This project has as an objective the critical editing of two letters written anonymously in thematically related heptasyllabic verses, with little time difference. These two letters, Carta que ha enviada la vila de Perpinyà a Cathalunya, ahont va contant totas sas desdichas and Resposta que fa Cataluña a una carta que li ha enviada la vila de Perpiñà, ab la qual plora las desdichas pateix en recompensa de innumerables servicis, which are propagandistic poetic broadsheets dated 1641, were intended to transmit political ideas related to the Catalan Revolt (1640-1652/59). In this regard, the project attempts to contribute to the recovery of political literature from this period by editing texts that until now could only be found in two documents from the XVII century, contextualizing them in this warlike incident.

Published in The Kingdom of the Spirit
Keywords: Agostinho da da Silva, Antonio Vieira, Fifth Empire, Joachim of Fiore, Kingdom of the Spirit.
Three utopian perspectives of the kingdom merge in Luso-Brazilian culture. The Abbot Joachim of Fiore (1135-1205) proposes a Trinitarian division of history into three states (status) of the world, and the Kingdom of the Spirit blooms in third. Derive of the contribution prophetic work of the Jesuit Antonio Vieira (1608-1692) the second perspective that divides history into three kingdoms of Christ, in which the last stage fulfils as a Consummated Kingdom of Christ or Fifth Empire, without the prediction of a Kingdom of the Spirit. Finally, Agostinho da Silva (1906-1994) takes up the Trinitarian division of history and projects a Kingdom of the Spirit as a recreation of the Fifth-imperialism, Messianic and Joachimite utopias, celebrated in the festivities of the Empire of the Divine Holy Spirit.
