Rousing Send-Off of Troops for the War of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation 331. A los libertadores del Peru. Cancion. Coro. Compatriotas: llegó ya el momento / De marchar al Perú con valor ....

This rousing send-off to Chilean troops embarking to fight in the War of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation was probably published either in 1836, when General Blanco Encalada was leading the expedition, or in 1838, when General Manuel Bulnes led a second (successful) expedition. The poet mentions the sixteenth- century Mapuche leaders Colocolo, Lautaro, and Rengo as immortal models of courage, and the vil opresor General Santa Cruz (president of the Confederation). j Briseño I, 186.

332. [LIMA, Alexandre Antonio de]. Benteida, ou novo methamorfose poema jocoheroico de Andronio Meliante Laxaed. Recordam-se nelle as acçoens do Grande Bento Antonio em quanto homem: offerecido a elle mesmo em quanto mulher, na pessoa da Senhora Dona Benta Assafata ad honorem noves fora os Bigodes.

Missing a blank leaf at the end. $300.00 FIRST EDITION of this poem in three cantos of oitava rythma, considered the author’s principal work. It satirizes persons of its day, but most if not all of its satire is an enigma to today’s reader. Andronio Meliante Laxaed is an anagram for the true name of the author, Alexandre António de Lima. There was a second edition, Barcelos, 1876. Alexandre António de Lima (1699-1760), a native of Lisbon, was a member of the Academia dos Occultos and the Academia dos Applicados. He is said to have written some of the pieces included in later editions of António José da Silva’s Teatro cómico português. Two of the OCLC records call for 90 pp. However, upon reading online the copy in the Thomas Fischer Rare Book Library-University of Toronto, it was revealed that the final two pages are blank. In all other respects our copy is identical to the Toronto copy. j Innocêncio I, 27-8 (calling for 88 unnumbered pp., and claiming that there are two editions with identical imprints and collations, but with different typography).

Finally, from p. 213 to the end is a combination of prose and verse titled “Sonhava o cego, que via. Pois que he o que via o Cego?” Alexandre António de Lima (1699-1760), a native of Lisbon, was a member of the Academia dos Ocultos and the Academia dos Aplicados.

Lobo Vianna, 1835. 12°, original printed wrappers (backed with pink paper). Light browning. Overall in good to very good condition. 24 pp. $150.00 First published 1834. The author of this poem was a native of Porto who moved to Brazil when very young, in 1810. Although he eventually returned to Portugal, he continued his interest in Brazil, publishing articles in various journals and helping to establish the Sociedade de Beneficencia Brazileira in Lisbon. D. Pedro is probably unique in having abdicated from two thrones on two different continents. He was the first ruler of Brazil after it declared its independence of Portugal, ruling as Emperor Pedro I from October 12, 1822 until April 7, 1831, when he resigned in favor of his son, D. Pedro II. He also reigned as King Pedro IV of Portugal from March 10, 1826, until May 2 of the same year, when he abdicated in favor of his daughter, D. Maria II. He died of tuberculosis in 1834, a few months after the liberals had triumphed in Portugal. j Innocêncio IX, 99 (without collation). See Sacramento Blake II, 147-8. Not in Bosch.

First Edition of One of Lima’s Best Works, Inscribed to the Poet Alberto de Serpa 336. LIMA, Jorge [Mateus] de. A tunica inconsutil. Poesia. Guanabara: Cooperativa Cultural, 1938. 8°, original printed wrappers (spine browned, chipping at foot; front cover weakly attached). Minor foxing. Overall good. Author’s signed and dated presentation inscription to the Portuguese poet Alberto de Serpa: “Ao irmão distante // — Alberto de Serpa, // sempre lembrada e // admirado off: // Jorge de Lima // 1.9.38”. Portrait, (1 l.), 320 pp., (2 ll.), with errata slip pasted to first leaf. $500.00 FIRST EDITION of the work that won the Grand Prize for Poetry from the Brazilian Academy of Letters in 1940, and which Mário de Andrade called “one of the best [works] he has yet produced.... full of the richest and the most surprising imagination.” Jorge Mateus de Lima (1895-1953), a native of União dos Palmares (Alagoas), was a prominent Modernist poet and co-founder of the Northeastern school. He is “acclaimed as one of the most spontaneous natural poetic geniuses of Brazilian literature, [but] he is considered by some to be a perpetually dissatisfied poet in search of new worlds to conquer and never content with his own brilliant performance” (Stern pp. 176-77). In 1931 Lima moved to Rio de Janeiro and began teaching Brazilian literature. His earlier works included, in verse, the precocious XIV Alexandrinos, 1914; O mundo do menino impossível, 8 richard c. ramer

