Os sermões de Vieira publicaram-se ainda em sua vida muitos deles soltos até que principiou a formar-se a conhecida coleção em 1679 data em que saiu o seu primeiro volume. Até 1696 publicaram-se onze volumes. Depois seguiram póstumos entre 1699 e 1748 outros quatro perfazendo um total de quinze. Ainda em 1754 apareceu um volume com doze sermões de Vieira pregados todos em louvor de Santo António e que se dá como tomo décimo sexto da coleção embora já tivessem sido impressos nos quinze volumes anteriores. Estes sermões foram muitas vezes reimpressos mas sem se lhes dar o carácter de edição nova reimprimindo-se sem se alterar a data dos volumes que iam escasseando já muito no mercado. PADRE ANTÓNIO VIEIRA Lisboa 1608 - Salvador Brasil 1697 considerado por muitos como o maior escritor português é autor de uma vasta obra em português latim e italiano sendo definido lapidarmente por Fernando Pessoa como o «Imperador da língua portuguesa». Ao mesmo tempo desenvolveu com brilhantismo visão e coragem atividades políticas e diplomáticas na defesa de Portugal durante a Guerra da Restauração tendo entrado em conflito aberto com a Inquisição que venceu com o apoio do Papa. Mais importante ainda foi a sua prolongada e dedicada atividade missionária em que se distinguiu pela defesa da liberdade dos índios e pela condenação da escravatura dentro dos moldes possíveis na sua época pelo que chegou a ser expulso pelos colonos que tratavam mal os escravos oriundos de Ãfrica e queriam escravizar os índios apesar das leis régias em contrário que obteve de D. João IV e de D. Pedro II. Vieira conseguiu conciliar um grande realismo político com uma crença arraigada no Sebastianismo começando por identificar D. João IV como o «Desejado» do mito Sebastianista que havia de ressuscitar. Apesar de Vieira dar grande valor e se ter dedicado prolongadamente às suas obras teológicas e proféticas foram os sermões que o consagraram como grande orador e escritor. A sua forte personalidade e capacidade oratória atraíam multidões para ouvi-lo pregar mas foi a possibilidade de rever e acompanhar a publicação dos sermões que os tornou obras literárias de grande valor e não apenas o frio registo das suas capacidades oratórias. Em 1614 Vieira foi para a Baía com a família e ingressou no Colégio da Companhia de Jesus onde segundo uma lenda superou inesperadas dificuldades de aprendizagem destacando-se pelas suas habilidades intelectuais e linguísticas o que lhe valeu em 1625 aos 17 anos a tarefa de redigir o relatório anual evento conhecido como o «Estalo de Vieira». Em 1623 iniciou o noviciado familiarizando-se com a cultura e a língua tupi e em 1625 fez os primeiros votos começando a ensinar retórica em Olinda. Ordenado sacerdote em 1634 tornou-se conhecido como orador realizando a sua primeira pregação oficial na Baía. Em 1641 acompanhou a Lisboa o filho do Vice-rei do Brasil iniciando uma fase como conselheiro político de D. João IV e missões diplomáticas na Europa. Em Roma reviu os seus sermões publicando o primeiro volume em 1679 e recebeu isenção da Inquisição. Regressou ao Brasil em 1681 onde se dedicou até à sua morte à revisão dos sermões e à redação da sua obra teológica «Clavis Prophetarum». DIONÃSIO TEIXEIRA DE AGUIAR c. 1720 - foi familiar do Santo Ofício e mostra uma grande admiração pelo padre António Vieira e pela Companhia de Jesus. Casou com Feliciana Teresa Francisca em Oeiras em 5 de Agosto de 1746. Nada mais se conhece da sua vida e o seu nome não é referido por Barbosa Machado. É autor do prólogo e da dedicatória de outra obra de Vieira: Cinco discursos morais fundados nas cinco pedras de David Lisboa 1754 e de duas pequenas obras sobre o Milagre de Ourique publicadas em 1753 e 1757. ANTÓNIO MARTINS fl. 1690 - 175 Ainda não foi possível obter dados biográficos sobre o dedicatário deste livro e que subsidiou as despesas da impressão identificado na folha de rosto como: homem de negócios nesta Corte. Na dedicatória Dionísio Teixeira de Aguiar destaca as suas virtudes morais e religiosas a caridade para com os mais pobres a devoção às imagens sagradas e em especial a Santo António e os gastos em Missas e outros sufrágios pelas almas do Purgatório o que lhe aumentou os bens e restituiu a saúde segundo afirma na dedicatória.

