Curiously, the “Fathers of Christians” involved in this process of manumission were several Jesuits until the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1759. The last four folios cover the year 1760 under a non-Jesuit, probably an Augustinian monk, appointed to take over the Old College of St Paul, while the Jesuits were detained before being deported.application/pdfapplication/pdf68934 bytesengopenAccessSLAVERYGOAMANUMISSIONPORTUGALAFRICAManumission of Slaves in Goa During 1682 to 1760 as found in Codex 860article
