The project aims to revise and transcribe, to annotate and to create a lexicon of the History of the Future, by António Vieira.
The Text
The Text
This text consists of the papers written, in a fragmentary and very incomplete form, by Vieira, between 1649 and 1665, for this work, which were seized by the Inquisition at the time of the author's arrest, in 1665, and were attached (from attachment 5 onwards) to the Process (Torre do Tombo: Lisbon Inquisition, Process 01664).
Lúcio de Azevedo published for the first time, in 1918, the most organised set of these fragments and this publication, which was not easily accessible, was reproduced, in 1953, by Sérgio & Cidade, in an edition that became its vulgate.
As Vieira is a writer unanimously recognised as one of the most virtuous cultivators of the Portuguese language, the linguistic dimension of his work is, naturally, alongside the literary and historical-cultural dimensions, of the greatest relevance, with emphasis on the lexical and morphosyntactic domains, areas in which Vieira's prose has been recognised as innovative in relation to other great contemporary authors, such as D. Francisco Manuel de Melo.
The corpus
The corpus
Based on the review of the two editions mentioned above, a non-lemmatized corpus was created, with 38,999 occurrences and 6,411 different words.
Lexical lists were also created, alphabetically, by descending frequency, or ordered by the end of a word, allowing us to see the availability of the suffix system.
The corpus contains a valuable Latin intertext, which was manually processed to form an autonomous subcorpus.
The lexical annotation should lead to the elaboration of a lexicon of the History of the Future, while the morphosyntactic annotation will make it possible to trace some of the most innovative aspects of Vieira's prose, namely the positioning of clitic pronouns.

This corpus was annotated morphologically, using the LX-Tagger tool, available in PORTULAN-CLARIN, and reviewed manually. The DataSet was enriched mannually.
