Abstract(s)
No panorama artístico do Portugal dos séculos XVII e XVIII, os bispos foram dos principais actores cujo mecenato
se encontra, em grande parte, ainda por estudar. Neste contexto, encontramos personas que, no seu tempo,
se afirmaram pelo seu enorme intelecto e erudição: entre estas figuras, destaca-se D. João de Mendonça, bispo
que governou a diocese egitaniense durante vinte e três anos e sete meses, e cujo legado é mormente associado
aos Jardins do Paço Episcopal de Castelo Branco. Apoiando-nos na análise do inventário póstumo, e no
princípio diz-nos o que lês, dir-te-emos quem és, iremos desvelar o conteúdo da sua extensa e valiosa
biblioteca, a qual revela um homem com uma visão mundividente da existência humana.
In the artistic panorama of Portugal in the 17th and 18th centuries, the bishops were one of the main actors whose patronage is still largely unstudied. In this context, we find people who, in their time, stood out for their enormous intellect and erudition: among these figures, stands out D. João de Mendonça, bishop who governed the diocese of Guarda for twenty and three years and seven months, and whose legacy is mainly associated to the Jardins do Paço Episcopal de Castelo Branco. Based on the analysis of the posthumous inventory, and on the principle tell us what you read, we will tell you who you are, we will unveil the content of its extensive and valuable library, which reveals a man with a worldview of the human existence.
