Friar Manuel Calado († 1654), born in Vila Viçosa, barefoot hermit at the Convent of Serra de Ossa, lived for 30 years in Brazil. The only published part of a work that reports on the restoration of Pernambuco and the expulsion of the Dutch from Brazil. The edition was initially suppressed and prevented from being sold, even though it had all the licenses. Twenty years later the ban was lifted and work resumed, with the title page replaced and dated 1668. However, the work was registered in the Index from 1655 until the end of the 19th century. Copy with slight stains and light handling, especially on the preliminary pages (the last one restored); cover page mirrored and handled, with small touches by hand, on the imprint. Contemporary binding, full sheepskin, with small damage on the upper surface and traces of wormholes. Ex-libris d’Almeida e Brito. Provenance: Auction nº 50, by Pedro de Azevedo (May 2006), lot nº 81, Biblioteca de Bernardino Ribeiro de Carvalho (small library label on the back cover). Inocêncio, V, p. 384 and XVI, p. 146. Samodães, 518. Borba de Moraes, p. 142/143 (of the Portuguese books about Brazil published in the eighteenth century, this is the most difficult to find). Arouca, 25.
