Hello, I'm not a specialist in the area. Adding to Alan Machado, I can suggest the works of Miguel Rodrigues Lourenço - https://fcsh-unl.academia.edu/MiguelLouren%C3%A7o; https://www.redalyc.org/pdf/2850/285022064003.pdf - namely a paper where he discusses historiographic discourses regarding the inquisition in Goa (Reputação, rigor e autoridade da Inquisição em Goa: da incompreensão histórica à mitificação historiográfica) - Giuseppe Marcocci - https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=lHhCe7kAAAAJ&hl=en - and Bruno Feitler - https://unifesp.academia.edu/BrunoFeitler. All of them have work that may help illuminating the discussion.

The Jews of Goa under the Portuguese This description of the activities of the Inquisition in Goa is misleading. Alan Machado (Prabhu) demonstrated on the basis of original documents that the primary targets of the Inquisition of Goa were not Jews, Hindus, and other Non-Christians unless they interfered with the workings of the Inquisition. The primary targets were Christians. As I noted in my articles on the practice of Ayurvedic Medicine in Goa, when Gabriel Dellon was in jail and pretended to be sick, the Inquisitors brought a Hindu physician to treat him. Machado (Prabhu) also demonstrated that the Inquisition in Goa was relatively mild compared to the ones in Portugal. The clear proof of this is the independent testimony of foreign travelers in the 16th and 17th centuries that there were several synagogues in Goa and Jews and Hindus were practicing their religion freely in Goa. There was even a Rua dos Judeus (Road of the Jews) in Old Goa (Velha Goa) which suggests that Jews were settled in Goa. Yet, as Machado (Prabhu) noted, the same fictions about the Inquisition of Goa get repeated over and over.

The Jews and early Christians were in West-Coast India very early for trade, continuing before and after the fall of Rome. Cosmas Indicopleustes etc. are examples of this and we need to explore more in these areas. What is done is Goa, Portugal is too meagre to bring out history.

There may have been early settlement of Jews in Goa, but there certainly was a Jewish colony there under the Portuguese. However, the Portuguese set up an Inquisition in Goa and tried many Jews and conversos or New Christians. They kept alive Garcia de Orta (1501-68), the physician of the king and a famous botanist, but burned his sister on the stake. By the 18th century the community of Jews had disappeared but their memory lingered on in some families to this day. https://www.lockdownuniversity.org/lectures/2560-the-jews-of-goa-under-the-portuguese -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Goa-Research-Net" group.
