FIRST (and only?) EDITIONS of three rare imprints from the mouth of the Amazon.
Page viii of the first work explains that new
statutes were needed for the Ordem Terceira
de S. Francisco because the Order had raised
funds to operate a hospital and asylum, and
had also ceased to cooperate with another group
of Franciscans. The Estatutos set out rules for
admission into the Order and the duties of its
members and officers.
