The history and geography of José Francisco Correia da Serra’s life (1751-1823) were marked by travels and periods of persecution: in his childhood, due to impending accusations of Judaism, he moved with his family to Italy; when he was 26 years old, after being ordained a priest, he returned to Portugal where he lived until 1795, the year he left to London. He lived there for six years, but was then forced to move to Paris; in 1812, he left to the United States of America, where he was appointed ambassador, and became friendly and adviser to Thomas Jefferson. Abbot Correia returned to Portugal, in 1821, but died two years later, having spent 52 years of his lifetime abroad. Throughout his life, he developed original scientific ideas, and partook of a worldview in which history, natural history, social organization and political projects were mutually dependent. As a leading figure of Portuguese Enlightenment, the estrangeirado (European-oriented intellectual) Correia da Serra was a naturalist of the world, recognised by his peers for his ideas and mediating skills as he often acted as a catalyst in the communication between different scientific communities.
