About This Item
Rio de Janeiro, Impressão Regia, 1816.. First Edition in Portuguese; first Brazilian edition. 4°, stitched. Woodcut vignette with two crossed trumpets and laurel wreath on title page. Very light soiling to title page. In very good to fine condition. (4 ll.), 53 pp., (1 blank l.). *4, A-G4. *** Apparently the first and only separate translation of this play to Portuguese, and the first Brazilian edition. Lima Leitão (1787-1856) was born in Lagos (Algarve), and served as a physician with the French and the Portuguese armies before moving to Brazil. In 1816 he was sent from Rio de Janeiro to Mozambique, where he was chief physician, and from there in 1819 to India, to act as Intendente de Agricultura. Lima Leitão also taught medicine in Lisbon and served twice in the Cortes. He published numerous works on medicine and politics, as well as some poetry. *** Valle Cabral 426.
