"Correcções e aditamento"). *** Hernâni [António] Cidade (Redondo 1887-Évora 1975) is best known as an author of literary and cultural history and of literary biography. For a half century, he was a major force in the cultural life of Portugal. Cidade taught school in Coimbra, Leiria, Porto and Lisbon before moving on to an illustrious career in higher education at the Universities of Porto and Lisbon. In his youth Cidade was linked to the modernist movement, having been involved with the reviews Águia and Seara Nova, among others. He also collaborated in reviews such as those of the Faculdades de Letras of both Lisbon and Porto, newspapers (especially O Primeiro de Janeiro), and numerous collective projects such as the Grande enciclopédia portuguesa e brasileira and Dicionário de literatura. With Joaquim de Carvalho and Mário de Azevedo Gomes he edited the Diário liberal (Lisbon, 1934-1935); with Reynaldo dos Santos and Bernardo Marques he founded Colóquio - revista de artes e letras (1959-1970), and with Jacinto do Prado Coelho, in 1971, Colóquio / Letras (these last two published by the Gulbenkian Foundation).Provenance: Américo Cortez Pinto (1896-1979), physician, writer, poet and historian, native of the freguesia de Cortes in the concelho de Leiria.

In addition to a considerable output of poetry, prose, literary and historical works, he is best known for the polemical Da famosa arte da imprimissão: da imprensa em Portugal às cruzadas d'Além-Mar (1948), in which he defended the priority of Leiria in Portuguese Christian typography. While Chaves currently is agreed to have been the earliest Portuguese Christian printing site, Cortez Pinto's investigations and conclusions regarding the diffusion of printing in Africa and Asia by the Portuguese remain valuable.

The Fenix renascida is a classic anthology of Portuguese "Gongorist" poetry. The popularity of the work in its time can perhaps be judged from the fact that the satirist Nicolau Tolentino (1741-1811) mentions wealthy nuns who memorized whole volumes of the Fenix (see Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 276).The Fenix is also important for Brazilian literature, since it contains two poems by Bernardo Vieira Ravasco (b. Bahia, 1619), brother of P. Antonio Vieira, considered a great poet by his contemporaries. The Fenix includes what are apparently the only two works of his to have been printed. One of these is included in the present anthology, a sonnet in Spanish entitled "A hum papagayo de Palacio, que fallava muyto" (p. 19, here attributed to an anonymous author).Among the Portuguese authors represented here, in addition to those mentioned above, are Soror Violante do Ceo, Francisco de Vasconcelos, D. Tomás de Noronha, D. Francisco Manuel de Melo, and André Nunes da Silva.
