MANUSCRITO.- [ÉVORA, Convento do Monte Calvário de].- Obituário das freiras clarissas.- Séculos XVI a XIX.- 160 f.; 21 cm. E. Obituary of the Poor Clares of the Convent of Saint Helena of Mount Calvary, in Évora. The Convent of Calvary, as it is known today, was founded in 1570 by the Infanta D. Maria of Portugal, the youngest daughter of King D. Manuel I of Portugal and belongs to the cloistered Order of Saint Clare. Manuscript of several hands, containing: a calligraphed title page of the 16th century: “Este liuro he da comunidade deste conuento do Caluario”; several introductory texts follow (historical note, “a culpa das noviças e madres”, graças e perdões, “os sanctos em que se pode levantar o interdito”, “da entrada do Rei neste convto. do calvario”, “palavras escritas no principio da regra”, “as festas em que se fazem procissões”, ceremonies, etc.). Following is a list with the “Numero das riligiozas que tem faliçido neste Convto. Do Calvº.” (nearly a hundred). On folio 34, a curious draft of a death certificate, dated 14 Dec. from 1706. From folios 38 and 149, there are records of deaths, dated between 1707 and 1889, the date on which the last nun died and closed the convent. The document includes more than fifty plate seals, all of which are well preserved, authenticating numerous visitor visas. Volume slightly disjointed and with occasional browning, caused by the ink. Antique binding (17th century?), full sheepskin, with blind decoration on the covers and spine, preserving one of the two metal clasps.
