For a half century, he was a major force in the cultural life of Portugal.

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.

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.

4°, twentieth century (final quarter) antique sheep; spine gilt with raised bands in six compartments (some wear, especially near foot), red morocco lettering piece in second compartment from head with gilt author and short title, text block edges rouged. Woodcut vignette of a rose with Jesuit initials on title page. Typographical headpiece and woodcut initial on p. 1. In good to very good condition. (1 l.), 22 pp. [ ]1, A-C4. *** Second edition [?] of this Ash Wednesday sermon preached at the Royal Chapel in Lisbon. Sacramento Blake notes that J.C. Fernandes Pinheiro believed this sermon was only rivaled by Vieira's best work. There are at least three different editions with the imprint Coimbra: Rodrigo de Carvalho Coutinho, 1673. We have not been able to find any source which distinguishes them. The edition described by Arouca, and the one in the John Carter Brown Library have their titles as follows: "Sermam // do // Dia de Cinza // que pregou // o P. Antonio de Saa // Da Companhia de Jesu, & Prégador de Sua // Magestade, na Cappella Real." Another edition reads "Sermam // do // Dia de Cinza // que pregou // o P. Antonio de Saa Da // Companhai de Jesu, & Prega- //dor de S. Magestade, na // Capella Real." The woodcut vignette on the title page is similar, but from a different block. The typographical headpiece and woodcut initial on p. 1 are different. The rest of the text follows, but the type is slightly different. This present edition would appear to be later, based on the more regular setting of the title, and may be later than that of the JCB. The title page is divided in the same way as the JCB copy, but in a different setting of type. The vignette on the title page is slightly different, and very different from that of the copy with the less regular setting of the title, while the typographical headpiece and woodcut initial are different from both the JCB copy and the presumed earlier one. Moreover, the signatures are signed A-C4, while the other two 1673 editions are signed [ ]1, A-B4, C3. Again, the rest of the text follows, but in a different setting of type. Arouca cites two editions [or issues?] of 1669. We have noted a variance between words in the title in two different editions with the imprint Coimbra: Rodrigo de Carvalho Coutinho, 1673. The titles of each item read "Companhia de Jesus" versus "Companhia de Jesu" respectively.The Jesuit P. António de Sáa (1627-1678), a native of Rio de Janeiro, is acknowledged to have been one of the best orators of his time and the most worthy successor to his mentor, P. António Vieira. Innocêncio comments, "Todos os criticos são concordes em consideral-o como orador de linguagem mui pura, de estylo correcto e elegante, e finalmente como um dos que mais se approximaram de Vieira, ou antes como seu melhor discipulo." He worked primarily in Bahia and Recife, although after spending a few years in Portugal, he became so popular there that he was almost forbidden permission to return to Brazil. His sermons were often collected and reprinted, but the separate editions are of considerable rarity: none are listed in the Bosch catalogue, Azevedo-Samodães, or Ameal. Palha, Monteverde and Avila-Perez list only one each, and BMC lists only three sermons in a total of five editions. *** Arouca S5. Borba de Moraes II, 757; Périodo Colonial, p. 313.

