The purpose of this research was to verify microbiological and yield indexes, sensorial attributes profile, acceptability and buy intention of fishburgers from residuals of mapará (Hypophthalmus spp.) from the fishery industry of Santarém -- Pará -- Brazil. The meat adhered to spines and skins (residuals) were extracted manually and this minced fish was submitted to washes using chlorinated water with pH (4.2; 5.2; 6.2 and 7.2) previously adjusted. Later, this minced fish was supplemented with various ingredients and shaped in circular format (80 g), resulting on fishburger, that was submitted to microbiological characterization (viability indicator) and yield determinations (on unwashed minced fish, washed minced fish and hamburger -- production indicators). The sensory analysis by 70 untrained judges verified the attributes profile and acceptation of fishburgers (commercial indicators). The bigger yield was obtained with water pH 7.2 and the microbiological indexes pointed the fishburger as adequate for human consumption. Sensorially, all the fishburgers obtained "I liked" as qualification. Although the water pH influenced on sensorial characteristics of fishburgers, is still recommended the neutral pH due the bigger yield and for adequation to actual Brazilian legislation. So, the viability of using mapará residuals for fishburger production is expressive due the positive tendence on the market, the security to consumer's health, potentials low cost of production and high index of the monetary aggregation.

As in many other merchant nations of early modern Europe, the communities of the Western Sephardic Diaspora assumed as one of their main responsibilities the social and religious duty of assisting their coreligionists, both within and beyond the boundaries of their congregations. Within this context, a wide range of charitable and social activities were provided directly by their communal governments, including travel allowances and grants for the needy and foreigners, as well as communal aid for captives and Jewish communities throughout the Holy Land. This article aims thus to understand how the philanthropic policies of Northern European Sephardic communities affected the lives of Jews in the Mediterranean basin and, conversely, how Jewish mobility to and from the Mediterranean impacted on these communities, their agents and their philanthropic networks, with the Portuguese-Jewish community of Hamburg in the seventeenth century being taken as a case study. This article is part of the special theme section on Mobility and Displacement in and around the Mediterranean: A Historical Approach, guest-edited by Cátia Antunes and Giedrė Blažytė.

This article deals with the fertile but still largely unexplored topic of communal justice in the Portuguese-Jewish congregations of the Sephardic diaspora during the seventeenth century. Focusing on the Portuguese community of Hamburg during the years 1652-1682, the study will try to answer some central questions regarding this particular case: how was justice administered within the Portuguese community of Hamburg? What where the main threats to its authority and how was litigation dealt with, internally? The treatment of this subject takes into consideration the broader multiconfessional and multijurisdictional reality in which it occurs, considering both internal reforms and occasional criticisms from inside the community. Finally, it aims to explore important facets of the relationship between institutional dynamics and private initiative, as well as to understand how the administration of justice serves as a broader reflection of the community’s social, economic and religious life. This article is part of the special theme section on Portuguese Jews in Europe and the Caribbean, 17th-18th Centuries, guest-edited by José Alberto Tavim.

Der Beitrag skizziert anhand des voraussichtlich 2019 erscheinenden Klosterbuchs für Schles- wig-Holstein und Hamburg Möglichkeiten und Probleme einer Heranziehung von Repertorium Germanicum und Repertorium Poenitentiariae Germanicum als Hilfsmittel. Mit der Eigenart des im Repertorium Germanicum präsentierten Materials, mit diversen Schwierigkeiten im Gebrauch des Repertorium Germanicum online – an deren Behebung gearbeitet wird – und durch den verbesserungswürdigen allgemeinen Forschungsstand zu den Verbindungen der Kirche im hohen Norden zur Kurie ergibt sich der Befund eines nur dürftigen Gebrauchs des Repertorium Germanicum im regionalhistorischen Bereich. Allerdings legen diverse Stichpro- ben nahe, dass im Repertorium Germanicum für den Bereich Schleswig-Holsteins noch man- ches verborgene Potential liegt.

The trade networks of the Portuguese Jews are usually considered to have been particularly extensive, dynamic and successful. Because of their common ethnic and religious background Portuguese Jews and New Christians are supposed to have shared a special commitment and solidarity towards each other benefiting their business. However, there are several arguments to challenge this assertion, indicating, on the contrary, that the Portuguese Jews had to overcome much greater impediments than the Christian merchants and that their trade networks were weaker.

The life of the Portuguese converso Manuel Bocarro Francês (Jacob Rosales after his reconversion to Judaism) presents the singular case of a complex trajectory in different European courts, where the pursuit of personal success as physician, astrologer and poet went hand in hand with the pursuit of a prophetic vision of the political role of his country. The article shows that the continuity of this trajectory was made possible by the formal attachment of Bocarro to a literary and linguistic framework determined by the imperial dreams of Portugal in the first half of the 17th century: to express the epic vision of a world submitted to the Portuguese monarchy, it had, even in a place as far as Hamburg, to use the forms codified by the literary tradition from Camões.
