Abstract(s)
Esta dissertação de mestrado tem por base a investigação que realizamos acerca
da forma e conteúdo da coleção de registos de santos reunida por D. Gabriel de Sousa
(1912-1997) e que atualmente pertence a um particular. Da vasta coleção de cerca de
quinhentos registos de santos em papel e pergaminho fazemos incidir o nosso estudo
numa amostra de oitenta e um registos que estiveram na base da realização de uma
exposição e de um ciclo de conferências em que se abordaram os registos de santos do
ponto de vista formal (gravados e em painéis de azulejo), do ponto de vista etnográfico
e social (realização de círios) e do ponto de vista comercial da venda dos registos
(principais casas de impressão e de comércio). Todas estas vertentes encontram-se
presentes na coleção de D. Gabriel de Sousa e são expostas ao longo deste trabalho.
Não é nosso propósito debruçarmo-nos sobre a oportunidade e correção da
forma como a coleção se encontra compilada, mas sim, observá-la como um conjunto
que foi reunido ao longo de um período de tempo e cuja organização demonstra um
conhecimento, por parte do colecionador, que excede a simples fruição e curiosidade. D.
Gabriel de Sousa dividiu a coleção em duas áreas distintas, organizando-as por temas,
autorias e invocações: registos artísticos e registos populares acrescentando diversas
notas datilografadas descritivas dos conteúdos da coleção.
O nosso estudo, também, pretende apresentar uma coleção que poderá ter sido
iniciada por fruição mas que permite ler, nas entrelinhas, o esforço que D. Gabriel de
Sousa colocou na sua organização e cuja interpretação nos poderá auxiliar a entender
melhor o colecionismo português, na esfera do privado, na primeira metade do século
XX.
This master thesis is based on a research conducted about the form and content of the collection of records of saints gathered by D. Gabriel de Sousa (1912-1997) that currently belongs to a private collector. From the vast collection of records of about five hundred saints in parchment and paper we focused our study on eighty-one records that served as a basis to the making of an exhibition and a series of conferences in which the records of saints were approached formally (in their printed format and in tile panels), from an ethnographic, social (processions and other religious festivities) and commercial viewpoints (major printing houses and records trading). All these aspects are present in the collection of D. Gabriel de Sousa and are exposed along this work. Rather than drawing over the sense of opportunity and correctness of the way the collection is compiled, our purpose is to observe it as a set that was gathered over a period of time and whose organization demonstrates an understanding by its creator that exceeds simple curiosity. D. Gabriel de Sousa split the collection into two distinct areas, organizing them by themes, authorship and invocations: artistic records and popular records, both annotated. Our study aims to present a collection that may have been initiated for enjoyment that reveals in a parallel reading the effort D. Gabriel de Sousa put in organizing it and whose interpretation may help us better understand Portuguese art colleting, in the private sphere of the first half of the twentieth century.
