CCCCCC. [1600].- [8], 336 [i. e. 334], [7] f.: il.; 17 cm.- E. Third edition of the «Itinerário», previously published in 1593 and 1596. From the biography of D. Fr. Pantaleão de Aveiro (16th century), a Franciscan from the province of Algarve, we only know that he traveled through Europe, mainly in Italy, and was three years in the Holy Land, passing through Trent during the third phase of the famous council. The “Itinerary” is the account of his troubled pilgrimage, led by Br. Bonifácio de Ragusa, Custos of the Holy Land, in which about 60 religious took part. The title page presents, in the center, the coat of arms of D. Miguel de Castro, archbishop of Lisbon and on the back, the licenses; the next three sheets, framed by xylographies, include the royal charter, the dedication to D. Miguel and a message to devotees wishing to visit the Holy Land, followed by the «Tavoada dos capitvlos» (f. [5, 6 and 7 ], ending with an engraving of Death; the next page (f. [8]) presents, on the front, an engraving of St. Peter and on the verso, a crown of thorns. The text of the journey is developed in the following 336 leaves, after which appears the «Index, que amostra as cousas particulares, que contem este Itinerario...» on three unnumbered sheets, with an image of Saint Barbara on the verso of the third; the last sheet includes two engravings: on the front, an image of the Ascension of the Virgin into Heaven, on the verso, the coat of arms of Portugal. Slightly trimmed copy, with a loose bifoil (from the «Tavoada»); small central wormhole, affecting the text, on the seven preliminary pages following the title page.
