Compilacao - COMPILAÇÃO dos Estatutos da Provincia de Santa Soledade da Ordem do N.P.S. Francisco da Regular Observancia dos Descalços no Reyno de Portugal . Feita, ordenada, e accrescentada no Anno de 1749. Sendo Ministro Procincial Fr. Boaventura de Barcellos [...]. Porto: Na Offic. Episcopal de Manuel Pedroso Coimbra, 1751. [22], [2 br.], 288 pp.; 245 mm. The Province of Santa Maria da Soledade belonged to the Friars Minor of the Regular Observance (Capuchins/Discalced) and was established in 1673 , split from the Province of Piedade, consolidating a network of convents in the north of the Kingdom marked by austere discipline and a regular life of ”the strictest observance.” The chapter house was established in the Convent of Santo António do Vale da Piedade , in Vila Nova de Gaia, which served as the administrative and spiritual center of the Province. In the mid-18th century, Soledade maintained a novitiate, internal studies, and self-government, and also assumed missionary responsibilities, notably in Cape Verde and Guinea . This volume— Compilation of Statutes (Porto, 1751)—brings together the internal legislation that regulated conventual life, offices, ceremonies, and discipline, constituting an essential source for understanding the eighteenth-century Capuchin world. Like the other religious houses, the Province was extinguished in 1834 , with the incorporation of its assets into the National Treasury. !
