First edition of a classic work of devotion, written in Portuguese, by a Dominican who left us a vast work that was reprinted multiple times, at least, until the end of the 19th century. Luís de Granada (1504-1588) lived in Portugal for the last 47 years of his life, he was confessor to King D. João III, Queen D. Catarina and King Cardinal D. Henrique. Bibliographer António Palau dedicates more than a thousand entries to it in about 40 pages of his “Manual del librero hispano-americano”. The text is almost entirely printed in Gothic rotunda characters. The thirteen sermons have their own title page and pagination. On the back of the last pages of each of the parts, the mark of the printer João Blávio de Colónia.
