DO USO de Mariana da Comçeição. s.l.: s.n., s.d. [s.XVII].
Manuscrito sobre papel; 19 ff. não numerados; 155 mm. Encadernação inteira de pergaminho da época com atilho.
A very curious manuscript, written by a cloistered nun, but whose Convent it was not possible to identify. It contains some personal reflections, transformed into the form of prayer, followed by the Marian Office, also handwritten, with capital letters in red.
A note from an old professional bookseller identifies the nun Mariana da Conceição with Mariana Alcoforado. Even though such an association is possible given the sister’s name and the chronological period to which she belongs, it seems unwise to make such a statement without a more detailed study.
However, it is still a very curious manuscript.
