Jacobeia e redes clientelares. Fr. Luís de Santa Teresa e Fr. Jo o da Cruz (O.C.D.): (Auto) retrato de dois irm os em Braga (1730-1735)

With the present paper we will highlight the Jacobean profile of Fr. Luís de Santa Teresa (O.C.D.), based on the biography he wrote about a Benedictine, during the period he lived in Braga, from 1730 to 1735. The biographical analysis will establish his circle of clientelistic relations with ties in Fr. Jo o da Cruz (O.C.D.), Fr. Gaspar da Encarna o, D. Louren o de Mendon a e Moura and D. Rodrigo de Moura Teles. Aspects of that period spent in Braga and of monastic experience of Benedictine nuns in the Convent of S. Salvador will be raised, weighing the Jacobean profile of the biographer in a context of vacant See and resistance to the affectionate paths of union with God, inspired in Molino’s doctrine.
