The blessed Amadeo da Silva Meneses and introduction to the Apocalypsis Noua: redemption and eschatology in the XVI century

This paper attempts to show the context of blessed Amadeo da Silva, Apocalypsis Noua. We present the author as key to understand the work, and we essay to show certain theological issues, especially on redemption theology, from a Franciscan tradition. This presentation raises a new point of view about the eschatological and mariological perspective of Franciscan missionaries in American continent.
