A rare first edition of a classic of the Portuguese Baroque literature which although describing several types of burglary of that time with practical examples it is mainly a treatise of ethics and moral for Portuguese and Spanish statesmen and rulers at the time of the Restoration of the Independence of Portugal. Work was attributed to Manuel da Costa among others and was written in 1652 the manuscripts secretly circulating until this first edition was published with the name of P. António Vieira with false local edition date and name of the printer. It was forbidden by the Portuguese and Spanish Inquisition. This first print was probably made by the Genoese João Batista Lerzo. P. António Vieira The «Emperor of the Portuguese Language » according to Fernando Pessoa. Ref.: Inocêncio I 287. P.

A Arte de Furtar foi prohibida em Hespanha por édito da Inquisição de. de Janeiro de 1755 e ahi se declara ser falsamente attribuida ao P. Antonio Vieira. Passou depois para o corpo dos Indices Expurgatorios do mesmo Tribunal e ainda no ultimo impresso em Madrid 1790 a encontro a pag. 277 com a mencionada declaração. Excluida assim a idea de que a obra fosse de Vieira restava indagar a qual dos escriptores seus contemporaneos poderia attribuirse com maior verosimilhança. Alguns criticos tractando este ponto talvez com nimia prudencia não quizeram arriscar a respeito delle uma opinião decisiva. Segundo os autores destes estudos a Arte de Furtar tem sido atribuída aos seguintes literatos: P. António Vieira João Pinto Ríbeiro por Ferreira Gordo Diogo de Almeida por Alves Sinval Tomé Pinheiro da Veiga por Cunha Rivara Duarte Ribeiro de Macedo citado por Camilo C.

Obra dividida em doze capítulos que trata da definição do espírito profético classifica as profecias em canónicas e não canónicas e demonstra que o Reino de Portugal desde a sua fundação fora um dos temas prediletos dos diversos profetas do antigo testamento entre os quais Isaías pode ser considerado como um «cronista dos descobrimentos de Portugal». É uma exaltação da pátria portuguesa escolhida entre todas as nações do Mundo para propagar a fé cristã predestinada a «descobrir o mundo ao mesmo mundo». Vieira dedicou uma parte muito importante do seu esforço às obras proféticas que considerava a parte mais importante da sua produção literária. Algumas das ideias expostas mereceram a desconfiança da Inquisição que deteve o P. António Viera durante largo tempo e que se viu obrigado a ir a Roma pedir uma intervenção do papa em sua defesa. Actualmente esta parte da obra Vieiriana que era pouco considerada pelos anteriores estudiosos tem sido cada vez mais valorizada. PADRE ANTÓNIO VIEIRA Lisboa 1608 - Salvador Brasil 1697 O maior escritor português 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 actividades 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 actividade 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 se ter podido consagrar a rever e a acompanhar a publicação dos sermões que os tornou obras literárias de grande valor e não apenas o frio registo das suas capacidades oratórias. É também uma figura tutelar e fundadora da cultura brasileira país onde viveu e actuou com a maior coragem metade da sua vida e onde decidiu viver os seus últimos dias. Hoje a sua obra é muito influente e estudada no Brasil sendo oriundos desse país alguns dos maiores especialistas em Vieira tais como: Alcir Pécora Adma Muhana João Adolfo Hansen a par dos portugueses Margarida Viiera Mendes Arnaldo do Espírito Santo Ana Travassos Valdez e os referidos mais abaixo. Foi para a Baía com a família em 1614 onde Vieira frequentou o Colégio da Companhia de Jesus. Relativa a esta época chegou até aos nossos dias uma lenda que refere ter o jovem Vieira dificuldades da aprendizagem mas um certo dia repentinamente ultrapassou todas as suas dificuldades dando nas vistas pelas suas capacidades intelectuais e linguísticas tendo sido escolhido pera redigir o relatório anual em 1625 com apenas 17 anos sendo este facto conhecido como o «Estalo de Vieira». Em 5 de Maio de 1623 iniciou o noviciado na Companhia e durante ele passou algum tempo na Missão do Espírito Santo onde aprendeu a língua tupi e entrou em contacto com a cultura e a psicologia dos índios que haveria de defender durante toda a sua vida. Em 6 de Maio de 1625 proferiu os primeiros votos e logo a seguir como refirimos acima foi encarregado de redigir a carta ânua relativa aos anos de 1624 e 1625 e começou a ensinar retórica no Colégio de Olinda tendo sido ordenado sacerdote em 10 de Dezembro de 1634. Durante este período tornou-se notada a sua capacidade oratória e fez muitas pregações em casa da ordem em missões e fazendas tendo a primeira pregação oficial ocorrido no 4.º Domingo da Quaresma de 1634 na Igreja da Conceição da Baía. Em 27 de Fevereiro de 1641 acompanhou a Lisboa o filho do Marquês de Montalvão Vice-rei do Brasil começando um período de actividade política como conselheiro de D. João IV e diplomática missões em Paris e Haia de 1646 a 1648 Roma em 1650 e outra vez Roma de 1669 a 1675 onde tentou reactivar o processo de canonização do Beato Inácio de Azevedo e obter o apoio do Papa que lhe concedeu isenção perante a Inquisição Portuguesa pelo breve de 17 de Abril de 1675. Em Roma tinha começado a rever os seus sermões e o primeiro volume foi publicado em Lisboa em 1679. Em 27 de Janeiro de 1681 partiu para o Brasil tendo vivido até ao momento da sua morte perto da Baía ocupado na revisão dos seus sermões e em especial na redacção da sua obra de teologia e profética: Clavis Prophetarum.

