Pedro, monk of the Order of St. Jerome, offered to the Prince of Brazil, D. José, the future D. José I. Although the title indicates volume I, the work is complete in this volume. It includes a copper engraving of St. Jerome, signed by Miguel Le Bouteux, a French engraver active in Lisbon. Fr. João de S. Pedro (Lisbon, 1692) professed in the Monastery of Belém in 1709, was prior of several convents and elected general of his Congregation in 1739. Before this work he had published two panegyric sermons on St. Jerome, one of them printed in Lisbon in 1727, and, under the anagram Damião de Froes Perim, the Theatro Heroino (Lisbon, 1736–1740). ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
