Amsterdam, Querido, 1947 & 1948. 2 Volumes, 460, 414pp., 8vo original cloth. First edition. Very good. KEYWORDS:exil, Lisbon, Seara Nova, 1968.. 8°, original illustrated wrappers. Some browning. Overall in very good condition. Editor's signed eight-line presentation inscription on half title "Ao querido Américo, // esta pequenissima incursão // em domînios que são mais // seus do que meus // Com um grande abraço // próspero // do // Hernâni Cidade". xiii pp., (1 l.), 63 pp., (4 ll.). *** Fourth edition, "corrigida e ampliada," of the present selection. The Fenix renascida is a classic anthology of Portuguese "Gongorist" poetry. The popularity of the work in its time can perhaps be judged from the fact that the satirist Nicolau Tolentino (1741-1811) mentions wealthy nuns who memorized whole volumes of the Fenix (see Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 276).The Fenix is also important for Brazilian literature, since it contains two poems by Bernardo Vieira Ravasco (b. Bahia, 1619), brother of P. Antonio Vieira, considered a great poet by his contemporaries. The Fenix includes what are apparently the only two works of his to have been printed. One of these is included in the present anthology, a sonnet in Spanish entitled "A hum papagayo de Palacio, que fallava muyto" (p. 19, here attributed to an anonymous author).Among the Portuguese authors represented here, in addition to those mentioned above, are Soror Violante do Ceo, Francisco de Vasconcelos, D. Tomás de Noronha, D. Francisco Manuel de Melo, and André Nunes da Silva. The editor and compiler of this selection, Hernâni [António] Cidade (Redondo 1887-Évora 1975), is best known as an author of literary and cultural history and of literary biography. For a half century, he was a major force in the cultural life of Portugal. Cidade taught school in Coimbra, Leiria, Porto and Lisbon before moving on to an illustrious career in higher education at the Universities of Porto and Lisbon. In his youth Cidade was linked to the modernist movement, having been involved with the reviews Águia and Seara Nova, among others. He also collaborated in reviews such as those of the Faculdades de Letras of both Lisbon and Porto, newspapers (especially O Primeiro de Janeiro), and numerous collective projects such as the Grande enciclopédia portuguesa e brasileira and Dicionário de literatura. With Joaquim de Carvalho and Mário de Azevedo Gomes he edited the Diário liberal (Lisbon, 1934-1935); with Reynaldo dos Santos and Bernardo Marques he founded Colóquio - revista de artes e letras (1959-1970), and with Jacinto do Prado Coelho, in 1971, Colóquio / Letras (these last two published by the Gulbenkian Foundation).Provenance: Américo Cortez Pinto (1896-1979), physician, writer, poet and historian, native of the freguesia de Cortes in the concelho de Leiria. "Zezinha" is probably his wife. Américo Cortez Pinto studied at Coimbra, interned at Leira, served as a parliamentary deputy, a member of the Lisbon municipal council, and inspector of health studies, among other posts. He contributed to literary reviews such as A Tradição, Contemporânea, A Galera, Letras e Artes, and Ícaro, of which he was one of the founders, along with Ernesto Gonçalves, Cabral do Nascimento, and Luís Vieira de Castro. In addition to a considerable output of poetry, prose, literary and historical works, he is best known for the polemical Da famosa arte da imprimissão: da imprensa em Portugal às cruzadas d'Além-Mar (1948), in which he defended the priority of Leiria in Portuguese Christian typography. While Chaves currently is agreed to have been the earliest Portuguese Christian printing site, Cortez Pinto's investigations and conclusions regarding the diffusion of printing in Africa and Asia by the Portuguese remain valuable. Hernâni Cidade was one of Cortez Pinto's closest friends. Others were Afonso Lopes Vieira, Carlos Queiroz, Lino António, António José Saraiva, Sebastião Pestana, and Mário Saa.

Gomes in Biblos, IV, 179-80; also Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, III, 501-3; and Grande enciclopédia, VII, 818 and Actualização III, 498.*** See Álvaro Manuel Machado, Dicionário de literatura portuguesa, p. 128; Maria de Lourdes Belchior in Biblos I, 1132-4; Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, III, 344-5; Grande enciclopedia VI, 751; Actualização III, 226., Lisbon, Seara Nova, 1968., Roman: 2 Baende, 1947.