1925; Poemas, 1927; and A comédia dos erros, 1923. Although known primarily as a poet, he also wrote novels, children’s literature and art criticism. The influences on his work range from Parnassianism to Symbolism, Modernism and Surrealism. Lima is closely linked with José Lins do Rego in the founding of the Northeastern school. As a young man Lima was torn between becoming a physician or a priest, and although he studied to be the former, many of his writings reflect a religious tempera- ment that seems to have become stronger toward the end of his life, for example in Tempo e eternidade, 1935, and in this work of 1938. The “seamless garment” of the title refers to John 19:23-24, when the soldiers who had crucified Christ decided not to tear his tunic into pieces. Provenance: Alberto de Serpa Esteves de Oliveira (1906–1992), poet, dramatist, essayist and book collector, attended Coimbra University for 3 years but was more interested in collaborating with the writers of Presença than in studying. He published his first novel at age 17 (Saudade do mar, 1923) and 2 collections of poetry a year later (Quadras and Evoé). But it was 2 later collections, Varanda, 1934 and Vinte poemas da noite, 1935, that led to his unanimous recognition by critics as an important modern poet. Casais Monteiro says that Serpa, along with Branquinho da Fonseca, Carlos Queirós and Fran- cisco Bugalho, give us “um novo aspecto do abandono egoísta a um eu inadaptado à acção …[Serpa] tem, na poesia, não uma via de contacto com a realidade, mas, por assim dizer, um instrumento a cuja música embala a sua dolorosa impressão de diferença e de incompatibilidade” (p. 239). After his years in Coimbra, Serpa returned to his native Porto and became an insurance broker. He was imprisoned for political reasons in 1936, and at the same period became once again a fervent Catholic. Throughout his life he contributed to Portuguese literary reviews, including A Águia, Aventura, Cadernos de poesia, Cavalo de todas as cores (co-editor), Diálogo, Momento, Presença (editor of the second series, 1939-40), Quatro ventos and Tríptico. For Alberto de Serpa, see the following: Casais Monteiro, Poesia portuguesa contemporânea pp. 239-45; Saraiva & Lopes, História da literatura portuguesa (16th edition) pp. 1063, 1067; Grande enciclopédia XXVIII, 456-7.

*340. LOBO, Francisco Rodrigues. O pastor peregrino. Maria Lúcilia Gonçalves Pires, ed. Lisbon: Vega, 2004. Obras Clássicas da Literatura Portuguesa, Século XVII, 152. Large 8°, original printed wrappers. As new. 308 pp. ISBN: 972-699-801-8. $48.00 SECOND PORTUGUESE PASTORAL NOVEL, in verse. The first edition appeared in 1608, the same year of the second edition of the first Portuguese pastoral novel, Rodrigues Lobo’s A primavera, of which this is a sequel. The second edition, the last to appear during the author’s lifetime, was published in 1619. There are also editions of 1651 and 1670. The present edition is based on that of 1618, which does not differ significantly from that of 1608, but using the earlier edition to correct some errors in the 1618 edition. Rodrigues Lobo was a champion of the Portuguese language who had a significant impact on the formation of the baroque style throughout the Iberian Peninsula. “Entre os discípulos de Camões, mas distinguindo–se …. justifica–se pela posição central que ocupa na ficção bucólica maneirista, embora não possamos deixar de o ter em mente como teorizador ou preceptista da literatura, e ainda como poeta lírico.”—Saraiva & Lopes, Históra da Literatura Portuguesa (9th edition) p. 427. Forjaz de Sampaio called him the greatest Portuguese bucolic poet. The fame of this important author “rests chiefly on his three pastoral works of mingled prose and verse: A Primavera (1601) and its second and third parts O Pastor Peregrino (1608) and O Desenganado (1614)…. Look into them where you will, beautiful descriptions, showing deep love of Nature, will present themselves, and delightful verse and harmonious prose, excellent in its component parts ….”—Bell, Portuguese Literature, pp. 153–4. Bell also writes of Rodrigues Lobo’s “great and enduring fame.”—p. 155. Each part of this trilogy stands on its own as a separate work; the first editions of each are rare, and all seventeeth-century editions are rather scarce. Through a manuscript of a trial before the Inquisition of Miguel Lobo, the author’s brother, it has become known that his father was a New Christian, while his mother was half New Christian; thus Rodrigues Lobo was three quarters Jewish in inheritance. It is clear, on the other hand, that the family had attained a status, albeit shaky, of borderline petty nobility, and that Rodrigues Lobo identified with the Catholic nobility. 12 richard c. ramer

