1706CA013416555 pages. Octavo 8" x 6" bound in full leather with raised bands with red labels and gilt lettering to spine. Palau 32887 First edition.<br /><br />Antonio Maria Bonucci was a Jusuit priest and Antonio Vieira's secretary for the last ten years of his life. Since Bonucci was Vieira's secretary until his Vieira's death in 1697 and was well aware of the content of Vieira's work it is surprising that he wrote and managed to get a book published in 1706 in which eh seemingly follows some of Vieira's ideas regarding the succession of time. When one reads the first "book" of this work they have the impression that the content and structure are very much similar to some passages of Vieira's Clavis Prophetarum. A study of this book will provide further light on Vieira's interpretation of the succession of empires particularly when analyzing his chapter on "how the time of the Antichrist should be understood in the Fifth empire while Christ's empire would thus be counted as the sixth. Antonio Vieira was a Portuguese Jesuit philosopher and writer the "prince" of Catholic pulpit-orators of his time. He accompanied his parents to the colony of Brazil where his father had been posted as a registrar. He received his education at the Jesuit college at Bahia. In 1635 he entered the priesthood. He distinguished himself as an orator. He was one of the reformers during the inquisition and his enemies had him exiled to Coimbra. this work is a kind of universal history one of its interest is that the dedication was written in Bahia.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Recased with renewed spine and labels and end papers corners rubbed leather boards scuffed and rubbed early signature to title minor dampstaining else a very good copy.
