Resumen de Gomes Eanes ovvero un fiorentino del Portogallo
This book is a collection of letters addressed to Gomes Eanes, the abbot of the Badia Fiorentina between 1419 and 1439, but curiously what is absent in it is precisely the protagonist himself. However, we come to know a world filled with Portuguese clients who resort to him for a wide variety of motives. Also present are monks with their own stories of financial debts, their need to assist old and sick relatives, problems of the most serious sort touching on the reform of the order, the perils they have undergone in their travels, their concerns about going on trips on horseback, and other such problems that one would have trouble finding in official documents.
