As Várias Rimas ao Bom Jesus, de Diogo Bernardes, e os seus contextos

Resumo

This study articulates the analyses of the text with the available documents, establishing  the circunstances surrounding the organization and edition of Bernardes'  work. particularly the text entitled  Várias Rimas  ao  Born  Jesus,  published  in 1594. In the second  part of this study,  the author  explains  how the text  written  by the brother  of Fr. Agostinho  da Cruz is profoundly identified with the late 16th Century and early 17th Century dominant religious sentiments. Therefore, the author examines the relationships that can be established between this text and N. Ésquio 's Exercícios, and the texts  which  were, at a certain  point, influenced  by the biblical Psalms, particularly those considered as «penilential».
