Teatro português em Marrocos no tempo de Filipe II : o testemunho do Cancioneiro de D. Maria Henriques

Resumo

The author studies the drama production by D. Francisco da Costa,  Portuguese ambassador to Morocco, first under the rule of Cardinal D. Henrique (1579 1580) and later under the rule of Filipe II (1590 1591). This study also incoporates D. Francisco da Costa's  drama production in the  literary context  of  "the  so  called  Cancioneiro  de  D. Maria  Henriques" and  in the historical and cultural framework of that period. This research work pays especial attention to its similarities with the chronicles narrating the aspects and conditions of the Portuguese captive in Morocco after the Battle of Alcácer Quibir.
