Abstract

Arthur de Barros Basto (Amarante, 1887–1961), known as the “Apostle of the Marranos” and the “Portuguese Dreyfus”, returned to Judaism in 1920. After centuries of repression, it could flourish in the young Republic identically to every religion. But flourishing meant resuscitating. Whereas in the 1930’s Sionism was spreading in the European political and intellectual circles, Barros Basto committed into resuscitating Israel in his own country. He became internationally famous, gaining means and strength to achieve his mission, turning a public figure that this paper aims at shaping through contemporary testimonies and travel narratives.
