Semoes e Praticas - BERNARDES (Manuel) SERMÕES e Praticas do P. Manoel Bernardes . Lisboa: Na Officina Patriarcal de Francisco Luiz Ameno; Na Officina de Antonio Rodrigues Galhardo, 1762. 2 v.; [16], 490 pp.; [4], 550 pp.; 210 mm. An oratorian, deeply influenced by Counter-Reformation models and Baroque rhetoric, Manuel Bernardes stood out as a preacher and writer, cultivating a style that was at once eloquent, introspective, and accessible. His Pratiques et Sermones — which complement his better-known devotional writings, such as Nova Floresta or Luz e Calor — offer moral meditations and spiritual exhortations addressed to both clergy and laity.
