Bonauenturæ: quæ | Lectoris animum ad pietatem | vehementer excitare | poterunt.- Olyssipone: Apud Franciscum Corream, 1576.- [12], 406, [3] p.; 14 cm.- E. A rare rare typographical species from the 16th century in Lisbon not mentioned in the main bibliographies and catalogues consulted, except in Anselmo (508), Biblioteca de D. Manuel II (193) and Biblioteca Nacional (312) which also mentions two editions of the same work, in the vernacular, also printed in Lisbon, in 1574 and 1577. Cardinal D. Henrique (1512-1580), son of King D. Manuel I and his second wife, D. Maria de Aragão, was the 17th King of Portugal between August 28, 1578 and January 31, 1580. The copy, slightly cropped (carminated edges), has small holes and wormholes in the lower margin that only slightly and occasionally affect the text. The edition, very careful and of small format, is almost entirely composed in italic characters. Provenance: lot no. 376 from auction no. 35 of Pedro de Azevedo, March 2000 (the same copy). Non-contemporary binding, full sheepskin, well preserved.
