MARIZ (Pedro de). HISTÓRIA da Vida Milagres e Canonização do Bemaventurado S. Hyacintho da Ordem dos Pregadores. Lisboa. 1965. - MARIZ (Pedro de) HISTÓRIA da Vida Milagres e Canonização do Bemaventurado S. Hyacintho da Ordem dos Pregadores . Lisboa: Instituto de Alta Cultura, 1965. 224 pp.; 240 mm. A modern edition, prepared and presented by Virgínia Rau and Jorge Borges de Macedo, of the History of the Life, Miracles and Canonization of Blessed St. Hyacintho , a text by Pedro de Mariz, author of the Dialogos de Varia Historia (Coimbra, 1594), based on a manuscript from 1611. The volume opens with a study on the biography and work of Pedro de Mariz. The account of the life of St. Hyacinth, a Dominican saint, reflects the interest aroused by his canonization, widely disseminated in Catholic Europe, and by the saint's enthronement in Lisbon in 1594. It recounts the rapid spread of the cult in Portugal, with manifestations of great popular participation, and the establishment of the brotherhood of St. Hyacinth, whose statutes are transcribed. The editors emphasize its value as a source for understanding the Portuguese mentality of the early 17th century, the influence of religious orders, art history, and ethnography, due to the meticulous detail with which it describes the relationship between cult and institution. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
