MENESES (Francisco de Sá de)

MALACA Conqvistada por o Grande Af.º de Albvqverqve. Poema Heroico de Fran.co de Sáa de Meneses com os Argumentos de Dona Bernarda Fereira. Em Lisboa: Por Mathias Rodrigues, 1634.

+, A-V8, X4; [8]-163-[1] ff.; 150 mm.

FIRST EDITION. VERY RARE. Francisco de Sá de Meneses (?-1664)’s only published work was this heroic poem prompted by our expansionist activity. Professing the Order of St. Dominic after the death of his wife, he brought a crusading spirit to this poem, with João de Barros’ narrative about the conquest of Malacca by Afonso de Albuquerque emerging in it.
