As redes mercantis no final do século XVI e a figura do mercador João Nunes Correia / The commercial network in the final of the 16th century and João Nunes Correia

Silvia Carvalho Ricardo

The european maritime expansion of the 15th and 16th centuries as well as the mercantile activities inherent to it provoked a geographical spread of trading centers in addition to supply sources of merchandise situated in Asia, Africa and America. The complexity of the new trade demanded a reorganization of agreements and finances and imposed a new relationship between the merchants and the Portuguese and Spanish Crowns. In this context, the families of new-Christian merchants were outstanding in transcontinental dealings as well as in the finances of intra- and extra-European countries, organizing themselves into a world trading network. This commercial expansion attracted people to economically dynamic locations, such as the sugarproducing Northeast of Brazil during the second half of the 16th century. This prolific immigration coincides with the recrudescence of the Portuguese inquisitorial activities. Commercial networks connected to sugar integrated and interconnected to more complex networks, present in the most diverse and relevant segments of world trade, were formed. João Nunes Correia was a distinguished member of a large network in the sugar trade, active in both the financing of production and the organization of the sugar enterprise in Brazil and its entry into world trade
