Desde cedo, os promontórios foram sentidos como espaços de reflexão sobre o sobrenatural e os enigmas do quotidiano. O presente estudo procura ser mais um contributo no seio da investigação da costa Portuguesa mais ligada a Alcácer do Sal, no seu diálogo com o sagrado, frente ao Oceano. No presente caso, isolamos um horizonte cronológico e um troço específico da costa Portuguesa, localizada entre a foz do rio Tejo e o Algarve, procurando deste modo compreender como se processou a procura de Deus/Allāh nesta linha de costa durante o Período Islâmico.

The author describes chronologically the different sources he had access to and reflects on that information. He claims that this name comes from fi sabīl Allāh (a synomym of Ğihād ) practised in the River Sado valley at the end of the Islamic period.

The authors also analyse the rābiṭa (place of meditation) that existed in the Arrábida mountain range and stress the historic importance of Viking incursions off the coast of the Alentejo, which was particularly suited to the ribāṭ practice related to territory defence. Finally, they discuss the significance of an Arabic inscription found in the Sines castle that mentions the foundation of a rābiṭa in that place in 1009 AD (339 of the Hegira).

The perforated silver coin belongs to the assets of the Municipal Museum of Alcácer do Sal.
The author confronts this finding with the thesis - which has been defended in the past few years by many academics - according to which the perforation of Islamic coins in the al-Andalus did not occur during the Almohad Period due to the tiny size of the coins, particularly the silver ones. He also claims that the coin now studied can be seen as further proof of the sufi spirituality that marked that region at that time.

since 2000 of the existence of a madrasa in Alcácer do Sal
(Setúbal) in Almohad times, probably founded by Caliph
Ya’ qūb al-Manṣūr in the year 1191 (corresponding to year
587 in the Islamic calendar).
They now present new information and archaeological data:
based on the reality of Alcácer, they propose using a new
concept, proto-madrasa, which they consider to be more
appropriate to characterise a religious, administrative and
political teaching institution depending on the Islamic state,
but taking place in adapted pre-existing structures rather
than a specific architectural structure.

north of Alcácer do Sal. The author includes a transcription of recently identified documents, preceded by a brief historic contextualisation.

beside the castle entrance, the extinct church of N.ª Sr.ª da
Consolação was founded in the middle of the 15th century
as a private chapel, owned by the town’s Commander.
In the 16th century, it was ceded to the Order of Santiago,
which chose it to be the headquarters of the parish
by the same name.
The author’s aim is to stress the importance
of the building. Though privately owned and closed
to worship, the author believes it needs to be studied due
to its important role in the history of Alcácer do Sal.
KEY WORDS: Modern age; Heritage;

The author bases his analysis on a document from the reign of King D. Manuel I (1495-1521), which contains previous documentary information, dating from the 15th century. He admits that he had believed both toponyms to be more recent, from the middle of the 16th century, and recognises that this new chronology raises more
questions than solutions.

the Monastery and Convent of Nossa Senhora da Graça
in the township of Torrão (Alcácer do Sal).
The building stemmed from private initiative as a home
for female devouts of Saint Martha, in 1560. Decades later
it became a monastery (1599) and is now a convent,
whose history is but a scatter of random elements.
The author discloses new sources that explain the
development of this monastic community from Torrão,
and its religious, economic, cultural and educational role
in the town and region.

- Na primeira parte deste estudo, falamos do apoio divino de Santa Úrsula e das 11 000 Virgens, na expugnação de Alcácer em 1217 e da criação de um pólo de peregrinação na Capela das 11 000 Virgens anexa à Igreja conventual do Convento de Santo António. Falaremos da presença de Francisco Xavier e Simão Rodrigues em 1554, na aldeia de Palma (Alcácer do Sal) antes de o primeiro ter embarcado para a Índia e de o segundo ter ficado em Portugal.
- Na segunda parte do trabalho analisamos o naufrágio ocorrido na costa de Taiwan, de um junco Macaense que em 1582 ia a caminho de Nagasaki (長崎県) e da salvação miraculosa da sua tripulação constituída por mais de 290 pessoas, na maioria chineses Temos a presença de alguns portugueses e de 4 jesuítas Portugueses e Espanhóis, cujo milagre de terem sobrevivido foi atribuído a uma cabeça relíquia de uma virgem anónima do grupo das 11 000 Virgens.
O local exacto do naufrágio ainda é motivo de acesso debate na Historiografia de Taiwan. Neste trabalho, com base em fontes já
conhecidas e outras a que tivemos acesso (e aparentemente desconhecidas em Taiwan), procuramos reflectimos até que ponto este milagre foi sentido pelos chineses, que na sua quase maioria não seriam cristãos.
Na ligação entre as duas partes supra referidas, refletimos sobre a origem da cabeça relicário responsável pelo milagre ocorrido na costa da ilha Formosa (Taiwan), equacionando se essa relíquia que terá sido obtida na Alemanha, terá passado por Roma, ou se passou algum tempo no Convento de Santo António de Alcácer do Sal antes de seguir para a Índia (Goa).
O legado escravo foi importante, encontrando-se, salvo casos pontuais, muito ausente na documentação que identificamos para a região em contexto Filipino, contudo a ocupação deste território do Sadão começou muito antes. São estes e outros os elementos que iremos apresentar neste contributo para o estudo do Sertão Alcacerense, tal como é apresentado na Chancelaria Espatária de inícios do século XVII
O presente contributo tem como base de análise o Livro das Visitações efectuadas a este convento, por parte do Cabido e Arcebispo de Évora, ao longo do século XVIII, entre 1716 e 1766.
Nele temos acesso a aspectos do quotidiano conventual, assim como a outros elementos importantes que permitem equacionar até que ponto este aparente “oásis de mulheres religiosas em retiro do mundo secular”, geriam os conflitos que tinha entre si e quais os desvios detetados pelos Visitadores. A análise dos fólios torna patente o carater repressivo que os visitadores imponham, com penas que iam desde a privação de uso de Veo, até á prisão de freiras rebeldes ou em último caso, podiam resultar na excomunhão da freira prevaricadora.
Na impossibilidade de abordar todos os elementos disponíveis, procuraremos dar neste contributo os aspetos que julgamos mais interessantes para uma abordagem preliminar.
Nele abordaremos as questões ligadas aos desvios da vida regular, assim como outros curiosos, nomeadamente a existência de gatos como animais de companhia de algumas freiras, a ausência de cães, ou o qual o destino imediato que se davam às galinhas que entravam neste espaço religioso.
