Other noted preachers were the Jesuits Francisco do Amaral (1593-1647), who published the first (and only) volume of his Sermões (1641) in the year in which Vieira came to Portugal, and Francisco de Mendonça (1573-1626), a master of clear and vigorous prose in his two volumes of Sermões (1636, 9); and the Trinitarian Baltasar Paez (1570-1638), whose Sermões de Quaresma (2 pts., 1631, 3), Sermões da Semana Santa (1630), Marial de Sermões (1649), may still be read with profit.
