Une proposition de traduction du sixième commandement de Dieu dans un livre de confession Tupi de l'Amazonie (1751)

A proposal for the translation of the sixth commandment in a Tupi confessionary from Amazonia, 1751

Abstract

The present article transcribes and translates into Portuguese questions relating to the Sixth Commandment taken from a 1751 Tupi confessionary from Pará which currently resides in the Brazilian National Library in Rio de Janeiro. Our translation is based on linguistic methodology using colonial Tupi dictionaries and we have carried out an analysis of the Tupi radicals used by missionaries to translate concepts of Christian sexuality.
