Um Tomás Contumaz : a prisão de Pinto Brandão na Baía e um inédito de Gregório de Matos sobre o tema

Abstract

This article attempts to discuss and shed light on a little-known episode in the life of the Porto poet Tomás Pinto Brandão (1664-1743) during his stay in Brazil: his imprisonment in Bahia. The authors present a commentary to and an edition of an as yet unedited poem by the poet from Bahia Gregório de Matos (1636-1695) on this episode.
