"... or investigation of the etymology or origin of the names of our settlements."
Rare work, illustrated with the portrait of the author in anterrosto in the first volume.
Innocent XVII, 190: `Etymological attempt. It
is a very interesting work, in which the Mirbaya revbade has spent long
hours of studies, investigations and vigils, because it is proposed to
link the origin or provenance of geographic names in Portugal, names of
illustrious families and appellates, new work in Portugal and on the peninsula. Nor did the learned friars enter into this investigation. Only fr. Antonio de Sousa, in his vestiges of Arabic language, failed of some of our common names, originating from Arabic. This important work of rev. abbade of Miragaya dates from 1890, in which he concluded the Old and Modern Portugal. Pinho
Leal, a worthy auctor of this important dictionary, died on January 2,
1884, when the work was about in the middle of Volume X. The publication
being interrupted, the editors invited Rev. abbade
of Miragaya to continue and conclude, for having been the "first
cyrenéo" of the auctor, as this one quoted it repeatedly in the text of
the work. Accepted rev. abbate the invitation and fulfilled. He wrote, then, the continuation and conclusion of volume X and volumes XI and XII until the end. ABADE
