Doces obrigações O exercício abacial no Mosteiro de Jesus de Setúbal - Séculos XVI a XVIII.

- Abstract
This study sets out to analyse a Franciscan contemplative community of nuns, of the Monastery of Jesus in Setúbal, both from a long term perspective by elaborating on the memorial and religious lines of the institution, and through a more focused reading of eighteenth century sources that provide us with sociological reconstructions of the lively daily habits of the community from 1710 to 1770. The rigor of the Order's institutional normative framework, enshrined in the Rules and Constitutions, particularly those of 1639, which circulated printed from 1693 onwards, were replaced by the micro-historic reality of the clares who evaded the rule, apparently without substantially renouncing to the coherence essential and inherent to the spiritual and social heritage of its founder(s): Saint Clare and Justa Rodrigues.
