Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FREIRE, FRANCISCO JOSE (1719-1773) , Portuguese historian and philologist, was born at
Lisbon
  on the 3rd of January 1719. He belonged to the monastic society of St Philip
Neri
 , and was a zealous member of the literary association known as the
Academy
  of Arcadians, in connexion with which he adopted the pseudonym of Candido Lusitano. He contributed much to the improvement of the style of Portuguese
prose
  literature, but his endeavour to effect a reformation in the national poetry by a
translation
  of
Horace
 's Ars poelica was less successful. The
work
  in which he set forth his opinions regarding the vicious
taste
  pervading the current Portuguese
prose
  literature is entitled Maximas sabre a Arte Oratoria (1745) and is preceded by a chronological table forming almost a social and
physical
  history of Portugal. His best known
work
 , however, is his Vida do Infante D. Henrique (1758), which has given him a place in the first rank of Portuguese historians, and has been translated into French (Paris, 1781). He also wrote a poetical dictionary (Diccionario poetico) and a
translation
  of Racine's Athalie (1762), and his Reflexions sur la langue portugaise was published in 1842 by the
Lisbon
  society for the promotion of useful knowledge. He died at.
Mafra
  on the 5th of July 1773.
