Viagem Santa - SACRAMENTO (Fr. António do) VIAGEM Santa , e Peregrinação Devota . Que aos santos lugares de Jerusalém em que se obrou a nossa Redempção, fez nos annos de mil setecentos e trinta e nove, e quarenta Fr. Antonio do Sacramento. Lisboa: Na Officina de Miguel Manescal da Costa, 1748. *-***, A-Z, Aa-Tt8, Vv3; [48], 196, [8], 474 pp.; 210 mm. The Holy Journey and Devout Pilgrimage to Jerusalem is one of the most characteristic Portuguese accounts of the Franciscan pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the 18th century. Friar António do Sacramento, a religious of the Order of St. Francis (from the Province of Portugal), describes the journey undertaken in 1739–1740 , combining practical travel observations with the devotional framework typical of the genre: the approach to the Holy Places, the pilgrim's experience, and contact with the spiritual topography of Jerusalem. The work is organized in a very clear way: a first part focused on the journey from Portugal to the Holy Land and its return , and a second focused on the visit to the Holy Places , paying attention to local itineraries and devotional practices that structured the pilgrim's experience. Published in Lisbon in 1748, it retains a dual interest today—as a travel narrative (with the direct perspective of a Portuguese friar traveling through the eastern Mediterranean) and as a testament to Catholic pilgrimage culture in modern times. Regarding the author, Friar Antônio do Sacramento (18th century) appears linked to the religious and memoir writing of his Order, and this title stands out as his most ”lived” work: less an abstract treatise, more a record of journey and presence, written to guide, edify and, at the same time, fix the memory of a pilgrimage actually undertaken. !
