S. LUIS (Fr. Francisco de). ERRATAS (?) na Tradução Portuguesa da História Geral de Portugal de La Clede.

S. LUIS (Fr. Francisco de)
ERRATAS miúdas na Tradução Portuguesa da História Geral de Portugal M.r de la Clede. pelo Bispo Conde D. Francisco de S. Luiz. 1837.

manuscrito sobre papel, 41 ff., numerados de 3 a 84. Cartonado.

Manuscript containing what appear to be notes made to La Clede's classic work on our history by Cardinal Saraiva. The text begins with a note on the reasons why he wrote these notes:

«The Index that we are going to publish aims to briefly note some of the many errors, which at every step are found in Mr. de la Clede, translated into Portuguese, and thus warn those who learn our History, and especially Portuguese youth, so that they do not allow themselves to be deceived when reading it.»

Each small chapter of this manuscript deals with each volume of the Portuguese edition of this work. At the end there is a copy of a letter sent by Cardinal Saraiva to a friend responding to his request about who, in his opinion, were the main Portuguese classical writers with regard to the “purity of language.”

We cannot say for sure whether it is an original handwritten by Cardinal Saraiva himself or whether it is a copy made by some secretary or interested party.
