Summary "As obras dos Jeronymos" by Luciano Cordeiro is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the restoration and reconstruction efforts of the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon, Portugal, examining the architectural and artistic ambitions associated with this significant monument. Cordeiro critiques the intentions and outcomes of these works, highlighting the difficulties and misjudgments that plagued the project. In the book, Cordeiro presents a thorough analysis of the efforts made to restore the Jerónimos Monastery, emphasizing the conflict between the need for a functional institution, such as the Casa Pia for orphans, and the artistic ideals of restoring a historic landmark. He discusses the various architects involved, the proposed designs, and the eventual failures, including a catastrophic collapse that drew attention to the inadequacies of the construction methods. Cordeiro advocates for a holistic understanding of the monument's historical significance and integrity while suggesting alternative uses for the space that would honor its heritage, rather than compromise it with modern institutional needs.