Praise for the Dowager Princess of Brazil, Funding a Military Hospital 341. LOBO, Roque Ferreira. Panegyrico em louvor da Serenissima Princeza do Brasil a Senhora D. Maria Francisca Benedicta, pela sua fundação de hum hospital para militares invalidos, na sua quinta do lugar de Runa, termo da villa de Torres Vedras: que tem a honra de consagrar com todo o respeito a Sua Alteza. Lisbon: Na Regia Typografia Silviana, 1826. 4°, disbound. Woodcut royal Portuguese arms on title page. Some light soiling to title page. Internally clean and crisp. Overall in good condition. Old octagonal tag with blue border and manuscript shelf mark (“8”) in upper outer blank corner of title page. 18 pp. $300.00 First edition thus, or perhaps first edition. Although Innocêncio mentions anOração gratulatoria á Ser[enissi]ma princeza do Brasil, a Ser[enissi]ma Srª D. Maria Francisca Benedicta, mandando fundar um sumptuoso edificio para hospital de invalidos, no logar de Runa, Lisbon, 1793, he describes it as a 4º with 23 pages. (The copy located in Porbase has the same date and collation as ours.) The Oração may have had the oration included here on pp. 8-12, but it cannot have had the description of the dowager princess’s visit to the work in progress on the hospital that was made in 1794. This work includes a sonnet to the Dowager Princess of Brazil D. Maria Francisca Benedicta, a record of the inscriptions on the hospital, and an oration to her in which the author describes what makes this hospital unique. The final section (pp. 13-18) describes the princess’s visit (with many notables) to the hospital in September 1794, while it was in its early stages. The hospital was dedicated in 1827, on the dowager princess’s eighty-first birthday. D. Maria Francisca Benedita (b. 1746) was the youngest child of D. José I (d. 1777) and the widow and aunt of D. Maria I’s eldest son, D. José, Duque de Bragança and Príncipe do Brasil. In 1788 her husband D. José died of smallpox at age 27, without issue. His wife, styled the dowager princess of Brazil, lived until 1829. Rather than founding convents or churches, in the tradition of most dowagers, D. Maria Francisca Benedita founded a military hospital, the Asilo de Inválidos Militares de Runa (in Torres Vedras), which is now a home for retired military personnel, the Centro de Apoio Social de Runa. Roque Ferreira Lobo (1743–1828) was a native of Torres Vedras. He worked in the postal administration and then for the municipal government of Lisbon. j Innocêncio VII, 187: giving the date as 1826? and without collation, and with an incorrect transcription of the title; appears never to have seen a copy; but see p. 460, with correct transcription of title page, date of publication, and collation, indicating that an edition with 23 pp. had appeared in 1793.

346. MACEDO, Joaquim Manoel de. A nebulosa. Rio de Janeiro: Typographia Imp. e Const. de J. Villeneuve e C., 1857. Large 8°, contemporary navy quarter sheep over marbled boards (some wear at corners; other extremities), flat spine with gilt fillets and title, text-block edges sprinkled blue. Scattered light foxing. In very good condition. (4 ll.), 293 pp., (1 l. errata). $850.00 FIRST EDITION. A second editon appeared in Rio de Janeiro, published by Garnier [1870?]; another edition was published by Garnier, Rio de Janeiro, 1902 . Veríssimo, an exacting critic, considers this not only one of Macedo’s best works, but one of the best Brazilian Romantic poems: “Num momento de feliz inspiração escreveu Macedo A nebulosa, poema não só romântico de intenção e de escola, mas nimiamente romanesco … há neste único poema de Macedo grandes belezas de poesia e expressão” (pp. 161-2). Macedo (1820-1882), a native of Itaboraí, Rio de Janeiro, is usually considered the first Brazilian novelist.A Moreninha, published in 1844, was a tremendous popular success and is still read today. Macedo’s influence as a novelist was very great. He was also an important force in Brazilian theater: O primo da Califórnia is usually cited as the first work of Realist theater in Brazil. Macedo was one of the most prolific authors Brazil has ever produced, with some twenty novels, twelve dramas, and ten other works to his credit. His evaluation by the critics is another matter: Carpeaux points out that critics turned against him in inverse proportion to his popular success. Bandeira, for example, calls A Moreninha “a highly romantic story, sentimental to the point of stickiness” (p. 84). A more accurate historical evaluation is given by Benedicto (quoted in Goldberg, pp. 93-4): “If we wish to judge him in comparison with [José de Alencar, Taunay, or Machado de Assis] or with the writers of today, his work pales …. But accepting him in the time for which he wrote, when the novel had not yet received the Flaubertian esthetics that ennobled it and had not been enriched by the realistic genius of Zola—beside his contemporaries Teixeira de Souza, Manoel de Almeida and Bernardo Guimarães, he seems to us living, picturesque, colorful, as indeed he is.

