Contextpo: ss un comentario sobre los a"uxiliares negros" que al comienzo de la Revolución Haitiana se aliaron con España. Mi impresión es que el remitente (el arzobispo de Santo Domingo) está comparando los eventos a los de los atamanes / otaman de los cosacos.
"por más que en ella [la carta] me pondere y abulte la expedición de su #Otermano, de quien dice que no llevaba orden de aposesionarse al #Can mismo, que salió a invadir, y ganó"
Os habéis topado alguna vez con el término “otermano” como grafía de “atamán” (cosaco)? No le encuentro ningún otro sentido en esta línea, pero quizá ojos más listos que los míos sí. También leo “Can” y pienso en “Khan”, en relación con el levantamiento de Pugachёv (1773–75).
Gracias! #skystorians
Good to see the corrections and additions to this article, including the contribution of independent researcher Dawnanna Kreeger. Bit of a missed opportunity though to also elaborate on the original researcher, Cathey O'Neill.

Long shot: any1 ever come across a #Laight family in #NewYork in the 1820s, with ties to #Haiti?
Tiny info I have: father=Henry, daughter=Maria. She's not a native writer of French, requests orange jams (!) from Modeste Pigeon in Port-au-P., is v. religious.
Thanks #skystorians 's hivemind!

Interested in developing a postdoc project in #EarlyModern global religious #history & applying for a #MSCA?
A colleague at the Uni of Teramo (🇮🇹) is looking for candidates & offers supervision + support with the application process.
Feel free to get in touch

#Boyer also urged the popes to condemn #slavery in Africa, the "birthplace of Jesus."
It took many years—& many white smokes—including the one that elected #LeoXIII. 🇮🇹 media will hopefully soon acknowledge the new Pope’s complex roots, rather than pinning them to this or that 🇮🇹 region.
King Henry of #Haiti might say "told u so". He advocated for #Afrodescendants to access the priesthood. While the Holy See ignored his pleas, he had clergy: of mixed descent from #LatAm, & European critical of the Church's silence on #slavery.
