Espiritualidade Portátil. Um mundo a reconhecer?

Abstract

After contextualizing the edition and the tradition of the reading of spirituality books - from prayer books to treatises of spiritual theology - in small or even tiny format - which competed to make them accessible by their cost and by their size, also making them «perishable» objects –, we study two works in very small format and of extreme rarity - the Paraphrasis do Psalmo Beati immaculati... (Lisbon, 1630), by Pedro Calvo, O.P., and the Declaração do Padre Nosso (Lisbon, 1624) by Martim Afonso de Miranda, a soldier doublé in moralist - trying to integrate these comments in their bibliographical and devotional tradition.
