcções, +terem sido mandados vir do Egypto, por ser desconhecida na Abyssinia a arte de +lavrar a pedra.</p> + +<p>O notavel historiador João de Barros, corrobora a magnificencia das ruinas +de Acçuma, côrte que diz fôra da Rainha de Sabá e de varios Imperadores da +Ethiopia.</p> + +<p>Descreve aquellas ruinas, e faz menção do que sobre ellas affirma o douto +Cardeal Baronio, nos seus annaes ecclesiasticos. Diz figurarem alli varias +ruinas, obeliscos, etc., especialmente de uma egreja que mostra ter sido de +cinco naves, medindo duzentos e vinte palmos de compimento e cem de largura. +Distam estas ruinas tres leguas de Eremonia, e de Maçuá trinta e cinco, em +altura de 14 graus e meio.</p> + +<p>João de Barros descreve outras ruinas similares, denominadas «Zimbabe», +situadas a 170 leguas de Sofala, na Africa oriental.</p> + +<p>O padre Balthazar apoia a sua narrativa em cartas<span class="pn">{9}</span> +pertencentes á missão da Ethiopia, então archivadas no cartorio do Collegio, em +Coimbra, algumas de 1556.</p> + +<p>Não é fóra de proposito mencionar os escriptos do padre jesuita Damião +Vieira, o qual missionára na India quarenta annos. Entre seus trabalhos +citam-se excellentes memorias relativas á historia da India, como tambem um +volumoso manuscripto sobre a descoberta da India, que pertencera ao marquez de +Fontes, antigo Embaixador em Roma. Affirma-se que esse manuscripto contém +detalhes e particularidades relativas á descoberta da India que não existem na +obra de João de Barros. </p> + +<p>É tambem digna de attenção a carta publicada na Collecção de Ramusio, sob o +titulo: «Lettere del padre maestro Francisco Xavier de Cangoxina, Cittá del +Giapan, inderezzata a un Collegio de Scholari di detta Compagnia en Coimbra, +Portogallo»; datada de 5 de outubro de 1549.</p> + +<p>Merecem tambem estudo os escriptos do padre Procurador em Roma, Dom Alvaro +Semedo, da provincia do Japão e da China, publicados em 1642.</p> + +<p>Sóbe de interesse o itinerario do padre Jeronymo Lobo, cujo manuscripto +original pertencera á Bibliotheca dos Condes da Ericeira, e fôra traduzido em +francez por mr. Le Grand, e publicado em Amsterdam em 1728.</p> + +<p>As bibliothecas dos marquezes de Castel Melhor e dos Condes da Ericeira eram +afamadas pelos valiosos documentos que continham relativos ás descobertas dos +portuguezes. Muitos d'esses padrões de gloria nacional ficaram sepultados nas +ruinas do terramoto de 1755; alguns foram felizmente parar a varias +bibliothecas estrangeiras. Em Roma, Florença, Bologna e Veneza, tive eu<span +class="pn">{10}</span> a fortuna de compulsar algumas reliquias do outr'ora +levantado Portugal.</p> + +<p>Revertendo ao itinerario do padre Jeronymo Lobo, é mister confessar que +contém informação de alto interesse, inclusivè uma carta geographica da +Abyssinia, na qual estão designadas as egrejas dos padres Jesuitas e suas +residencias. Este notavel membro da Companhia foi perseguido, e até encarcerado +em Maçuá, de onde conseguiu evadir-se para Lisboa, de cujo ponto passou a Roma +em servico da missão da Abyssinia. Não fôra, porém, bem acolhido pela Curia. +Regressou a Goa, e alli occupou o cargo de Reitor d'aquella Provincia; e +passados varios annos regressou a Lisboa, fallecendo de idade avançada na Casa +Professa de S. Roque, a 29 de Janeiro de 1678.</p> + +<p>O padre Lobo não perdeu o tempo na Abyssinia, nem mesmo escapou á agudeza de +seu espirito investigador apontar Maçuá como ponto estrategico e chave da +Abyssinia. Os italianos assim o reconheceram ha poucos annos, quando occuparam +aquella cidade.</p> + +<p>Os abexins favoreceram e trataram bem os portuguezes emquanto careceram do +seu auxilio, nas dissensões internas; passado o perigo, a sua conducta +tornou-se insupportavel. O proprio Patriarcha Dom João Bermudez foi preso, e se +conseguira a liberdade, elle mesmo declara devel-a ao auxilio de tres +portuguezes, cujos nomes menciona: Manoel de Soveral, Peropalha e Denis de +Lima. O Patriarcha conseguiu por fim abandonar o paiz em 1565.</p> + +<p>É innegavel que os padres da Companhia praticaram importantes servicos á +religião e á civilisação; não é,<span class="pn">{11}</span> porém, menos +exacto que o seu empenho de avassallar e de amontoar riquezas, foram causas de +seu desprestigio no seculo passado.</p> + +<p>Na Abyssinia, a impopularidade contra a Companhia chegou aos frades +indigenas, os quaes se sentiram desconsiderados e humilhados por estranhos.</p> + +<p>Quanto fica relatado ácerca da extraordinaria influencia e poderio dos +portuguezes nos mares Roxo e Persico, está comprovado em documentos +irrefragaveis, sobretudo os relativos aos annos de 1512 e 1514 1606 e 1690, os +quaes encerram materia de subido interesse com referencia á Abyssinia e á +Persia.</p> + +<p>Figuram entre aquelles documentos, as capitulações negociadas pelo general +do exercito de Ormuz e mar Roxo, Antonio Machado de Brito com Calil Baxa de +Bassora; como tambem os da missão do Dr. Gregorio Pereira Fidalgo, na qualidade +de Embaixador de El-Rei Dom Pedro <small>II</small> junto do Rei da Persia, +para felicital-o pela sua elevação ao throno, e para ratificar a Liga +effeituada por Francisco Pereira da Silva, capitão-mór da armada de alto bordo +do Estreito de Ormuz e mar Roxo.</p> + +<p>O espirito esclarecido e eminentemente prático do insigne Affonso de +Albuquerque manifestam-se em toda a sua magnificencia n'aquellas paragens.</p> + +<p>Damos por terminada a nossa investigação, a qual tivera por objecto reunir +dados historicos ácerca dos primeiros portuguezes que penetraram na +Abyssinia.</p> +</div> + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Memoria ácerca dos Portuguezes na +Abyssinia, by Visconde de Soveral + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MEMORIA--PORTUGUEZES NA ABYSSINIA *** + +***** This file should be named 30945-h.htm or 30945-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/0/9/4/30945/ + +Produced by Pedro Saborano (This file was produced from +images generously made available by The Internet Archive) + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/30945-h/images/img1.png b/30945-h/images/img1.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d130278 --- /dev/null +++ b/30945-h/images/img1.png diff --git a/30945-h/images/img2.png b/30945-h/images/img2.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..e7380f1 --- /dev/null +++ b/30945-h/images/img2.png diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
