Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is the work of a Portuguese clergyman and scholar, and deals with the topic of the Four Last Things. This was a popular subject of contemplation in medieval Europe, and it is still of interest to scholars who are interested in the history of the Christian church. The author takes the four last things, Death, Judgement, Hell, and Heaven, as the subject of a single work in order to synthesize the extant knowledge on the subject from the point of view of his time. The work opens with a verse complaining that the poem authored by the author has been forgotten. This is followed by an introduction to the Four Last Things in which the author argues that they should not be the subject of poetry because they are universally known and accepted truths. However, he proceeds with the poem, and in the remaining chapters he discusses each of the Four Last Things in turn. These descriptions are largely speculative and descriptive, and reference a variety of sources, including the Bible, mythology, and legend.
