Abstract

The fact that Goa was the only extra-peninsular seat of a Holy Office tribunal in the domains of the Portuguese Crown gave the "Inquisition of India" a unique feature in the context of Portuguese inquisitorial districts. However, even if its non peninsular character immediately displays the tribunal's originality, the spatial argument doesn't explain, in itself, whether this variable came to affect the institutional procedures followed in Goa. In this essay I'll aim to objectify the specificity of the Goa Inquisition from a geographical and social characterization of its district.
