In one controversy, she had dared to critique a sermon by the Jesuit priest António Vieyra. This volume collects Vieyra's sermon, a defense of him by a Portuguese nun (translated into Spanish), and the oration read at Vieyra's funeral. None sold at auction. Medina BHA 2809 (no collation); Palau 364442.
