Resumo(s)
In his book on Portuguese men that achieved some prominence abroad,
published in 1879, Bernardes Branco confessed that he had not been sure if
Gerson da Cunha was Portuguese or English, and that he had had to contact
Cunha Rivara, the Portuguese secretary of the Governor in Goa and a scholar,
to resolve his doubts: “Mr. Gerson da Cunha is a Portuguese subject, born
in Goa, of indigenous race and of the Brahman caste. He is established in
Bombay as a doctor” was Cunha Rivara’s answer.In fact, Gerson da Cunha
studied medicine in Bombay, Edinburgh and London, before returning to
Bombay in the 1870s and making medicine his profession. However, his
historical, archaeological and numismatic interests, mainly in themes related
to the Portuguese in India, increasingly occupied a large part of his time and
resulted in numerous articles and books published in the last three decades of
the 19th century.
