Mata, Antonio Gomez da, Testamento que Fez António Gomez da Mata, 1652
MATA (António Gomes da)
TESTAMENTO que fez Antonio Gomez da Mata, Correyo mór que foi deste Reyno de Portugal. Lisboa: Na Officina Craesbeeckiana, 1652.
[]2, A-R4; [4], 136 pp.; 190 mm.
António Gomes da Mata died in 1641 while serving as the Postmaster General of the Kingdom in the corresponding Palace located in Loures. This Testament, the only work published in his name, “is written in a very correct phrase, appropriate to the subject: it involves a very large number of donations and pious legacies, and breathes throughout the Catholicism and devotion of its author, offering the most complete contrast to the suspicions that someone wanted to cast on the faith of the Postmaster General” [Inoc.]. The same bibliographer tells us that only three copies were known in his time, so the work is very rare.
