Zusammenfassung: | This article aims to compare the view on slavery in two medical books that circulated in colonial Brazil about slave diseases (one written and the other translated by surgeons working in Minas Gerais). The first of these is the medical treatise by Luis Gomes Ferreira, Erario mineral, published in Lisbon in the year 1735. The second is the translation made in 1801 by Antonio Vieira de Carvalho of the medical manual Observacoes sobre enfermidades dos negros, published in Paris in 1776. Comparing them will show: 1) that they are indicators of the ways in which slave relations of production were perceived in the richest and most urbanized captaincy of Portuguese America at different times of its historical experience; 2) that there were significant changes among them in relation to the form, ideological support and content of the way of seeing the world of captivity. Keywords: Slavery; Medical books of slave diseases; Colonial Brazil. Este artigo tem por objetivo comparar a visao sobre a escravidao em dois livros medicos, que circularam no Brasil colonial, sobre doencas de escravos (um escrito e o outro traduzido por cirurgioes que atuaram em Minas Gerais). O primeiro deles e o tratado medico de Luis Gomes Ferreira, Erario mineral, publicado em Lisboa no ano de 1735. O segundo e a traducao feita em 1801 por Antonio Vieira de Carvalho do manual medico Observacoes sobre enfermidades dos negros, publicado em Paris em 1776. Ao compara-los sera mostrado: 1) que eles sao indicadores das maneiras como as relacoes de producao escravistas foram percebidas na capitania mais rica e urbanizada da America portuguesa em epocas distintas de sua experiencia historica; 2) que houve mudancas significativas entre eles em relacao a forma, ao suporte ideologico e ao conteudo do modo de ver o mundo do cativeiro. Palavras-chave: Escravidao; Livros medicos sobre doencas de escravos; Brasil colonial. |
