BAIÃO (António). A INQUISIÇÃO de Goa. Lisboa e Coimbra. 1930-1949. - BAIÃO (António) A INQUISIÇÃO de Goa . Tentativa de Historia da sua Origem, Estabelecimento, Evolução e Extinção (Introdução à Correspondencia dos Inquisidores da India 1569-1630). Lisboa e Coimbra: Academia das Ciências e Imprensa da Universidade, 1930-1949. 2 v.; 235 mm. A fundamental study by António Baião on the Tribunal of the Holy Office of Goa, published in two volumes: volume II, containing the correspondence of the inquisitors of India between 1569 and 1630, was published first in Coimbra in 1930; volume I, attempting a history of the origin, establishment, evolution, and extinction of the tribunal, followed in Lisbon in 1949. The Goa Inquisition, the only Holy Office tribunal established outside the Kingdom, exercised jurisdiction over the entire Portuguese East, from the Cape of Good Hope to Macau, from its creation in 1560 until its definitive extinction in 1812. It was briefly abolished in 1774, during the Pombaline era, and re-established three years later. Baião's work, based on the unpublished correspondence of the inquisitors sent to the Kingdom, remains an indispensable reference and an obligatory starting point for subsequent studies on the Inquisition in the State of India. Rare and highly valued. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
