Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a very important account by one of the most famous
missionaries of the sixteenth century, of marriage rules among the early Tupi of the region
of Sao Paulo. The present translation is taken from the original article published in the
REVISTA TRIMENSAL of the Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute for 1846. The
original manuscript is to be found in a much larger book of 215 pages, containing various
narratives written by Brazilian Jesuits at the close of the sixteenth century, and which
today resides in the Biblioteca Eborense. Pages 130-136 of the manuscript are taken up with
the Casamentos article. Whether the donor of the manuscript alluded to in the text, Adolpho
Varnhagen, gave the Institute the actual manuscript or merely a copy is not made clear,
but, whatever the situation, the Institute certainly possesses a facimile if not the real
thing.
