"Leys da história", "estilo claro", "ordem e sucessão das cousas" na História do Futuro do Padre Antônio Vieira

In the Livro Anteprimeiro da História do Futuro - and also the other books that compose the História do Futuro - it is possible to analyze the elements of the historiography in which Antonio Vieira was inserted and maybe we can find clues of the reasons of using history and its elements as a way of defense during the Inquisition.
