Abstract: A morte em Coimbra constitui um novo olhar sobre a interpretação feita aos registos de óbito da cidade, compreendidos entre 1750 e 1777. A partir da consulta destas fontes, e da Memória Paroquial de Coimbra, de 1758, alcançámos a definição dos traços e tendências demográficas, como os ciclos e picos da mortalidade anuais. As atitudes e comportamentos perante a morte, religiosidade e assistência social que caracterizaram parte da sociedade coimbrã setecentista estiveram no centro da nossa atenção. Para isso, procurámos aferir e compreender a administração de sacramentos, a “política” de inumações, a ação da Misericórdia e irmandades e a prática testamentária em Coimbra, no reinado de D. José.
Death in Coimbra constitutes a new look at the interpretation of death records of the city, between 1750 and 1777. From the query of these sources and the memories of the parish of Coimbra, dating 1758, it was possible to reach the definition of demographic trends, such as the cycles and peaks of the annual mortality. The attitudes and behaviors towards death, religion and social assistance that characterized part of the eighteenth-century Coimbra society were at the center of our attention. For that, it was intended to assess and understand the administration of the sacraments, the burial “politics”, the work of Mercy and brotherhood and testamentary practice in Coimbra, during the reign of king José.