Epic Poem on Vasco da Gama 347. MACEDO, José Agostinho de. Gama, poema narrativo. Lisbon: Na Impressão Regia, 1811. 8°, contemporary tree sheep (recased, relatively recent endleaves; small defect to rear cover at joint near foot of spine; small hole near head of spine; other minor binding wear), flat spine with gilt fillets and maroon leather lettering piece with short author, title in gilt, covers with gilt-tooled borders, edges of covers milled, marbled endleaves, text-block edges tinted green. Woodcut Portuguese royal arms on title page. Minor soiling to title page. Some ink doodles on pp. 48, 190. Short annotation scored on p. 51. Overall in good to very good condition. xv, (1), 266 pp. $400.00 FIRST EDITION, very different from subsequent ones, of this epic poem of ten cantos in oitava rima about Vasco da Gama’s discovery of the sea route to India. Similar in theme to Camões Lusíadas, this was Macedo’s attempt to supercede Camões as Portugal’s greatest poet. He believed his present epic (reworked and published as O Oriente, 1814, with twelve cantos, and significantly revised again when it appeared in 1827), could have taught Camões how Os Lusíadas should have been written. When the public reception for O Oriente was less than enthusiastic, he published Censura dos Lusíadas, a detailed and virulent critique of Camões. José Agostinho de Macedo (1761-1831) was a prolific writer of prose and verse, best known for his aggressive pamphleteering on behalf of the absolutists: “Ponderous and angry like a lesser Samuel Johnson, he bullies and crushes his opponents in the raciest vernacular ... his idiomatic and vigorous prose will always be read with pleasure” (Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 282). Along with Bocage (who became a bitter enemy), Macedo founded the Nova Arcádia. He was also a member of the Arcádia de Roma, using the name Elmiro Tagideu. His high literary reputation among contemporaries proved ephemeral. As a young man, Macedo caused so much trouble within the Augustinian Order that he was unfrocked in 1792, but an influential friend helped him retain his ecclesiastical status by obtaining a brief of secularization. Soon becoming a leading pulpit orator, he was named royal preacher in 1802. Macedo is notorious for his arrogance in literary matters: in addition to his opinions about Camões, he condemned as worthless Homer’s poems, which he had never read in the original. In Os Burros, a satirical poem published 1812-1814, Macedo skewered a host of men and women, living and dead. Barbosa du Bocage’s satirical poem Pena de Taliao was provoked by Macedo: “Expõe no tribunal da eternidade / Monumentos de audacia, e não de engenho ....” j Innocêncio IV, 185-6.

Engraved portrait of Newton, 151 pp. $250.00 Second edition, corrected and enlarged: where the first edition, Lisbon 1813, had 2,703 verses, this edition has 2,795. The engraved portrait did not appear in the first edition, nor did the introductory essay, “A Fisica, ou alguma de suas partas, he, ou pode ser digna materia da poezia sublime?” (pp. 3-23). Newton, later expanded and published as Viagem extatica ao Templo da Sabedoria (1830), was composed because Macedo felt that Newton had conferred greater benefits on humanity than many a conqueror. José Agostinho de Macedo (1761-1831), a prolific author of poetry and prose, became a secular priest after his expulsion from the Augustinian Order (for, among other misdemeanors, the systematic theft of books), and a staunch champion of law and order. Toward the end of his life he became Court preacher and chronicler, and a friend of Dom Miguel. His colossal arrogance led him to believe Homer’s poems, which he could not read in the original, were worthless, and also led him to write Gama (1811), reworked and published under the title O Oriente in 1814, in which he purported to show how Camões should have written Os Lusiadas. Provenance: Bernardino Ribeiro de Carvalho (1846–1910), born in the freguesia de Cabaços, concelho de Alvaiázere, came to Lisbon, was brought into the business of his uncle / father–in–law, and acquired a great fortune importing exotic lumber. He was a passionate book collector, frequenting auctions and bookshops from the 1860s until shortly prior to his death. Among the sales he attended and purchased at were those of Sir Gubian (1867), the Visconde de Juromenha (1887), José da Silva Mendes and Jorge César de Figanière (1889), the Condes de Linhares (1895), and José Maria Nepomuceno (1887). j Innocêncio IV, 186.

