FIRST EDITION. Very rare work by Francisco Manuel de Melo, published in Lisbon between 1648 and 1649 by Paulo Craesbeeck's printing house. This is a biography of Saint Augustine, bishop of Hippo, in which the author seeks to extol his figure as a model of conversion and Christian virtue. This original edition precedes the inclusion of the text in the Obras Morales , later published in Rome, 1664.
In addition to the present edition, two other independent editions are known: one published in Zaragoza (1674) and another in Alcalá (1688), both equally rare and sought after by collectors.
Extremely rare edition, not appearing in most of the major catalogues consulted.
