BARTOLOMEU DOS MÁRTIRES, Santo.- Venerabilis Servi Dei D. Bartholomaei a Martyribus Archiepiscopi Bracarensis ex Ordine Fratrum Praedicatorum Opera Omnia quotquot reperiri potuere nunc primum in unum collecta [...] quibus praefigitur piissimi Archipraesulis vita. / Cura, et studio D. Malachiae d’Inguimbert Archiepiscopi Theodosiae...- Romae: Typis Hieronymi Mainardi, M. 1734-1735.- 2 tomos em 1 vol.: 1 retrato; 36 cm.- E. Friar Bartholomew of the Martyrs, O.P. (1514-1590), a prominent figure in the Portuguese Church of the 16th century, he stood out in the third and final session of the Council of Trent (1562-1563), having been archbishop of Braga between 1559 and 1582; in 2001 he was beatified by Pope John Paul II and in 2016, canonized by Pope Francis. Important and rare edition of his “opera omnia”, illustrated with a beautiful portrait that, curiously, has two signatures: Andreas Rossi Sculp. (who we assume was the subtitle writer) and Roccus Pozzi Sculp. (on the left of the image, close to the lower margin). Signed by the Italian engraver Rocco Pozzi (†1780), the two large copperplate vignettes on the two title pages, depicting the coat of arms of Portugal, are also signed. The collation of the two volumes is as follows. Tomus primus: [20], 246, [4], 249-469 [i. and. 473] p.: 1 portrait; Tomus secundus: [4], 465 p. The biography of Friar Bartholomew takes place between pages 1 and 108 of the first volume and includes a beautiful allegorical vignette at the beginning. Edition with excellent graphic quality, printed on high-weight paper. Ancient ownership on the first free endpaper and on the lower margin of the first title page: Monasterij Lisbonensis Ordinis S. Pauli Primi Eremita (with variants); inscription on the back of the same page: Purchased at the book auction of the Bibliotheca Publica de Lisboa in December 1864, B. dos M. Dias e Sousa. The copy, complete and clean, presents the following imperfections: pronounced trimming, evident in the two folds (lower and outer) of the engraving of the saint, but still preserving good margins; deep wormholes on the lower margin of sheets Yy 4 to Ddd4 of Volume I (21 sheets), affecting some claims; and on the upper margin of the last 20 sheets of the volume (smaller cuts). Contemporary binding, very damaged, with carmine edges, preserving the marbled paper of the endpapers. Barbosa Machado, I, p. 470.
