[EAN: 9789725653432], [SC: 48.01], [PU: Lisbon, Biblioteca Nacional, 2002.], BRAZIL, CATHOLIC CHURCH, LITERATURE, SERMONS, Large 8°, original illustrated wrappers. As new. 25 pp., (1, 12 ll.), 208 pp., illus. One of 500 copies. *** LIMITED EDITION: one of 500 copies. Facsimile reproduction of the first edition, Lisbon: António Pedrozo Galram, 1702, which is very rare, as is the second, Rio de Janeiro: Plancher, 1828. Plancher published a third edition in 1830, which is also rare. Borba de Moraes writes, "The Frutas do Brasil are sermons written in an allegorical style using analogies and parables, as done by monks since medieval times. The fruits of Brazil are employed as symbols used in parables. It is curious to note that at the beginning of the nineteenth century the sermons of the Frutas do Brazil were considered humorous." Fr. Antonio do Rosario was born in Lisbon in 1647, and as a Discalced Augustinian used the name Fr. Antonio de Sancta Maria. In 1686 he became a Franciscan and served as a missionary in Pernambuco and in Bahia, where he died. Fr. Antonio wrote in the style of Gongora, but after moving to Brazil switched from using ancient Greek images to Brazilian fruits, flowers, birds, and rivers. This "Brazilian gongorism," as Borba calls it, influenced writers such as Rocha Pitta and Botelho de Oliveira. Gerald Moser (paraphrased by Borba) stated that Antonio do Rosario "was the author who introduced Brazilian flora into imaginative literature by way of religious and moral allegory." His other works include Carta de marear, Lisbon 1698.*** See Borba de Moraes (1983), II, 748-50., Books<
