Lisboa. 1715. - LEITÃO (Manuel Rodrigues) TRATADO Analytico & Apologetico, sobre os provimentos dos bispados da Coroa de Portugal . Calumnias de Castella Convencidas: Resposta a seu author Dom Francisco Ramos del Manzano. Justifica-se o Procedimento do senhor Rey D. João IV & do Senhor Rey D. Affonso VI seu filho, com a Sé Apostólica. Lisboa: Offic. Deslandesiana, 1715. Portada, *6, **4, A-Z, Aa-Zz, Aaa-Zzz, Aaaa-Zzzz, Aaaaa-Ddddd6, [20], 1152 pp.: il.; 305 mm. This work was commissioned by Manuel Rodrigues Leitão in 1659, with the aim of refuting the Treatise on the Provision of the Bishoprics of Portugal by D. Francisco Ramos del Manzano. The Portuguese Court ordered it printed twenty years after the author's death for political reasons, according to Inocêncio's conjecture. The renowned bibliographer attests that the date of printing coincides with the period of disagreements between King John V and Pope Clement XI due to the pontiff's refusal to appoint the nuncio in Lisbon as cardinal. Therefore, the publication of this treatise is seen as a formal threat to break relations with the Church of Rome. Inocêncio further states that, in doctrinal terms, this work has earned great esteem from all generations, being constantly cited in the matters it addresses. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate ¶ Inocêncio, v.6, 94-95.