Slight browning, occasional light foxing. Uncut and unopened. In good to very good condition. 263 pp., (1 p. errata). $100.00 Fourth [?] edition of this intensely patriotic and religious poem in 10 cantos, which paints the Jesuits as heroic defenders of the Indians against the Portuguese exploiters. The first edition appeared in Rio de Janeiro, 1856. The Tamoyo Confederation (1554-1567), an alliance of Indians along the coast of Brazil from Santos to Rio de Janeiro, was provoked by the maltreatment of the Tupinambá at the hands of the Portuguese colonizers. Gonçalves de Magalhães (1811-1882, a native of Rio de Janeiro) was an important author of nineteenth-century Brazilian fiction and poetry. Inspired by the European Romantics, he founded Niterói: Revista brasiliense in Paris in 1836, and was considered the senior member of the new Romantic school when he returned to Brazil. His notable work in the Romantic style is Suspiros poeticos e saudades, Paris 1836. In his later works, including the Confederação and Antônio José, he returned to a more classicizing style. Magalhães’s work has suffered the extremes of lavish praise and bitter condemnation. His contemporary José de Alencar said of the Confederação, “Bem sei que o Sr. Magalhães não teve pretensões de fazer uma Ilíada ou Odisséia americana; mas quem não é Homero deve ao menos procurar imitar os mestres; quem não é capaz de criar um poema, deve ao menos criar no poema alguma coisa” (quoted in Nossos Clássicos 55, p. 107; see also 22 richard c. ramer pp. 10-12). Putnam, on the other hand Putnam, calls him “one of the greatest poets that Brazil has produced … he is near to being the national poet, one who was enthusiastically acclaimed by the people even before he was by the elite” (p. 111). The Tamoyo Confederation (Confederação dos Tamoios in Portuguese language) was a military alliance of aboriginal chieftains of the sea coast ranging from what is today Santos to Rio de Janeiro, which occurred from 1554 to 1567. The main reason for this rather unusual alliance between separate tribes was to react against slavery and wholesale murder and destruction wrought by the early Portuguese discoverers and colonisers of Brazil onto the Tupinambá Indians j Innocêncio IX, 142-3.

On Maria I’s Ascension to the Throne 364. [MATTOS, João Xavier de]. Á faustissima acclamação d’Augustissima D. Maria I, Rainha de Portugal e Senhora Nossa. Lisbon: Na Regia Officina Typografica, 1777. 4°, modern plain wrappers. Woodcut Portuguese royal arms on title page. Some small dampstains throughout. Overall in good condition. 27 pp. $100.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this cancão in 49 stanzas that honors D. Maria I’s ascension to the throne. The author’s name is printed at the end. D. Maria (b. 1734) became Portugal’s first queen regnant on February 24, 1777, after the death of her father D. José I. She reigned until her death in 1816, although by 1792 she was suffering such severe mental illness that her son, the future D. João VI, ruled in her stead (as regent starting in 1799). Mattos was quite a popular writer of poetry in his time (praised even by Bocage), although he has been mostly forgotten since. He favored the Italian style and took Camões as his model. Innocêncio, in a tone almost parental in its severe disapproval, says that Mattos gave up a decent career as a magistrate (ouvidor in Vidigueira) to devote himself to writing: his name “foi n’outro tempo tão applaudido, e popular, quanto são hoje ignoradas as circumstancias da sua vida e profissão.” According to Innocêncio’s sources, which he notes are unverified, Mattos was born in Lisbon and studied law at Coimbra University; he died in Frades (Alentejo) in 1789. Mattos’s earliest poems were gathered together in Rimas, which appeared in 1770 and in several later editions, with added volumes. j Not in Innocêncio; for other works by the author, see IV, 54, 438; X, 376; XI, 310; Aditamentos p. 206.

Small hole at edge of title page (.75 cm), small brown stain at fore-edge of next leaf, but overall in very good condition. Remains of octagonal paper tag with blue edge on reinforcement strip. 13 pp. $400.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this playful defense of the use of the mantilla, in 30 8-line stanzas, including: Tempos houve, em que a amavel formosura Era quanto mais rare, mais guardada; Hoje, ao contrario, huma gentil figura Quanto mais graças tem, mais he mostrada. Mantillas were popular in Spain and Portugal throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. By the early nineteenth century, when this poem was composed, they were falling out of fashion, which our author laments. Barely a decade later they had a brief revival in Spain under D. Isabella II (1833-1868), who encouraged their use among her ladies at court. By the end of the nineteenth century they were again out of fashion, and today they are mostly worn only on special occasions: bullfights, weddings, and Holy Week. The author, a native of Porto, was blinded at the age of 2 by a fever, but nevertheless published many poems and dramas. j Innocêncio I, 163. Not located in OCLC.

