Revista e Prefaciada por D. Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcelos. Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1922. XII, 168, [2] pp.; 210 mm.

The text, originally published in 1899 as a contribution to the homage to Menéndez y Pelayo, is reprinted here with appendices on the library, the monetary records, and the Constable's will. The Tragedy of the Illustrious Queen Doña Isabel , written in Castilian Spanish by D. Pedro of Portugal, Constable (1429-1466), prince of the so-called Illustrious Generation, is a treatise on moral philosophy written in the form of a Dantean vision, in prose interspersed with lyricism, lamenting the premature death of his mother, D. Isabel of Coimbra (1432-1455), wife of D. Afonso V. The work is part of the medieval tradition of philosophical consolation, echoing the Book of Job, Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy , and Seneca's moral treatises, and constitutes one of the most unique literary testimonies of a prince of the Avis dynasty.
