The Marrano Factory
First published in Portuguese in 1969, this is the only work by Antonio Jose Saraiva available in English and the only single-volume history devoted primarily to the working of the Portuguese Inquisition, a most lucid and compact survey. "The Marrano Factory" argues that the Portuguese Inquisition s stated intention of extirpating heresies and purifying Portuguese Catholicism was a monumental hoax; the true purpose of the Holy Office was the fabrication rather than the destruction of "Judaizers."

O discurso engenhoso
Os estudos de Antonio José Saraiva sobre a cultura lusitana têm se desenvolvido sob o impulso de uma renovação constante, constituindo-se numa das mais importantes contribuições contemporâneas no domínio da história, da literatura e da crítica no mundo de língua portuguesa. E a coletânea de trabalhos aqui reunidos é um exemplo notável deste fato. Utilizando-se dos recentes desenvolvimentos na reflexão e na análise estruturais e literárias, 'O Discurso Engenhoso' focaliza sob novos ângulos a retórica da fala sermonária de Viera, o seu 'discurso lexicológico', à luz das relações entre coisa e texto, e as 'sutilezas' do 'engenho' barroco em Gracián e Peregrini. Assim, este livro da Coleção Debates é de serventia indiscutível para todos aqueles que se dedicam à tarefa de investigar e estudar o modo de ser e a estética do discurso na literatura vernácula.
The Faith of Remembrance
In a series of intimate and searing portraits, Nathan Wachtel traces the journeys of the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Marranos—Spanish and Portuguese Jews who were forcibly converted to Catholicism but secretly retained their own faith. Fleeing persecution in their Iberian homeland, some sought refuge in the Americas, where they established transcontinental networks linking the New World to the Old. The Marranos—at once Jewish and Christian, outsiders and insiders—nurtured their hidden beliefs within their new communities, participating in the economic development of the early Americas while still adhering to some of the rituals and customs of their ancestors. In a testament to ...
Iniciação à literatura portuguesa
Nesta obra, o autor estabelece enorme intimidade com os autores que analisa, sejam eles pitorescos e ingênuos jograis dos séculos XII e XIII, épicos como Fernão Lopes e Camões ou instauradores da mais complexa modernidade, caso de Fernando Pessoa.

The Same but Different?
Using cutting-edge theory regarding trade networks and diaspora, this study challenges the historiographical argument that the Sephardim, and indeed, a variety of religio-ethnic groups, achieved their commercial success by relying on geographically dispersed family members and fellow ethnics. The book’s findings challenge the reigning understanding that commercial success stemmed from endogamous business relationships and socio-cultural insularity. The book demonstrates that the most successful Sephardic merchants of early seventeenth century Amsterdam built their fortunes not thanks to familial or diasporic connections, but through “loose ties,” economic networks comprised of non-Sephardim. Focusing on three of the most prominent Sephardic merchants in Amsterdam, and a random sampling of other Sephardi merchants, the book reveals a multi-ethnic and multi-religious trade network of non-Jewish merchants.
