Joao de Brito Lima

LIMA, Joao de Brito, Brazilian poet, born in Bahia, 22 October, 1671; died there, 25 November, 1747. He received his education from private tutors, and entered a convent in early life. Soon afterward he became known as one of the best Portuguese poets of his time. In 1718 "O conde de Villaflor" was published in Lisbon, and other poems soon appeared. A second volume of his compositions was published (Lisbon, 1742), and he left "Poema epico Cezaria, narrando la genealogia de D. Vasco Fernandes, conde de Sabugosa, suas accoes e sucessos nos governos da India e do Brazil," "A profissao de duas irmaes no convento de Santa Clara na Bahia," and "D. Luiz Alvares de Figueiredo," which are now (1887) in course of publication by the Instituto geographico Brazileiro.
