has survived every test. His works are not merely the _deliciae_ of a few distant scholars but an acknowledged glory of the nation, praised by that literary iconoclast Macedo, and quoted as an authority in the Republican Parliament of 1915. The most popular of his works are _Luz e Calor_, and especially the _Nova Floresta_, in which moral and familiar anecdote go quaintly hand in hand, but if one must choose between excellence and excellence his masterpiece is the _Exercicios Espirituaes_, in which thought and expression often rise to sublime heights. One may perhaps compare him with Fray Juan de los Ángeles (†1609). His simple doctrines spring from the heart and, winged by shrewd knowledge of men, touch the heart of his readers. One of his more immediate followers was Padre MANUEL CONSCIENCIA (_c._ 1669-1739), author of a large number of works on moral and religious subjects, the best known of which is _A Mocidade enganada e desenganada_ (6 vols., 1729-38). FOOTNOTES: [553] _Dial._ x. 4. [554] The dates given by Barbosa Machado are Rector 1565, Provincial 1571. [555] He introduces himself as a theologian in his dialogues, and one may infer several facts concerning his life, e. g. that he had been in Rome (_Imagem_, Pt. 2, 1593 ed., f. 351 v.), Montserrat (f. 88), Marseilles (f. 88), Savoy (f. 295), Madrid (f. 190), that he kept a diary (f. 190), that he was _curioso de antigualhas_ (f. 352). [556] Macedo, quoted by Innocencio da Silva (iii. 176), alleged this to be a ‘faithful translation’ from Petrarca. Why Petrarca (1304-74) should praise Belem Convent and Coimbra University, refer to the recent death (1557) of King João III, or speak of ‘our’ Francisco de Hollanda we are not told. Pinto in a later dialogue, _Da Tranquillidade da Vida_, refers to Petrarca’s _Vita Solitaria_ (Pt. 2, 1593 ed., f. 47 v.). [557] Since 1590 is implied as the date of this dialogue on f. 290 of the 1593 edition it must be emphasized that the _Segunda Parte_ appeared originally in 1572. [558] Pt. 2, 1593 ed., f. 366 v.: _eu revolvo os livros ... com grandes trabalhos & vigilias_. [559] Cf. _Dialogos_, 1604 ed., f. 346: _Coimbra, onde gastei a flor de minha adolescencia._ (This edition really has but 344 ff. since f. 29 follows f. 22.) [560] _Dialogos de Dom Frey Amador Arraiz_, Coimbra, 1604. The idea of the work belonged to his brother, Jeronimo Arraez, who did not live to complete what he had begun. [561] The same variety occurs in _Poderes de Amor em geral e horas de conversaçam particular_ (1657), by Frei Cristovam Godinho (_c._ 1600-71) of Evora. [562] He wrote the life of the prior, Frei Luis de Montoia, whose _Vida de Christo_ he completed. [563] _Tendo elle sua mãi e irmãos muito ricos e a Condessa de Linhares sua irmãa, todos offerecidos a pagar o grosso resgate que os Mouros pediam, por saberem a qualidade de sua pessoa_ (_Cronica do Cardeal Rei D. Henrique_, p. 38).
