Editions

Cadernos de Estudos Sefarditas is a biannual peer-reviewed journal, which is indexed to the international databases Latindex, Qualis/CAPES, WorldCat and Atla Religion Database.

Usque is a name that invokes the diaspora. Samuel, the author of Consolation for the Tribulations of Israel. Abraham, the printer of this masterpiece of Sephardic culture in exile that has become an inspiration. The Usque Collection is a CESAB editorial project dedicated to the critical edition of sources that are key to the knowledge of the multifaceted Sephardic Diaspora.

The Monographic Series Alberto Benveniste publishes monographs on the Sephardic diaspora, the Iberian Jewish communities, and other related subjects, as well as collective works resulting from the scientific activities organised by CESAB or in partnership with other research centres in Portugal and abroad.

The CESAB newsletter is an information bulletin about the activities and projects developed by the Cátedra de Estudos Sefarditas Alberto Benveniste. In its pages, we also publicise the most recent editions, as well as the initiatives in which the researchers of the centre took part or organised.

Monções Project

The Monções project – New Christians, Jews and those convicted of Judaism by the Inquisition of Goa – seeks to recover the identity and history of the defendants tried by the tribunal of the Holy Office of Goa for behaviours associated with Judaism.
