In sixteenth-century Lisbon, Aires Vaz and Manuel Rodrigues were summoned to the Inquisition on account of their astrological practices. Records of the trial of Vaz and Rodrigues provide valuable information regarding the training and practice of an astrologer in sixteenth-century Portugal. Prior to this study, however, our knowledge on these matters was scarce and mostly indirect. In this article, we argue that the study of these trial records is crucial to understanding both the practice and the regulation of astrology. Studies on the censorship of astrology usually emphasize the importance of the Roman Index, the Tridentine Rules, and the papal bulls against astrology. By looking at these two trials, this article sheds new light on the application of the Roman rules and allows us to trace the general profile of an astrologer in early modern Portugal.

禁书和皇家占星：近代早期葡萄牙占星学的实践和审查

在十六世纪的里斯本，艾利斯·瓦兹（Aires Vaz）和曼努埃尔·罗德里格斯（Manuel Rodrigues）因其占星术实践而被传唤至宗教裁判所。瓦兹和罗德里格斯的审判记录提供了有关十六世纪葡萄牙占星师培训和实践的宝贵信息。然而，在这项研究之前，我们对这些问题的了解很少，而且大多是间接的。在本文中，我们认为研究这些试验记录对于理解占星术的实践和监管至关重要。关于占星学审查制度的研究通常强调罗马指数、特伦丁规则和反对占星学的教皇训令的重要性。通过研究这两个试验，本文为罗马规则的应用提供了新的线索，并使我们能够追踪近代早期葡萄牙占星家的概况。
