SOUSA (Fr. Luís de). ANAIS de D. João III. Lisboa. 1938. - SOUSA (Fr. Luís de) ANAIS de D. João III . Com prefácio e notas do prof. M. Rodrigues Lapa. Lisboa: Livraria Sá da Costa-Editora, 1938. 2 v.; 250 mm. (Colecção de Clássicos Sá da Costa) Estimated edition, included in the important Clássicos Sá da Costa collection, with a preface and notes by M. Rodrigues Lapa. The work, written towards the end of Frei Luís de Sousa's life, remained unfinished, having been published for the first time only in 1844 by Alexandre Herculano, in a partial edition. The Annals of King John III cover the reign (1521-1557) with the narrative richness and stylistic mastery that characterize all of Frei Luís de Sousa's work. They contain information of primary importance about Portuguese expansion in the East, the politics of the Philippine crown, and Portuguese society in the 16th century. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
