Abstract(s)
Na presente investigação, pretendemos divulgar a figura de Jacob Rodrigues Pereira, judeu de origem portuguesa, que ainda em criança foi obrigado a fugir com a família para França, a fim de escapar à vigilância apertada da inquisição. Benfeitor da humanidade, Jacob Rodrigues Pereira deixou à sociedade, particularmente aos surdos-mudos, o instrumento que os retirou da exclusão da convivência humanado: foi o inventor do alfabeto manual que permitiu a comunicação destes excluídos com o resto da sociedade. Tomámos como ponto de partida para esta investigação, um longo artigo da autoria de Pinheiro Chagas, publicado em 1868, no Jornal O Panorama, ao longo de quatro números. O contraste entre a fama de que este benfeitor goza em França, cujo nome batizou uma das principais avenidas de Paris, choca com o paradoxo de em Portugal ser uma figura tão ilustre quanto desconhecida.
In the present investigation, we intend to disclose the figure of Jacob Rodrigues Pereira, a Jew of Portuguese origin, whom as a child was forced to flee with his family to France in order to escape the close surveillance of the Inquisition. Benefactor of humanity, Jacob Rodrigues Pereira left the society, particularly the deaf-mute, the instrument that removed them from the exclusion of human coexistence: it was the inventor of the manual alphabet that allowed the communication of these excluded with the rest of society. We took as a starting point for this research a long article by Pinheiro Chagas, published in 1868, in O Panorama, along four issues. The contrast between the reputation that this benefactor enjoys in France, named after one of the main avenues in Paris, clashes with the paradox that in Portugal he is as illustrious as it is unknown.
