| Summary: | While fighting, trading, evangelizing, sailing, traveling or exercising diplomacy, the Portuguese of the 16th century could and would not refrain from “talking” (communicating) with the “others”. They observed their figures and culture, and tried to learn as much as they could about them (by watching, listening or reading). Mere cultural curiosity reflecting the Renaissance spirit of the time? Certainly so. Although the Portuguese had also shown a pre-scientific interest and developed a “practical humanism” that was expressed in remarkable techniques and interesting skills. And there was also a “duty” demanded by the interests of the Crown/State, the Church, and the Nation - the three pillars that would later form the Modern Empire. |
