| Summary: | Accused of possessing a book of witchcraft, Francisco Barbosa was found to be under slight suspicion of heresy and abjured de levi on January 16, 1610. The sentence of the Inquisition comprised the burning of the book, a five-year exile to Brazil, catechesis, and some spiritual penances. This article is a micro-history of Francisco Barbosa’s trial in the Inquisition of Lisbon between 1608 and 1610. Its main goal is to reconstruct the biography of a seventeenth-century sorcerer from the unusual perspective of dissimulation. Taking into account Barbosa’s book of sorceries, this article also intends to inaugurate a broader reflection on the compilation of incantations as a counterpoint to the pious practice of collecting biblical and patristic citations in commonplaces, through the introduction of the concept of sortilegia. |
