D. xlj.- [Lisboa: Luís Rodrigues, 1541].- [8], CLXXI f.; 27 cm.- E., First Portuguese edition of a work based on the “Ecclesiastical History” by Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 260/265- ca. 339/340) and his successors (especially Rufino and Cassiodoro), the translation being the responsibility of the Dominican Friar Juan de la Cruz. The author was Bishop of Caesarea and is considered the first historian of the Church, his writings being indispensable for the knowledge of the Early Church. The work, divided into nine books, was republished in Coimbra, by João Álvares, in 1554. On the verso of the last page, an ingenious colophon forming two triangles that ends “Acabose en la muy noble y leal ciudad de Lixboa. xv. from October. 1541”. Copy a little cropped with browning sometimes accentuated. Two small old inscriptions, one crossed out, on the title page; occasional minor restorations. Full leather binding, 20th century, with slight wear to the spine. Inocêncio III, p. 192 (extremely rare work). Samodães, 1553 (refers to only 8, 150 folios). Palau, 84777.
