A handwritten copy of a biography of Antonio Vieira, which was first published in Lisbon in 1746. Vieira was a Portuguese missionary and Jesuit priest who spent much of his life in Brazil. The text relates mostly to events in Maranhão and Parà. The text of the copy is nearly identical to that of the printed version from Lisbon in 1746, lacking only the preliminaries (with one exception), the errata and the index. This handwritten copy's paragraphs are numbered continuously throughout the books, using arabic numerals, with the final number being 1252. In contrast, the paragraphs in the published copy are numbered with roman numerals, which start over with each new book. The total number of paragraphs in the ms. is only 4 fewer than the print copies, whose paragraphs (when added together) equal 1256.
