Domingos particular do Reino e Conquistas de Portngal, reformada e ampliada por Sousa, com a Quarta Parte (ou Continuacao) por Lucas de Santa Catharina, 4 vols. folio, cal/, VERY RARE, £6. 1623-62-78-1733 -—- the same, 4 vols. sm. folio, old calf, £2, 10s Lisboa, 1767 A History of the Dominican Order, containing the lives of Saints and ecclesiastics with an account of the establish- ment of Convents in Europe, Asia, and America. In the midst of a mass of silly stories recounting the miraculous works of dead men, there is an immense quan- tity of valuable information, biographical and historical. The work begins with the birth of St. Dominick in 1170, and contains a record of more than five hundred-years. ‘he number of Irish members of the order is remarkable, and as each one is separately treated of, this history must be regarded asa desiderandum in an English library. The rarity, and the difficulty of obtaining complete copies, of the original ed:tion, are evinced by the dates of the volumes, Luis de Souza who wrote the first three volumes from the undigested collections of Cacegas, died after the first volume was printed in the Convent of Bemfica. Vol. 2, was published by Antonio da Incarnacao in Lisbon in 1662, (not 1626 as Brunet has it); and the third was given to the press afier the death of the latter, by an anonymous fellow- monk; and with this volume the original work of Luis de Souza terminated. The Supplement was, however, given to the world in 1773; and the entire work was reprinted in 1767. The reprint is tolerably scarce, but the original set of four volumes is, as above said, extremely rare.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b30858197_0013.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