João VI (13 May 1767-10 March 1826). The author, born in Porto ca. 1793-96, was blinded at the age of 2 by a fever, but nevertheless published many poems and dramas. The date of his death is unknown. Presumably he was still alive when Uma poeta nonagenario despedindo-se da sua musa e cantando a sua vida was published in Porto, 1883. j Innocêncio does not mention this work, but at I, 163 lists A deplorada morte do nosso verdadeiro pae, Imperador, e Rei o senhor D.

Not located in Copac. BOUND WITH: MELLO, Antonio Joaquim de Mesquita e, and José Agostinho de Macedo. Fair copies [?] of two letters in ink, on paper, in Portuguese. Large 4º (25 x 20 cm.), stitched to the preceding item. Both letters written in ink, in the same small, very legible hand. Light browning. Overall in very good to fine condition. (2 ll., the first letter on recto and verso, the second on recto only). In the first letter, dated 8 April 1826, José Agostinho de Macedo writes to Mesquita e Mello to acknowledge receipt of an Elegia, another poem written by Mesquita e Mello following the death of D. João VI. Macedo hails Mesquita e Mello’s Elegia as “excel- lente, e mui judicioza e sublime” and compares its author to the great blind poets such as Homer and La Moth. Macedo had been asked to speak a funeral oration for D. João, and promised to send a copy of the oration to Mesquita e Mello. In the second letter, dated 14 April 1826, Mesquita e Mello calls Macedo “o maior sabio de huma Nação” and “o esmalto de Literatura Portuguesa.” José Agostinho de Macedo (1761-1831) was a prolific writer of prose and verse, best known for his pamphleteering: “Ponderous and angry like a lesser Samuel Johnson, he bullies and crushes his opponents in the raciest vernacular … his idiomatic and vigorous prose will always be read with pleasure” (Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 282). Macedo was also well known for his arrogance in literary matters: he condemned as worthless Homer’s poems, which he had never read in the original, and believed his own epic Gama, 1811 (reworked and published as O Oriente, 1814), could have taught Camões how Os Lusiadas should have been written. Toward the end of his life Macedo became Court preacher and chronicler, and a friend of D. Miguel.

Woodcut vignette on title page. In good to very good condition. (3 ll.), 64 pp., (1 l.). 4 works in 1 volume. $300.00 FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this Arte poetica in verse. It is usually encountered bound with the three works which follow. That they belong together is demonstrated in the licenses and censura statements (including a Censura “Do Ordinario” by Diogo Barbosa Machado). The final leaf contains on its recto additional licenses, one of which is signed by a Craesbeck, and a few lines of errata; the verso is blank. There appear to be copies which contain an extra collective title page at the beginning, Obras em verso. Francisco de Pina e Mello (1695-1773), who rarely used the “de Sá” part of his name which appears on the title pages of the present four volumes, was born and died at Montemor-o-Velho. Coming from a family of the lower nobility, he studied at Coimbra special list 192 33 but never took a degree, reading what interested him, being particularly influenced by the Baroque. A trip to France in 1753 put him in contact with pre-romantic French authors. He ran afoul of the Marquês de Pombal, was imprisoned, and spent his final years engrossed in literary theory. A member of the Real Academia de História, the Academia dos Aplicados, and the Academia dos Ocultos, he was something of a contradiction as a poet: bucolic and very much influenced by Gongorism, condemned by the árchadas (Correa Garção and Cruz e Silva considered him to be marginal, “o corvo do Mondego”), but finally defending Neoclassicism. In short, he is representative of the contradictions of the confused pre-romantic aesthetics of the period in a synthesis of Gongorism with French Neoclassicism.

The poem is dedicated to Sebastião Joseph de Carvalho e Mello, Conde de Oeiras (later Marquês de Pombal), and includes a flowery six-page address to him beginning on the second leaf recto. The first two pages of the main text contain an “Argumento do epithalamio.” The poem celebrates the marriage of Pombal’s eldest son: an obvious attempt by the author to ingratiate himself with the powerful minister who had had him imprisoned in 1762. The final leaf contains a “Cathalogo de algumas obras deste autor, as quaes se achão de Antonio da Sylva da Costa mercador de livros na rua Augusta, na travessa de S. Nicolão.” Several works which would have been offensive to Pombal, defending the educational program of the Jesuits against the proposed reforms 34 richard c. ramer

Mariot- tini’s translation of the entire Paradise Lost was printed in London, 1796, by G. Polidori. Felice Mariottini (Città di Castello, 1756-Rome, 1827) took orders in 1769 and became a member of the Arcadian academy in 1779, as Aurisio Pierideo.

