AZEVEDO (J. Lucio de). A EVOLUÇÃO do Sebastianismo. Lisboa. 1947. - AZEVEDO (J. Lucio de) A EVOLUÇÃO do Sebastianismo . 2.ª edição, corrigida e simplificada. Lisboa: Livraria Clássica Editora, 1947. 184 pp.; 230 mm. Second edition, corrected and simplified. João Lúcio de Azevedo (Sintra, 1855 - Lisbon, 1933), a merchant established in Pará for two decades, dedicated the second half of his life to historical research. Among his reference works are The Jesuits in Grão-Pará (1901), The Marquis of Pombal and his Era (1909), History of the Portuguese New Christians (1921) and the Eras of Economic Portugal (1929). The Evolution of Sebastianism , first published in 1918, is a historical and critical study of the genesis and development of messianic belief in Portugal, from its roots in Jewish hope in the Messiah and the prophecies of the Trancoso shoemaker Gonçalo Anes Bandarra to its modern manifestations. This second edition, prepared based on research subsequent to the first printing, corrects errors, eliminates notes considered unnecessary, and omits extracts from the trial of Luís Dias, the so-called ”Messiah of Setúbal, ” as the author deemed them irrelevant to the central theme. The documentary transcriptions have also been modernized in terms of spelling. (Estimated.) ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
