The original work dates from 1745. It has explanations and doctrines of the Holy Fathers for the reform of customs in all states and people: Composed in the French language By N…. de Royaumont, Prior de Sombreval.
This book, a third edition, dates from 1758, the year of the extremely brief Távoras Process and under the leadership of Prime Minister Sebastião José de Carvalho e Melo, led by Luiz Paulino da Silva e Azevedo.
