Note 326 — CHAP. III. HISTORY OF PORTUGUESE POETRY AND ELOQUENCE, FROM THE LATTER YEARS OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY UNTIL TOWARDS THE CLOSE OF THE SEVENTEENTH.

Thomasina Ross translation

Seram politico, abuso emendado, &c. por Felix da Castanheira Turacem. Lisb. 1704, in 4to. Some of the certificates of the Censors, which are printed with this work, are dated in 1695. In old Portuguese the word Politico, signifies all that belongs to polite manners. Hence Rodriguez Lobo’s works are entitled, Obras politicas, see page 227. Seram or seraõ properly signifies the place where an evening party, for some period, regularly assembles.—Felix de Castanheira’s name does not occur in Machado’s dictionary of learned men.
