Fourth printing, supplemented with the treatise ”Dominion over Fortune, ” from the most widely disseminated work of António de Sousa de Macedo (Porto, 1606 - Lisbon, 1682), jurist, diplomat and writer, Judge of the Court of Appeals, Secretary of State to King Afonso VI and a central figure in Portuguese intellectual life during the Restoration. Eva and Ave, whose first edition is from Lisbon, 1676, is a vast compilation of theological scholarship and Christian philosophy, arranged in two symmetrical parts: the first, dedicated to the state of the world ”fallen into Eve, ” expounds the human condition after the fall; the second, ”raised into Ave, ” describes redemption through Marian intercession. The work mobilizes encyclopedic scholarship—Scripture, Church Fathers, ancient and scholastic philosophy, historians, and poets—in a register that is simultaneously apologetic and of literary apparatus, which earned it wide reception in the Iberian world and beyond. This fourth printing, dedicated to D. José Pereira de Lacerda, Bishop of the Algarve, incorporates for the first time ”Dominion over Fortune, ” a treatise on moral philosophy that did not appear in the three previous editions (Lisbon, 1676; Lisbon, 1686; Lisbon, 1700).
