Boileau's Le Lutrin, published in 1674 with two cantos added in 1683, was a parody of epic poetry that some argue inspired Alexander Pope's Rape of the Lock.In his translator's preface (pp. ix-x), Lima Leitão compares this poem to others of the same genre: Diniz da Cruz e Silva's O Hyssope, Tassoni's Secchia Rapita, Voltaire's Pucelle d'Orleans, Casti's Animali Parlanti, and the Batrachomyomachia attributed to Homer. He also discusses the difficulties of translating from French to Portuguese and why he's both a translator and a physician.On pp. 49-59 appears an ode to Camões by François Just Marie Raynouard (1761-1836), a French poet and dramatist who is known as the founder of Romance linguistics. Lima Leitão notes that he felt the need to translate this ode on Camões even though it had already been rendered into Portuguese by Filinto Elysio and Timotheo Lecussan Verdier.In 1834, the same year Lima Leitão's volume appeared, the Imprensa Nacional also published another translation of Le Lutrin: Tradução livre ou imitação do poema de Mr. de Boileau intitulado Le Lutrin ou Estante do Côro, by António Lobo de Barbosa Ferreira Teixeira Gyrão, 1.º Visconde de Vilarinho de São Romão, into outava rima. António José de Lima Leitão (1787-1856), a major figure in Portuguese medicine, was born in Lagos (Algarve), and served as a physician with the French and the Portuguese armies from 1808 to 1814, before moving to Brazil. In 1816 he was sent from Rio de Janeiro to Mozambique, where he was chief physician, and from there in 1819 to India, to act as Intendente de Agricultura. Lima Leitão was a professor at the Royal School of Surgery in Lisbon, president of the Lisbon Society of Medical Sciences, and an active contributor to the Portuguese medical press. He served twice in the Côrtes, published numerous works on medicine and politics, as well as some poetry and a translation of Virgil. *** Innocêncio I, 171.

The Real Escola de Cirurgia had been established in the Hospital de São José in 1825, only 3 years earlier. In 1836 it was combined with the school of medicine to form the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de Lisboa, which in 1911 became the basis for the Faculdade de Medicina at the University of Lisbon.Lima Leitão (1787-1856), a major figure in Portuguese medicine, was born in Lagos (Algarve) and served as a physician with the French and the Portuguese armies from 1808 to 1814, before moving to Brazil.

First and only translation of Jean Racine's (1639-1699) famous play in Portuguese, here in its first Brazilian edition. Iphigénie, as the play was called in French, was incredibly popular when it was first produced. Strongly based on the original play by the Greek tragedian Euripides (ca.480-406 BCE), it tells the story of Iphigenia, who has to be ritually sacrificed by her father Agamemnon to allow the Greeks to sail to Troy. All 5 acts of Racine's play are included in this translation. It is one of the earliest works published by Impressão Regia, the first publishing house of Brazil.Antonio José de Lima Leitao (1787-1856), the translator of this work, was born in Lagos (Algarve). He studied medicine and served as a physician with the French and Portuguese armies before moving to Brazil. In 1816, he was sent to Mozambique and later India, to work as a physician. He published numerous works on medicine and politics, as well as some poetry.The edges and spine of the wrapper show signs of wear, with small tears and discolouration around the edges and minor loss of material on the spine.
