  • Summary

    I am the one who in Genesis figures by the water that flows through the four rivers that rule the terrestrial paradise. From that water, as the Psalm says, God nourished the people. And I am that Law that God through Jeremiah said He wanted to write on the hearts of men. And the Law that Isaiah and Micah prophesied would come forth from mount Zion. On which mount Christ Jesus fulfilled these prophecies proclaiming me as his Gospel. And he commanded his disciples to preach me through the entire world to all creation; and who believed in me, and were baptized, would be saved, as you may be by accepting this his doctrine, and through this preaching and professing I am known to all the earth, as I said to you.

  • Summary

    Manuel Severim de Faria (1584–1655) studied theology and served as canon at the cathedral of Évora, in southern Portugal. Influenced by an uncle who was also a canon, he is the author of various essays with insightful reflections on Portugal and its overseas possessions, later developed in Notícias de Portugal, a collection of essays dedicated to João IV written roughly three decades before its publication in 1655.

  • Showcasing texts by Portuguese and Luso-Brazilian authors, this volume demonstrates the wealth of the political thought of early modern Portugal and its empire. Gathering together important texts on social order, government, and politics by authors who made a significant contribution to the development of early modern Portugal, it demonstrates that Portugal was the setting for vibrant political debate, often shaped by, and emerging in response to, very particular assumptions, circumstances, and concerns. Combining a chronological approach with in-depth thematic sections, the book explores how some controversies that took place in Portugal centred on themes similar to those in other European countries, while others were linked to the specific nature and history of the Portuguese monarchy and its interactions with other polities. It thus offers an overview of the main debates on politics and government and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of the multifaceted history of European political ideas.
