For the love of Santa Fé: the medieval city in the context of O continente and the origin of the Terra-Cambará family

The article proposes a reflection on the similarities between the city of Santa Fe in its formation, described by Erico Verissimo in the first two volumes of O tempo e o vento and the medieval city by Jacques Le Goff in Por amor às cidades: conversa es com Jean Lebrun, on the premise that the city, from its primordial days have been a magnet for pilgrims and families who decide to abandon the nomadic life in search of protection. The article focuses on Ana Terra e Um certo capit o Rodrigo chapters, which cover the period in which the village of Santa Fe is built like the generational process of the medieval city, kept their differences come from the obvious historical anachronism between american period romanticized by Veríssimo and the foudation of medieval european city.
