Summary "Relação do formidavel, e lastimoso terremoto succedido no Reino de Valença" is a historical account of a devastating earthquake written in the mid-18th century. This publication details the catastrophic events that unfolded in Valença, highlighting the destruction and human suffering caused by the earthquake that struck on March 23, 1748. It serves as both a record of the disaster and a reflection on the philosophical and natural explanations surrounding earthquakes. The book meticulously describes the earthquake's effects on Valença and surrounding areas, documenting the extensive damage to buildings and loss of life. It recounts the tremor experienced in various locations, including significant structural collapses, the emotional turmoil of residents, and the ensuing chaos as people fled to safety. The author also weaves in historical references and philosophical thoughts regarding earthquakes, illustrating how this natural disaster has been perceived over the centuries. Ultimately, the account stresses the divine retribution aspect, as seen through the lens of the author's time, linking the calamity to moral failings of the populace while calling for humility and supplication to divine mercy.
