templo memoria - GALHEGOS (Manuel de) TEMPLO da Memoria. Poema Epithalamico, nas Felicíssimas bodas do Excellentissimo Senhor Duque de Bargança [sic], & de Barcelos [...] . Em Lisboa: Por Lourenço Craesbeeck, 1635. [ ]4, §, A-Q8, R4; [12], 126, [6] ff.; 245 mm. Epithalamic poem dedicated to the marriage of D. João, Duke of Bragança, with D. Luísa de Gusmão — a union that, years later, would give rise to the Braganza dynasty with the acclamation of D. João IV. The work falls within the encomiastic genre and uses mythological and historical references to extol the virtues of the bride and groom and their lineage. Manuel de Galhegos (c.1600–1665) was one of the leading Portuguese poets of the 17th century, an author of panegyric, religious and political poetry, and a figure close to court circles. This work is a significant testament to the literary production linked to the symbolic affirmation of the House of Braganza in the context prior to the Restoration. !