Working in Rome, Naples, and Città di Castello, he published special list 192 41

several collections of poems. In 1792, hearing that teachers of Italian were in demand in England, he moved to London, where he published his translation of Paradise Lost. Back in Rome by 1797, he published I congressi del Monte Sacro, 1799, in which he criticized the temporal power of the pope as a “sacra tirannide” and education in the Papal States as hopelessly behind the times. This made him persona non grata when Pius VII was elected pope. His criticisms of the French made him unpopular when the French occupied the Papal States. Mariottini published this bilingual Paradise Lost in Rome, after the restoration of the papacy, but it was not a commercial success and led to legal battles. He passed the rest of his life in poverty and was buried in the Lateran. j On the translator, see E. Ciferri in Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, vol. 70 (2007).

One of the Greatest Poets in Portuguese and Spanish— Second (Preferred) Edition *383. MIRANDA, Francisco de Sá de. As obras … agora de nouo impressas com a Relação de sua calidade, e vida. [Lisbon]: Vicente Alva- rez for Domingos Fernandez, 1614. 4°, contemporary limp vellum (remains of ties, some soiling and wear), fore-edge cover exten- sions, vertical manuscript inscription on spine, orange rectangular paper label with shelfmark “677” at foot of spine. Woodcut vignette on title page, woodcut initials and headpieces. Occasional minor dampstaining and very light browning. Overall, in fine condition. Several contemporary and later inscriptions, two scored, on recto of front free endleaf. (12), 160 ll. Leaf 19 wrongly numbered 14; 148 wrongly numbered 142. ¶4, 2¶8, A-V8. $10,000.00 Second edition of the collected works of Sá de Miranda, preferred by Seabra, Innocêncio and Ticknor to the first edition of Lisbon, 1595. Both editions are rare. The second was corrected by reference to an autograph manuscript of Sá de Miranda’s that was in the hands of his relatives (see the preface by Domingos Fernandes, preliminary leaf 3r). This edition is the first to include the earliest biography of the author, said to have been written by Gonçalo Coutinho, and seventeen works not printed in the first edition, among them canções, cantigas, vilancetes and redondilhas soltas (see final preliminary leaf). There are many subsequent editions. Sá de Miranda is described by Bell as “the champion of humanism in Portugal” and “the most famous of all the Portuguese poets with the exception of Camões and Gil Vicente” (Portuguese Literature p. 139). Ticknor points out that he wrote in both Castil- ian and Portuguese, so that “while, on all accounts he is placed among the four or five principal poets in his own country, he occupies a position of enviable distinction among those of the prouder nation that soon became, for a time, its master” (History of Spanish Literature III, 11-12). Sá de Miranda was the first Portuguese to write in Italian hendeca- syllabics rather than the octosyllabic redondilhas, and “none, perhaps, since his time has appeared in them with more grace and power” (Ticknor II, 11). He did not find it an easy task, however: Bell describes him “hammering his lines, altering, erasing, compressing in a divine discontent. He had a lofty conception of the poet’s art—to express the noblest sentiment in the best and fewest words …” (Bell p. 143). A native of Coimbra, Sá de Miranda (ca. 1485-1558) studied at the University of Lisbon and soon earned a reputation as a scholar and lawyer. In 1521 he departed on a five-year visit to Italy, where he met many of the Italian humanists and became thoroughly familiar with Italian literature. Upon his return he took up residence at the court of D. 44 richard c. ramer

again in Lisbon, 1833 (an edition that Innocêncio deemed far inferior to the first), and in Lisbon, 1876, with he author’s name on the title page for the first time. Macedo (1761-1831) was a prolific writer of prose and verse, best known for his pamphleteering: “Ponderous and angry like a lesser Samuel Johnson, he bullies and crushes his opponents in the raciest vernacular … his idiomatic and vigorous prose will always be read with pleasure” (Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 282). He became a secular priest after his expulsion from the Augustinian Order for, among other misdemeanors, the systematic theft of books. Macedo was a champion of law and order to the point of being a reactionary, and at the end of his life was a staunch friend and defender of D. Miguel. He is also known for his arrogance in literary matters: he believed that Homer’s poems, which he had never read in the original, were worthless, and that his epic Gama, 1811 (reworked and published as O Oriente, 1814), could have taught Camões how Os Lusiadas should have been written. Pato Moniz, an intimate friend and literary disciple of Bocage, can be considered a transitional figure between arcadismo and romanticism. Born near the Arco do Cego in Lisbon in 1781, the son of a minor nobleman, he eventually sold his inheritance, and lived by his pen, writing for the theater and editing political and literary newspapers. After the establishment of freedom of the press in Portugal in 1820 he wrote the first political newspaper, Portuguez constitucional, which began in September that year and continued on a daily basis for more than two years, with the exception of interruptions when the author was employed editing the Diário das Côrtes. He was elected from Setúbal to the Côrtes of 1822–1823. Advocating ever more radical measures, immediately following the Villa–Franca coup he was sent South of the Tejo and then deported to the Ilha do Fogo in Cabo Verde, where he is said to have died under harsh conditions, probably in 1827. j Innocêncio VI, 307.

