Abstract(s)
Em relação ao denodo manifestado na defesa da libertação dos ameríndios, a atitude do padre António Vieira face aos escravos negros revela certa ambiguidade, pelo que este tema tem sido controverso nos estudos vieirianos. O presente trabalho procura compreender o autor seiscentista a partir de um cuidadoso exame dos sermões XIV, XX e XXVII de Maria Rosa Mystica, dedicados a escravos negros em engenhos da Baía, sendo estes textos os únicos em que o jesuíta se dirige direta e profusamente a escravos negros. Através duma leitura minuciosa, atendendo ao conceito de escravidão e à imagem do homem negro formada na literatura greco-romana, na Sagrada Escritura, no discurso patrístico e na Escolástica Barroca, descobriremos a natureza consoladora do discurso de Vieira, em que cintilam o seu profundo pensamento humanista e o seu admirável génio literário.
Regarding the boldness manifested in the defense of the liberation of the Amerindians, the attitude of Father António Vieira towards black slaves reveals a certain ambiguity, which is why this theme has been controversial in Vieira’s studies. The present work seeks to understand the 17th century author from a careful examination of the sermons XIV, XX and XXVII of Maria Rosa Mystica, dedicated to black slaves in some engenhos (factories of sugar) of Bahia, being these texts the only ones in which the Jesuit addresses himself directly and profusely to black slaves. Through a thorough reading, taking into account the concept of slavery and the image of the black formed in Greco-Roman literature, Sacred Scripture, Patristic discourse and Baroque Scholastics, we will discover the consoling nature of Vieira’s discourse, in which sparkle his profound humanist thought and his admirable literary genius.
