The editor has
also written an afterward (pp. [319]-43). Though
translated, this series of essays was almost certainly
published exclusively in Portuguese. They originally saw
the light in the newspaper A
tarde, beginning in
June 1982. In the middle of the following year they had
moved to the magazine Espaço
T. By the end of
1983 they began appearing in the weekly Semanário,
where they continued to appear until the Summer of 1991. In
March of 1993 they reappeared in the magazine
Visão,
continuing to appear there for four years. Finally, they
were published in the weekly O
Independente between May
1997 and April 1998. The author, a longtime resident of
Estoril, Sintra as well as other parts of Portugal, was
born in London, 1912, and seems to have died in Brazil
between 2003 and 2005. He had been a barrister at Lincoln's
Inn, fought in World War II at El Alamein, and then worked
for MI6.

Critical
edition of this anonymous medieval manuscript, probably
written between 1380 and 1390, and transmitted through two
manuscript copies in the Biblioteca Nacional, Lisbon
(originally from the Monastery of Alcobaça), dating
probably from between 1401 and 1450 and between 1481 and
1500, respectively, as well as a fragment from manuscript
discovered by Arthur Askins in 1997 at the Torre do Tombo
(originally from the Monastery of Lorvão), which he dates
as between 1391 and 1450, another fragment discovered in
the Torre do Tombo by Aida Fernanda Dias in 1998 (also from
the Monastery of Lorvão), and yet another fragment
descovered in the Torre do Tombo by Harvey Sharrer in 1998
(also from Lorvão). A previous edition exists, edited by
Bertil Maler, Stockholm, 1964. The text is a didactic work
aimed at the salvation of one's sole, based on classical
and Christian sources. It is important as a late
fourteenth-century text in the Portuguese language. The
glossary occupies pp. [335]-65. The index of namers
occupies pp. [371]-95.

Huge, important
study. The following summary appears on the back covers
(apparently written by the author):
"The objective of this two-volume study is itself twofold:
on the one hand, to clarify through documentary evidence
(especially in vol. 1) facts and areas of the life and
professional activity of the great seventeenth-century
Portuguese poet and novelist Francisco Rodrigues Lobo that
are badly known or even unknown (for example, his
crypto-Judaism, the denunciations to the Ecclesiastical
Tribunal and the 'Mesa' of the Inquisition, his interest in
the Zohar); on the other hand, to investigate and
establish, on the basis of the knowledge of these
documentary means, and through interaction with minute
semi-rhetorical textual analyses (especially in vol. 2),
how much the personal socio-economic situation of Rodrigues
Lobo, 'courtier' and 'New Christian', living his whole
professional life in the urban-rural town of Leiria –
dominated by the House of Vila Real and watched over by the
Inquisition – conditioned the structuring of his incredible
literary discourse with subtlety and acuteness. An attempt
is made to demonstrate how the rhetorical strategy of
ambiguous dissimulatio, chosen by Lobo at both macro- and
microstructural levels, provoked in his discourse from the
'Romances' of 1596 up to the posthumous 'jornada'; a
diegetic dislocation of a kind that (freeing him of
extra-textual risks, especially judicial, and not just
inquisitorial) nevertheless permitted the edification and
enunciation of a phantasmal-autobiographical pact capable
of being read in terms of extra-textual referentiality and
fictional-historical mimesis.
The circumstances of his complex and stubborn relationship
with the aristocratic and bookish patron of the House of
Vila Real, Dona Juliana de Lara, with all its consequences,
as well as the shadow cast by the Tribunal of the
Inquisition, increasingly active in relation to the
New-Christian community of Leiria, appear to have provoked
Lobo's linguistic imagination. Aided by a very solid
rhetorical knowledge, a good judicial training at
university, and following a novelistic model that was
already well tried, he platted out, at macro- and
microstrucural levels, enunciations of diegetic renewal and
purified linguistic acutezza so efficient and so inventive
that they make of him the 'miglior fabbro' of the
Portuguese language in the first half of the seventeenth
century, this is, at a time when Padre António Vieira and
D. Francisco Manuel de Mello had not yet been born, and,
later on, when the were just children of no more than ten
years of age.
The documentary evidence of history and the
semiotic-linguistic evidence of rhetoric have both been
used here as tools of investigation. The profuse
documentary evidence, in both printed and manuscript form
(most of it previously unpublished), systematically
researched in archives and libraries, national and foreign,
and consisting of processes of the Inquisition, books of
the 'Promotor', inquisitorial and other correspondence,
books of denunciations, parish registers, notary public
books, Chanceries, political codices, poetic miscellanies,
etc., interacting with the numerous and minute
semio-rhetorical textual analyses, leads to the proposed
conclusions of a persuasive solidity that has the force as
much of fact as of reason."
