Texto da tradução de Frei António de Pádua e Bellas, religioso da Arrábida, segundo a edição de 1791, da Tipografia Rolandiana, de Lisboa, revista, actualizada e prefaciada por Plínio Salgado. Direcção literária de Plínio Salgado. Orientação artística e ilustrações do Pintor António-Lino. Lisboa: Editorial Verbo, 1962. XXXVI, 310, [4] pp.: il.; 280 mm. A comprehensive edition of the most widely disseminated work of Christian spirituality after the Bible, attributed to Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471), a Dutch Augustinian monk, and written in the early 15th century. The source text is the Portuguese translation by Friar António de Pádua e Bellas, a religious figure from Arrábida, published in Lisbon by Tipografia Rolandiana in 1791 – one of the most highly regarded Portuguese versions of the work – here revised and updated by Plínio Salgado (Itápolis, São Paulo, 1895 – São Paulo, 1975), who wrote the preface in Brasília, intending it, in his own words, for the use and meditation of the Portuguese community scattered across various continents. The work was carried out with artistic guidance and illustrations by António-Lino, a Portuguese painter with a strong presence in the Luso-Brazilian publishing scene of the 1940s-1960s. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
