Play of Saint Lawrence (Portuguese: Auto de São Lourenço) is one of the most well-known plays by Joseph of Anchieta.[1] It is written in Portuguese, Spanish, Old Tupi, and Old Guarani,[2] reflecting the social reality of the time.[3] It records ethnographic information, such as the tearful salutation,[4] as well as toponyms and sparsely documented episodes, such as the Battle of the Canoes.[5][3] Play of Saint Lawrence was first performed in Saint Lawrence Chapel, in what would later become the city of Niterói.[6] According to Armando Cardoso, this would have occurred on 10 August 1587, during Anchieta's visit as provincial.[6] The work was adapted by Guilherme de Almeida.[7]
