Joze Joaquim Da Cunha (ah-thay-vay'-do Cu-teen'-yo) Azevedo Coutinho
AZEVEDO COUTINHO, Joze Joaquim da Cunha (ah-thay-vay'-do cu-teen'-yo), Portuguese bishop, the last inquisitor-general of Portugal and Brazil, born in Campos dos Goitacazes, Brazil, 8 September 1742; died 12 September 1821. He studied at Coimbra in Portugal, received orders, and soon became prominent both in the Church and in politics. In 1794 he was made bishop of Pernambuco. In 1818 he was appointed inquisitor-general, and shortly before his death he was elected to the cortes. He published "Ensaio economico sobre o commercio de Portugal e suas colonias" (1792); a pamphlet against the proposed abolition of the slave-trade (1788); and a memoir on the conquest of Rio de Janeiro by Duguay-Trouin in 1711.
