| Sumario: | The purpose of this article is to briefly present two points of the Anti-Slavery Project developed by Francisco José de Jaca, OFM Cap (1645-1689) and Epifanio de Moirans, OFM Cap (1644-1689). These points refer to the discourse of Jaca and Moirans about the titles of slavery and the trading of slaves. Through the presentation of these two points it can be perceived that these Capuchin missionaries were very committed to the defense of the freedom of the African slaves. Unlike other authors who had written about black slavery, Jaca and Moirans took on the role of advocates for African slaves and, in a prophetic way, were not afraid to denounce the injustices of the trade and to preach the manumission of all African slaves. |
