Note on authorship: These “Lettres portugaises” were originally published as having been written by an unknown author in Portuguese and translated into French, also by an unknown translator. Eventually, they came to be ascribed to Sister Marianna Alcoforado, and countless editions were published throughout the centuries under her name. More recent scholarship, however, has considered more plausible that the letters were written by Gabriel de Guilleragues in French, and increasingly new editions are attributed to him. The authorship question is not settled, and new editions continue to be published attributing the letters to Sister Mariana as well.

Book Details

Edition Notes

A translation of "Lettres portugaises, seconde partie," seven letters by a "femme du monde" issued as a companion volume to the original "Lettres portugaises."

Long attributed to Mariana Alcoforado and were supposedly written to Noël Bouton, marquis de Chamilly in the year 1668, these letters are now attributed to Guilleragues. Cf. Wilpert, Gero von (ed.). Lexikon der Weltliteratur

Wing attributes to Alcoforado and lists imprint: "For Joanna Brome, 1681" and indicates the work is only at the Bodleian Library where the filmed copy is also located. Thus, probably not a variant even though imprint appears slightly different