1843réf. 4025Berkeley: T.R. Marvin 1843. First edition. Very Good . Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to front board. Minor loss of cloth to crown of spine. Faint residue of removed library label to spine and front board. Peach endpapers. Light scattered foxing as is typical of the period. Inscribed on the front endpaper by Ward's husband the compiler: "Reverend Mr. Ellingwood with the respects of J.W. Ward." Bookplate on the front pastedown reveals that the recipient Rev. Ellingwood went on to donate the volume to the Theological Seminary of Bangor Maine. A scarce and important example of a published American elegiac volume produced in this case by an eminent family to mourn the loss of an educated woman. Memoirs is unrecorded by OCLC and has never appeared at auction. In their marriage James Wilson Ward and Hetta Lord Hayes Ward united two prominent Northeastern families. A senator and Congregationalist minister James descended from the founders of Plymouth and had attended Andover and Amherst. Hetta the daughter of a judge and niece of a Dartmouth president was herself a graduate of Miss Grant's Seminary Academy. The present volume released "exclusively for private circulation among the friends of the deceased" is a testament to Hetta's value not as a daughter who married well or a wife who effectively managed a house but as a companion an intellectual and an individual. In this sense it deconstructs the period's expectations of separate spheres or hierarchy between sexes. With an opening letter by Susan Hayes Hetta's mother as well as a copy of the eulogy conducted by her husband the book reveals vast details about who Hetta was as a person. Both describe her as tender and affectionate; but time and again emphasis is placed on her mind. Though Hetta was skillful with a needle as a child according to her mother "her numberless questions interested and surprised me.She acquired a fondness for poetry.She became as much interested in the in the study of the exact sciences as in the works of imagination making herself acquainted with the higher branches of Mathematics Algebra Geometry etc." James similarly eulogizes his wife. What becomes clear is that he is grieving the loss of a companion and equal. "If we have found a friend of distinguished excellence and for years rejoiced with that friend in mutual interchange and warm affections it is natural when death intervenes and separates us from the dear object of our love to contemplate their virtues.First characteristic which I would notice which she possessed in an eminent degree is an ardent love of truth.She possessed great powers of abstraction.She saw with great clearness the point of an argument and was quick to distinguish between sophistry.She loved to trace the workings of the human mind." Not satisfied simply to have their own testaments to Hetta's extraordinary mind the compilers included to the last half of the book a collection of her own poetry and prose. A scarce work in a genre underappreciated in American literature and history. Such coterie publications of intimate mourning were uncommon for the time particularly for a woman.

On offer is a super original pre World War II 1937 to 1940 manuscript diary and scrapbook compiled and handwritten by the Reverend C.H. von Glahn of Curtis Corners South Kingstown Rhode Island. The book paints a very complete picture of the life and times of this honoured religious figure and beloved family man all the while with the back drop of international events and the impending War. The Reverend begins the large well filled 11 x 8 inch 300 page book noting the book was a Christmas Day gift from his grandson Jack which is plenty of motivation for him to keep up with his writings. His inspiration obviously works as the book will please any historian or collector of the history and background of Rhode Island at the time as the writings are given the further depth of being littered with clippings notes and photographs.

Viene anche ricordato per l’attività di chirurgo ed esperto di anatomia: si dice che abbia eseguito personalmente quattordici dissezioni complete. Trattandosi di uno studioso quattrocentesco, i suoi interessi botanici sono strettamente legati alla sua attività di medico nella preparazione dei medicamenti che provenivano per la maggior parte dal mondo vegetale. Il prestigio dei Consilia durerà per alcuni secoli e molti saranno gli autori di medicina che attingeranno alle sue informazioni scientifiche e alla struttura del libro, organizzato sapientemente nella discussione di 305 casi clinici comprendenti tutta la materia medica conosciuta, chirurgia e anatomia comprese. In-folio, (8), 369pp, (1), contemporary vellum binding, handwritten title on the spine; bound with Tractatus tres de balneis Patavinis and with Tractatus de modo componendi Medicinas, & de dosi earum, and Antidotarium. Doctor of Venetian origin who died in 1460, he also practiced in Padua as a teacher at the local and prestigious University of Medicine, where the documents prove him as professor from 1422 to 1441. His work Consilia, printed in the first decades of the following century, is well known and appreciated. He is also remembered for his activity as a surgeon and anatomy expert: he is said to have personally performed fourteen complete dissections. Being a fifteenth-century scholar, his botanical interests are closely linked to his activity as a doctor in the preparation of medicines that mostly came from the plant world. The prestige of the Consilia will last for a few centuries and many medical authors will draw on its scientific information and on the structure of the book, expertly organized in the discussion of 305 clinical cases including all known materia medica, surgery and anatomy included.

São padroeiros da cidade de Córdova que celebra o seu orago no dia 17 de Novembro. Em diversas fontes verificam-se divergências sobre as datas e o segundo mártir que com ela morreu.
