Thomas Of Andrada
Thomas of Jesus OAD, (Lisbon, 1529 – Morocco, April 17, 1582), also known as ''Tome de Jesus'' and ''Tomé de Andrade'', was a reformer and preacher, instrumental in creating the Discalced Augustinians. Life Thomas of Andrada was born in Lisbon in 1529, and "belonged to one of the most illustrious house of Portugal". Thomas joined the Order of Saint Augustine at the age of fifteen and took the religious name ''Thomas of Jesus''. His attempts to reform the order met with little success as his zeal for a stricter observance only raised violent opposition and hardship for himself, and he was forced to desist. Nonetheless, after his death the regulations he had proposed were later adopted by those Augustinians who formed the discalced branch. He was a chaplain with Sebastian of Portugal's campaign against Morocco in 1578.

An archive is an accumulation of historical records or materials, in any medium, or the physical facility in which they are located. Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the history and function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative, or social activities. They have been metaphorically defined as "the secretions of an organism", and are distinguished from documents that have been consciously written or created to communicate a particular message to posterity.

Imprimatur
An imprimatur (sometimes abbreviated as ''impr.'', from Latin, "let it be printed") is a declaration authorizing publication of a book. The term is also applied loosely to any mark of approval or endorsement. The imprimatur rule in the Catholic Church effectively dates from the dawn of printing, and is first seen in the printing and publishing centres of Germany and Venice; many secular states or cities began to require registration or approval of published works around the same time, and in some countries such restrictions still continue, though the collapse of the Soviet bloc has reduced their number. Catholic Church In the Catholic Church an imprimatur is an official declaration by a Church authority that a book or other printed work may be published; it is usually only applied for and granted to books on religious topics from a Catholic perspective. Approval is given in accordance with canons 822 to 832 of the Code of Canon Law, which do not require the use of the wor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