réf. 54778Bologna: Giacomo Monti 1668. Small quarto 23 × 17 cm. Contemporary elaborately decorated and richly gilt morocco binding with the armorial supralibros of Pope Clement X. on the front and back covers from the orbit of the Andreoli/Rospigliosi bindery with gilt edges; 16 148 pp. with engraved title page 14 copper-engraved plates by Lorenzo Tinti and numerous initials. Inner lid with ex-libris from the notable collection of the London bookseller W. A. Foyle Beeleigh Abbey; binding showing traces of former ties; joints headcaps edges and corners lightly rubbed the joints slightly more so; spine with a few minute almost imperceptible restorations and a few tiny wormholes; slightly toned and faintly fox-stained in places along the edges; else very good. First edition with the copperplate engravings by Lorenzo Tinti and the second edition of the text first published in Florence in 1626 under the equally fictitious authorship of Pandolfo Ricasoli Baroni see Melzi and Moreni. This Vita replaced Arcangelo Giani's "Della historia del b. Filippo Benizii nobile fiorentino" published in 1604 as the authoritative hagiography updating Giani's account in light of the Processi informativi completed in 1621 in preparation for the canonization proceedings. During this process the commissions in Florence Philip's birthplace and Todi the place of his death interviewed more than fifty witnesses and inspected the principal sites of veneration see the Preface and Sabine Hoffmann Ein heiliger und sieben Gründer . Munich 2013 p. 47. The occasion for this second edition of the Vita enriched with copperplate engravings was the renewed - and this time successful - effort undertaken in Rome by the Florentines and the Servite Order to secure the canonization of their fifth Prior General. To him they owed the survival of the Order after the Second Council of Lyon 1274 when the smaller mendicant orders faced compulsory suppression. The Servite Order subsequently received papal confirmation in 1304 and Benizi has therefore often been regarded as its founder. For four centuries the friars of the Ordo Servorum Mariae and the Florentines sought the canonization of their patron who during the conclave at Viterbo 1268-1271 was proposed for election as pope and is therefore said to have hidden in a grotto on Monte Amiata near Siena. The first major success in this long campaign came under Pope Leo X the first pope of the Florentine Medici family who in 1516 authorized the celebration of the Feast of Philip with its own Mass and Proper Office. By this time the veneration of Philip had reached its height in Florence. For this and the following see Hoffmann 2013 pp. 15-48. In the Servites' mother church Basilica della Santissima Annunziata a church central to the Florentines that housed one of the city's most important sanctuaries the miraculous image of the Annunciation Cosimo Rosselli as is well known the painter who alongside Ghirlandaio Perugino Botticelli and Signorelli executed three of the frescos in the Sistine Chapel began around 1475 a fresco cycle on the life of the city's venerated son. The cycle was continued in 1509-1510 with five frescos by Andrea del Sarto. Together with his pupils Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino he subsequently worked also in the forecourt of the basilica the "Chiostrino dei Voti" on a second cycle whose subject was the life of the Virgin Mary. With these two cycles the pictorial biographies of the two figures of greatest importance to the order were placed before the basilica. When Vasari later wrote at length about the frescos he referred to Filippo Benizi more than a century before his canonization quite matter-of-factly as a saint "san Filippo" even though his descriptions of the paintings or more precisely his iconographic reading of the frescos suggest that he was not entirely familiar with the associated legends G. Vasari Le vite de' piu eccellenti pittori scultori e architettori Volume 1 of Part 3. Florence 1568 p. 152. Andrea del Sarto's cycle was also significant for the canonization process. At the beginning of the seventeenth century the cycle was studied by the canonization commission since it constituted an outstanding testimony to Philip's veneration. In more recent scholarship the depositions from the canonization proceedings conducted between 1619 and 1621 have been used as a source for examining the effect of the cycle on its viewers. The account of the cults in the third part of the Vita likewise makes it possible to understand the liturgical and social interconnections within which the frescoes were received at the time. On this see Alana O'Brien San Filippo Benizi 'Honour of the Servi and Florence': His Cycle and Cult at SS. Annunziata 1460-1621 Ph.D. diss. La Trobe University 2 vols. 2001. Even before Leo X approved the invocation and liturgy of Benizi the veneration of relics had already attained such significance that del Sarto depicted it in one of his