Ilha do Fogo, Cabo Verde), studied the humanities and devoted himself to literary pursuits from an early age. An intimate friend of Bocage, who was a major influence, like Bocage he became a ferocious literary and ideological enemy of José Agostinho de Macedo, who was skewered by him as the mock hero of the comic poem Agostinheida. Pato Moniz can be considered a transitional figure between arcadismo and romanticism. The son of a minor nobleman, he eventually sold his inheritance, and lived by his pen, writing for the theater and editing political and literary newspapers.

First Portuguese Edition of the First Spanish Pastoral Novel Originally Written in Spanish by a Portuguese Author 392. MONTE MAYOR, George de [i.e. Jorge de MONTEMAYOR, or MONTEMÔR]. La Diana de George de Monte Mayor. Primera y segunda parte. Agora nuevamente corregida, y emendada. Lisbon: Por Pedro Craes- beeck Impressor de su Magestad, 1624. 8°, early to mid-twentieth- century antique speckled sheep, spine richly gilt with raised bands in six compartments, burgundy morocco lettering piece, gilt letter, marbled endleaves, text-block edges rouged. Title page with ruled border and typographical vignette. Typographical headpiece. Small woodcut initials. Divisional title page for the second part on p. [361] with woodcut arms. A few headings slightly shaved; other minor defects. Overall in good to very good condition. Contemporary signature of Paulo Correa on verso of title page. [8 ll.], 687 pp. $3,400.00 First Portuguese Edition. The Portuguese author was born at Montemôr-o-Velho, near Coimbra (ca. 1520?). He spent a good part of his adult life in Spain, returning only briefly to Portugal, and was either assassinated or killed in a duel in Turin, 1561. His Diana was the first Spanish pastoral novel. It is one of those works, and he is one of those authors, which can be said to belong to Portuguese as well as to Spanish literature. The Diana, moreover, was “the starting–point of a universal literary fashion”— Encyclopedia Britannica (11th edition), XVIII, 766. Menendez y Pelayo declared that “it exercised a greater influence on modern literature than any other pastoral romance, even theArcadia and Daphnis and Chloe.” The Diana was one of the great international best sellers of the Golden Age, appearing in numerous editions, and eliciting two significant sequels, by Alonso Pérez and Gaspar Gil Polo, sometimes reprinted together with the original (as in the present edition, the second part of which is the sequel by Pérez). It inspired other pastoral romances in Spanish, the most notable of which was undoubtedly Cervantes’ Galetea. Later Cervantes selected the Diana as one of the few books to be saved, by the good taste of the curate, in the destruction of Don Quixote’s library. The Diana exerted considerable influence upon the literatures of other countries, notably England, Germany, Italy and France. The story of Felismena in the second book of the Diana was an indirect source, through a translation included in Googe’s Eglogs, epytaphes and sonnets, of the episode of Proteus and Julia in the Two Gentlemen of Verona; Sydney’s pastoral is redolent of Montemayor. According to Gordon de Percel, Bib. de l’Usage des Romans (Paris, 1734, II, 23–24), there were six different French translations. Yet another continuation of the Diana, based on the versions of Pérez and Gil Polo, by the plagiarist Jerónimo de Texeda, was probably composed in France, and published at Paris, 1627, in Spanish. Palau refers to 20 different editions and adaptations in French published during the sixteenth, seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. According to Picot, few other books achieved such long-lived success in France as La Diana. It inspired L’Astreé by Honoré d’Ufré. Alexandre Hardy dramatized an episode borrowed from the seventh book: Felisméne (1613); another episode was developed by Jaques Pousset de Montauban: Les charmes de Felicie, terés de la Diane de Montemayor, pastorale (Paris, 1654). j Arouca M422.
