Resumo: | In this article, we analyze the work Vida portentosa da serva de Deus D. Thomázia de Jesus, written by Dominican João Franco and published in 1757. Belonging to the biographical genre, the work describes the physical and psychological characteristics, the chaste life and the extreme devotion of a religious and literate portuguese woman, presenting her as a model of virtue and sanctity. The work written by the Dominican becomes even more singular, not only because the woman who was the subject of the biography died in the same year in which Lisbon would be hit by an earthquake, but also because its author – and also her confessor and spiritual director – found himself forced to rewrite a large part of the text, due to, precisely, the loss of the originals as a consequence of the cataclysm. |

Thomázia de Jesus, escrita pelo dominicano João Franco e publicada em 1757. Esta obra, do gênero biográfico, se detém na descrição das características físicas e psicológicas, na vida casta, na extrema devoção e religiosidade de uma mulher letrada portuguesa, apresentando-a como modelo de virtude e santidade. A obra adquire contornos singulares, porque a biografada morreu no ano em que Lisboa foi atingida por um terremoto, e porque seu biógrafo, confessor e diretor espiritual, foi obrigado a reescrever parte do texto, devido à perda dos originais em decorrência do cataclismo.Editora FGV2015-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/41974Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 28 No. 55 (2015): Religion; 27-50Revista Estudos Históricos; v. 28 n. 55 (2015): Religião; 27-502178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/41974/54413Copyright (c) 2015 Revista Estudos Históricosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFleck, Eliane Cristina DeckmannDillmann, Mauro2017-09-13T13:43:41Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/41974Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:58.829559Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true |
