Of all the author's works, this is the most esteemed since it is the least doctrinal, dedicating itself almost exclusively to the religious ceremonies of the Consecration of the Basilica of Mafra. It is enriched with 3 beautiful engravings open with burin in copper plate, the first a plan of part of the Convent, the second a plan of the Basilica, and a third of large dimensions representing the entire façade of the convent, with the interesting detail of having glued the floor plan of the atrium and staircase in place of the entrance. VERY RARE.
