Summary
Two volumes of the História da igreja no Brasil (Petrópolis, 1977 and 1980) have been published. The first contains two studies on the colonial period: E. Hoornaert, ‘A evangelização e a cristiandade durante o primeiro período colonial’, and R. Azzi, ‘A instituição eclesiástica durante o primeiro período colonial’. Equally important are the relevant sections of the comprehensive and well-documented study by Hans-Jürgen Prien, Die Geschichte des Christentums in Lateinamerika (Göttingen, 1978).
Certain sources are of particular importance to an understanding of the basic themes of church history in Brazil between 1500 and 1800: Claude d’Abbeville, Histoire de la mission des Pères Capucins de l’Ile de Maragnon et terres circonvoisines (Paris, 1614; Rio de Janeiro, 1975); João Daniel, ’Tesouro descoberto do máximo rio Amazonas, 1757–1776’, ABNRJ, 2 vols. (1976); Miguel Garcia, ‘Carta ao Pe. Geral Aquiviva, da Bahia: Sobre graus e ressaibos da universidade do colégio da Bahia; sobre a liberdade dos índios, de que era defensor, tornando-se-lhe intoleráves as confissōes dos moradores, 1583’, excerpts in Serafim Leite, História da Companhia de Jesus no Brasil, 10 vols. (Rio de Janeiro, 1938–50), vol. 1, 98; vol. 2, 227, 440; Gonçalo Leite, ‘Carta ao Pe. Geral contra as homicidas e roubadores da liberdade dos índios do Brasil’ (Lisboa, 1586), excerpts in Historia da Companhia de Jesus no Brasil, vol. 2, 229; Martin de Nantes, ‘Relation succinte de la mission du père Martin de Nantes, predicateur capucin, missionaire apostolique dans le Brésil, parmi les indiens appellés Cariris’ (Quimper, 1705) (Rio de Janeiro, 1979).
