Bibliographic Details
Summary:The present dissertation aims to analyze a set of aspects that integrated and composed thecollegiate church and the parish of S. Bartolomeu of Coimbra, between the 12th and 15thcenturies. Given the importance of corresponding to the computerization of the contemporaryworld, we seek to develop this historical study based on a methodology, essentially computer-based, that reflects this adaptation and technological integration. Firstly, we unravel thedocumental sources that supported this dissertation and, then, the methodology, which is basedon the Timelink information system. Subsequently, we present the contextualization of thechurch and parish of S. Bartolomeu in the Middle Ages, briefly covering institutional andarchitectural aspects. We also address the real estate of the collegiate church of S. Bartolomeu,evoking its composition and location in the urban context. In the third and fourth parts of thestudy, we consider the three communities that S. Bartolomeu welcomed: an ecclesiasticalcommunity, a lay community and, finally, a community of people who were celebrated in thisparish. Based on the three identified communities, we develop an analysis which aims to reveal,firstly, the family communities residing in the parish of S. Bartolomeu, taking into account therelations of blood, marriage and service detected, and, secondly, the socio-professionalcommunities that the parishioners occupied. Finally, considering the set of people who werecelebrated and recorded in the Obituary of S. Bartolomeu, we analyze the conjuncture of deathin this institution between the 12th century and the 15th century, highlighting the link betweenlife and death through material donations. At last, we hope to achieve a revealing picture ofsocial, economic, cultural and urban aspects and tendencies that constituted the medieval settingof S. Bartolomeu.