frescos. On several occasions the Florentines attempted in vain to obtain the bones preserved in Todi. The Vita however lists a series of minor primary relics in Florence including a thumb and fragments of the forearm and elbow. Del Sarto by contrast depicts the veneration of the Florentine "cushion-shaped reliquary capsule" described in the Vita in which a garment of the Servite was preserved. The condition of the relic is described in detail. Furthermore additional relics in other Italian cities are listed. The accounts extensively report on the veneration as well as the miracles attributed to the relics. Thus a garment of the Servite friar preserved in Todi is said to have repeatedly brought about instantaneous healings. In this way a famous legend likewise depicted by Andrea del Sarto and here also by Lorenzo Tinti appears as it were to have been perpetuated: Philip who had once studied medicine and philosophy in Paris and Padua is said to have spontaneously healed a freezing leper by giving the beggar his garment for warmth: "No sooner was the poor man clothed than the foul-smelling scales of his disease fell to the ground his flesh was immediately cleansed and his limbs were restored as though he had never been leprous." p. 56ff. In its account of the miracle the Vita explicitly refers to del Sarto's depiction. Time and again the Vita returns to the frescoes including in its account of the "Punishment of the Blasphemers." According to the text the Florentine painter rendered the "harrowing event" "so terrifying" that "it can scarcely be viewed without dread." Both the painting and Lorenzo Tinti's engraving depict the very moment in which the blasphemers who had been warned by Philip while resting beneath an elm tree are struck dead by a bolt of lightning. p 66f. The veneration is said to have begun immediately after his death. Thus it is reported that the dying man's final words were answered by a voice audible to all proclaiming: "Faithful servant whom the Virgin has appointed to care for her household come and enter into the glory of your Lord!" Thereupon the friars are said to have set aside their grief and "contrary to the customary order begun to sing hymns and psalms." The conclusion of both the fresco cycle and the Vita is formed by the miracle that is said to have occurred during the lying in state of Philip's body: "When news of the death of the blessed Philip spread through the city of Todi people of every rank flocked to the Church of San Marco to pay their final respects to his body. Among them was the notary Paolo di Guido whose daughter Agnoletta had long suffered from a grave illness. Her hands had become completely twisted and paralyzed by the disease and her feet were so contracted that she could neither walk nor help herself. . No sooner had the girl been brought near the holy body than her condition began visibly to change. Her contracted limbs relaxed her hands opened once again her feet straightened and she fully regained her strength. Before the eyes of all those present she rose healed and unharmed." pp. 115ff. This account is followed by an extensive list spanning many pages of all the miracles said to have occurred after Philip's death. Yet despite the great efforts undertaken by the Florentines and the small mendicant order to secure his canonization the papal decision continued to be delayed even after the thorough investigation had been completed. The petitions of Grand Duke Ferdinando II de' Medici and Emperor Ferdinand III to Urban VIII and Innocent X remained unsuccessful. Only the insistence of Emperor Leopold I with Clement IX brought about the conditions under which Clement X finally canonized Philip on April 12 1671 together with Cajetan of Thiene co-founder of the Theatine Order Rose of Lima the first female saint of the Americas Louis Bertrand a Dominican missionary in Colombia and Francis Borgia who above all promoted the Jesuit mission in Central and South America. Philip was the only one among them who had died long before the sixteenth century. The present copy is distinguished above all by the binding made for Pope Clement X to be understood within the context of the centuries long campaign for the canonization of the Florentine saint. Although the Andreoli brothers were still active at this time the present lavishly decorated and highly accomplished binding is more plausibly attributable to the wider circle of the workshop known as the Rospigliosi Bindery. While the compartments framing both the octagonal armorial supralibros and the laurel wreath filled with flame motifs and terminating in volutes at the corners display clear affinities with documented bindings associated with the Rospigliosi workshop tradition including those made for Christina of Sweden and for Popes Clement IX and Clement X no correspondences could be established in a comparison of the finishing tools. Moreover the exclusive use of a single roll tool on the spine would be highly unusual.

