Lisboa: Livraria Bertrand, s.d. 286, [2] pp.; 190 mm. First edition. Anastácio da Cunha: The Penitentied Professor is a biographical study dedicated to José Anastácio da Cunha (Lisbon, 1744 - Coimbra, 1787), mathematician, poet, and Enlightenment thinker, professor at the University of Coimbra, imprisoned by the Inquisition in 1778 due to his philosophical ideas and his proximity to heterodox European thought. Condemned and removed from teaching, Anastácio da Cunha is also the author of Principios Mathematicos (published posthumously, c. 1790), a work that places him among the forerunners of modern rigor in mathematical analysis. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
