Fr. Luís de Sousa (1555-1632), whose secular name is Manuel de Sousa Coutinho, was born in Santarém. He was around 20 years old when he was captured by privateers off Sardinia and imprisoned for two years in Algiers, where he met Cervantes. In 1577 he was freed and in 1583 he married D. Madalena de Vilhena, with whom he lived in Spain and traveled to South America (Panama and Peru). In 1614, the two decided to enter the religious life, him joining to the Convent of St. Dominic of Benfica and she to the Convent of Sacrament in Lisbon. Fr. Luís was the chief chronicler of his order and is considered one of the most brilliant authors of the Portuguese language. Don Fr. Bartolomeu dos Mártires, O.P. (1514-1590), Archbishop of Braga, a prominent figure in the Portuguese Church of the 16th century, was beatified by Pope John Paul II and, in 2016, canonized by Pope Francis. The copy, very cropped, preserves, in addition to the engraved title, the rare portrait of the Saint, signed Ioan Schorkens fecit (Ernesto Soares, Dictionary, 389) with several restorations to wormholes, which indicates the provenance of another copy. First preliminary sheet with reinforced inner margin; second preliminary sheet with an oval stamp or seal (27 mm) that is repeated twice on the first sheet of text. Otherwise, a clean and solid copy. Ex-libris of AGC on the back cover and of Cândido Xavier da Costa, on the free endpaper. Stamp by T. Norton and former ownership inscription of Joseph Fernandes Braga, on the engraved title.
