The Historiography of Male-Male Love in Portugal, 1550–1800

Abstract

In its broadest sense the historiography of male homosexuality in Portugal from mid-sixteenth century to the start of the nineteenth is nourished by evidence on the topic from any perspective. In fact the richest documentation prior to the abolition of the Portuguese Inquisition (Holy Office) in 1821 derives from sodomy trials before it. 1 The interpretation and ambiguities of those trial records are a challenge to historians. The records of the Portuguese Inquisition are housed in the National Archives in Lisbon. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