Kjøbenhavn, 1825. 8vo. Samtidigt halvshirtbindd med grønne glanspapirpermer håndskreven rygtiteletiket. Lidt brugsspor. Med fællestitelbladet og den fælles indholdsfortegnelse til de tre afhandlinger samt alle tre særskilte titelblade. (4), 49, (1)" (80), (2), 54 pp. Den særdeles sjældne originaludgave af Howitz' "Læren om Viljens Frihed", samlingen af hans tre indlæg i Howitz-fejden, striden om viljens frihed, som blev samlet under ét med et fælles titelblad og fælles indholdsfortegnelse, som næsten aldrig ses. Med viderunderlig egenhændig dedikation til "Hr. Dr. Martensen,/ fra Høsten i Sorø./ I Anledning af Deres/ Besøg hos mig d. 17. Juli/ og tilskyndet af Deres/ M: E: s. 21, L 4 f.n./ er jeg saa frie at udbede/ mig en Plads for denne/ Bog paa Deres Hylde./ Hengiveligst P: Hjort." M:E: er en forkortelse for Martensens hovedværk, "Mester Eckart", i hvilket han på s. 21, fra 4. l. f.n. skriver følende "Hvad er Frihed? Frit er, hvad der ikke hefter ved et Andet. Gud hefter ikke ved Noget, han svæver i sig selv og er fri for alle ting. Til Frihed hører ogsaa Herredømme, at man besidder mange og skiønne Ting." Hjorts tre vigtige indlæg i Howitz-fejden er sjældne hver for sig, men ses stort set aldrig smmen, og endnu sjældnere med det fælles titelblad."Med afhandlingen "Om Afsindighed og Tilregnelse, et Bidrag til Psykologien og Retslæren", indledte Howitz i 1824 det 19. århundredes danske diskussion om viljens frihed." (Koch, Den danske idealisme, p. 183). Howitz mente, at samtidens retslærde (med Ørsted i spidsen) ikke forstod forholdet mellem menneskets normale fornuftstilstand og den afsindige tilstand, og han påbegyndte dermed en diskussion af det juridiske begreb om tilregnelighed, bag hvilket han mente at se Kants frihedslære. På flere fronter foregriber han emner, der forekommer meget moderne. For det første var hans mål i opposition til Ørsted at få ændret synet på domme i straffesager, hvor ydre omstændigheder burde siges at kunne svække den sagsøgtes evne til at handle fuldt rationelt, - en foregriben af moderne retspraksis.Samtidig behandler han spørgsmålet om sindssygdom som et spørgsmål om enhver anden legemlig sygdom. Han gør sig til talsmand for en biologisk funderet psykiatri, der sidestiller psykiske lidelser med fysiske lidelser ved at finde sædet for denne type sygdomme i hjernen.Med Hume søger Howitz således at gendrive Kants lære om menneskets frihed. Han sætter lighedstegn mellem forholdet motiv-handling og forholdet årsag-virkning, og således kan der, ifølge Howitz, når det gælder menneskelige handlinger, heller ikke findes noget, der er uden årsag. Howitz opfattede dog ikke, helt på linie med Hume, denne naturnødvendighed som værende i modstrid med friheden.Der er ingen tvivl om, at et skrift af den art som Howitz' "Om Afsindighed og Tilregnelse" har virket provokerende på den filosofisk idealistiske samtid, der ikke anerkendte nogen form for materialistisk determinisme, og det var nærmest en nødvendighed for de vigtigste filosofisk aktive skribenter i Danmark at svare på dette provokerende skrift.Således skriver først Ørsted allerede samme år "Et Par Ord" i Anledning af den foranstaaende Afhandling". Fejden, striden om viljens frihed, er nu i fuld gang, og hele det filosofiske Danmark inddrages heri. Allerede samme år svarer Howitz igen på Ørsteds svar, med sit værk "Determinismen eller Hume imod Kant". Howitz fastholder heri sine meninger fra det første indlæg, og sætter trumf på ved bl.a. at påpege, "at den kantske frihed er en videnskabelig uting, idet det må gælde for såvel den moralske som den fysiske natur, at den er underkastet love." (Koch, p. 191)Året efter følger Hjorts tre provokerende indlæg, de tre separate værker, som blev samlet under titlen "Læren om Villiens Frihed. Forsvaret imod en Mediciners Angreb."Hjorts indlæg imod Howitz er præget af ordkløveri, uklarhed og påstuleren og er -ligesom Mynsters- skrevet ud fra en bevidsthed om at indtage en overlegen position i forhold til den angrebne." (C.H. Koch, "Den danske idealisme", p. 202).Presentation-copy of the extremely scarce first edition of Hjort's three highly important contributions to the Howitz-feud, the feud about free will, which were collected under the title "The Notion of Free Will" w. a joint title-page and contents-leaf, which are very scarce. None of the parts are commonly seen on the market, it is very rare to see two or three of them together, and it is extremely scarce to see them all with the joint title-page. The presentation is excellent. It is for the famous Danish Professor of theology, Martensen, who, at the time of Kierkegaard, was the leading and most influential theologist in Denmark. In the presentation Hjort makes a reference to a particular place in Martensen's main work, "Mester Eckart", in which he mentions the question of free will. The presentation is signed "P. Hjort".In the Feud on Free Will, Hjort published these three separate works, in which he attacks Howitz and with him Hume.
