Dialogues of St Gregory. Lives of Saints. Book of the Birds. Medieval manuscripts of the UnB.Abstract
The purpose of this article is to present some key ideas about the three medieval manuscripts from the “Biblioteca Central” (BCE) of the University of Brasilia (UnB): “Diálogos de S. Gregório” (Dialogues of St Gregory), “Vidas de Santos” (Lives of Saints) e “Livro das Aves” (Book of the Birds). Those manuscripts came from the portuguese universe of medieval religious books, in which universe the religious has a main role, as all over the Christian Western. The medieval manuscripts of the UnB were not result of a latin intertwined text, but a translation to Portuguese in order to facilitate the understanding of the public to whom they were destined: mainly clergymen (regular or secular), even though without excluding secular readers
