SÁ, Manuel Tavares de Sequeira e.- Jubilos da América, na gloriosa exaltaçaõ, e promoçaõ do Illustrissimo e Excellentissimo Senhor Gomes Freire de Andrada, [...] Collecçaõ das obras da Academia dos Selectos, que na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro se celebrou em obsequio, e applauso do dito Escellentissimo Heroe...- Lisboa: Na Officina do Dor. Manoel Alvares Solano, 1754.- [78, 2 br.], 363, [1 br.] p.; 20 cm.- E. First and only edition of a collection of works by members and sympathizers of the Academia dos Selectos, founded in Rio de Janeiro at the end of 1751 or beginning of 1752, presided over by the Jesuit Francisco de Faria, born in Rio. The association had a single meeting on January 30, 1752, in honour of Gomes Freire de Andrade, and the texts read at the time were published in the present volume, at the initiative of Manuel Tavares de Sequeira e Sá (fl. 18th century), secretary of the Academy, juiz de fora (magistrate appointed by the King of Portuga) in Vila de Redondo (Alentejo) and ombudsman general of the District of Parnaguá (Piauí, Brazil). The texts are contained in an extensive letter from Sequeira e Sá to members of the Academy, as well as some responses, followed by numerous poetic compositions, especially sonnets and epigrams, by various academics and sympathizers, namely Tomás José Homem de Brito, José Pereira Leão, Rodrigo de Seixas Brandão, Mateus Saraiva, Pedro da Silva Rosa, Inácio Gomes de Lira Varela, Domingos Lourenço de Castro, Francisco Correia Leal, António Nunes de Sequeira, Miguel da Costa, Miguel da Costa Ribeiro, Ângela de Amaral Rangel (blind to birth ), etc. Inocêncio (very rare copies I have seen) is of the opinion that most of the copies were sent to Brazil, which would justify their rarity. Borba de Moraes (p. 759/760) considers the “Júbilos” “a very important book in Brazilian literature”. Copy slightly cropped (carminated edges), with browning due to the poor quality of the paper and occasional ink stains. Recent binding, full sheepskin, with patina and gold tooling on the spine, in the manner of the time. Inocêncio, VI, p. 116 and XVI, p. 340. Sabin, 79186. Borba de Moraes, 759. Gauz (JCBL), 754/2.