1741réf. 6390Madrid: Miguel Fernández 1741. First Edition Primera edición. Hardcover Tapa dura. 207x149mm. 8¼x5¾". Madrid Miguel Fernández 1741. En 4º 207 x 149mm. 16 h. 99 pp. 1 lámina plegada y grabada por Minguet con la representación del puerto y dos ciudades de Guayaquil. Encuadernación de la época en piel. Primera edición escasa en comercio y de mucho aprecio especialmente cuando contiene su famoso Plano de Alcedo. Esta obra se sacó de un manuscrito del P. Jacinto Basilio Morán de Butrón verdadero autor del texto y fue editada y preparada para la imprenta por Dionisio Alcedo y Herrera uno de los grandes burócratas españoles y de los mayores conocedores de la América española en el siglo XVIII. El hecho de que Alcedo se atribuyera la autoría de la obra le hizo merecedor de ciertos reproches de plagio. Este Compendio es una de las fuentes más tempranas que tenemos acerca de la historia geografía y etnografía de Guayaquil la segunda ciudad más grande y poblada de Ecuador e incluye además diversas noticias acerca de los ataques de los piratas Drake y Morgan a sus costas. Se describe aquí por primera vez la flora la fauna el comercio y la arquitectura de la región así como el primer estudio topográfico de su área. En la introducción el autor describe las causas de la importancia de Guayaquil como uno de los puertos más importantes de las colonias españolas en América de ahí los ataques sufridos por diversos piratas a lo largo de la historia que quedan narrados en las pp. 82-90. De especial interés son los capítulos 10 y 11 que tratan acerca de los indios Mangache y Colorado. La importantísima lámina grabada y plegada que representa el plano de Guayaquil comúnmente llamado Plano de Alcedo es el primer plano que se conoce de la región fue elaborado y grabado por el dibujante Pablo Minguet en 1740 por encargo del jesuita Jacinto Morán de Butrón verdadero autor del libro como hemos apuntado antes. El plano muestra el puerto con las dos ciudades los esteros la navegación embarcaciones y un cuadro con la explicación de más de 70 puntos topográficos. Dionisio de Alcedo y Herrera 1690-1777 desarrolló una importante carrera administrativa en América ocupando altos cargos en la administración de México y Perú. Primero como Secretario de Cartas en el Virreinato de Perú para pasar después a Ordenador del Tribunal Mayor de Cuentas de la Ciudad de los Reyes. En 1723 es nombrado diputado del Comercio en el Perú y es en esas fechas cuando viaja a Madrid a informar al rey del estado del comercio en América. En Madrid Alcedo expuso al Monarca el objeto de su comisión y Felipe V dispuso que se celebrase una Junta que había de presidir el ministro José Patiño compuesta por cuatro ministros del Consejo de Castilla cuatro del de Indias cuatro del de Hacienda y el propio Alcedo y Herrera donde se discutió sobre diferentes puntos tocantes al estado de la Real Hacienda y del Comercio adoptándose las medidas necesarias para el beneficio de los mercaderes de Indias y el incremento del Patrimonio Real. Además una vez terminada la guerra con Inglaterra Alcedo consiguió que se diera por bueno el ajuste hecho por el Consulado de Lima referente a los asientos de avería. En recompensa de sus servicios en 1728 regresa a Perú y es elevado a presidente de la Audiencia de Quito. En el tiempo que se mantuvo en el cargo tuvo la oportunidad de colaborar con la famosa expedición científica dirigida por Le Condamine y en la que participaban Antonio de Ulloa y Jorge Juan. Abandonó su cargo en 1736 y cuatro años más tarde fue nombrado Gobernante y Capitán General de Tierra Firme. No tuvo mucha suerte en su nuevo nombramiento ya que sería acusado y procesado en varias ocasiones por irregularidades administrativas y asuntos relacionados con la tolerancia con el contrabando lo que le obligó a regresar a España en 1752. Alcedo a causa de los diferentes cargos que ocupó y de los asuntos para los que fue requerido adquirió vastos conocimientos y sobre todo una gran experiencia en todo lo relativo al comercio con América y muy especialmente de nuestras relaciones comerciales con los ingleses. En 1725 escribió el Memorial informativo sobre diferentes puntos tocantes al estado de la Real Hacienda y del Comercio entre España y las Indias. Varios años más tarde en 1740 publica en Madrid su Aviso historico politico geographico con las noticias mas particulares del Peru Tierra-Firme Chile y Nuevo Reyno de Granada. Al año siguiente en 1741 apareció su última obra publicada el presente Compendio histórico de Guayaquil. Todas sus obras son raras y de mucho aprecio. Obra poco frecuente en comercio y que tampoco abunda en bibliotecas públicas sólo hemos encontrado 6 ejemplares en España 2 ejemplares en BN Universidad de Sevilla Biblioteca de Castilla-La Mancha RAH y Universidad Complutense Mancha de humedad en la portada por lo demás en excelente estado.
