About This Item
Lisbon, Na Officina de Miguel Manescal da Costa, 1767.. 8°, later orange wrappers. Small woodcut vignette on title page. Light browning and dampstains. Overall in good condition. (2 ll.), 11 pp. *** Second edition, according to the title page, of this satire on tobacco, in neo-Latin verse, with introduction in Portuguese. The first edition was published in Lisbon, 1756. The title translates roughly as, "The Nose Deceived and Undeceived; Tobacco Ridiculed and Defended, An Excuse for the Thrifty and a Pretext for Fops; A Work of Great Consolation for the Stingy, Mean, and Beggarly, and of Great Utility to Cheap Noses, Meddlers and Bores, and for Mouths Addicted to Chewing the Pipe and Cigars." The poem was reprinted in the third and fourth editions of Macarronea latino-portugueza, 1791 and 1816 (and perhaps in earlier editions as well), a collection of silly or humorous neo-Latin poetry. The earliest edition mentioned in Innocêncio is 1765; he adds that it was often reprinted, "por ser sempre procurado, e bem acceito."João da Silva Rebelo was born at Sortão, near Alcobaça, and by 1746 was attending the Coimbra University, where he published his first work, the very popular Palito metrico. He later published other works under the pseudonym António Duarte Ferrão, which he uses here. Many of them were published in the Macarronea. He was a secular presbyter, serving from 1774 to 1780 the church of Nossa Senhora da Nazareth. He died in the 1790s, in his 80s.*** This work not listed separately by Innocêncio; on the author, see IV, 36-7 and X, 349, citing only two of the author's other works, with the comment that he didn't know where any copies could be found. Porbase locates Two copies, both at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal; no other separate edition. Jisc locates this edition at Manchester University and the 1756 edition at Liverpool University.
