I have asked her and doesn't feel to do such a work...
What can I do ?
Well, you have a very intelligent and talented wife. Who else comes near her in ability to tackle such a task? Is It because this is somewhat R-rated?
I know my own family in the UK would be simply shocked and appalled by the poetic sensuality. But have you read the “Son of Songs” from the Bible by King Solomon? That is the most erotic beautiful poetry outside of William Shakespeare’s “Sonnets”!
I would imagine a translation into English, Spanish and French would be amazing!
Luisa would be the Jorge Luis Borges of the Península Ibérical!
Besides, I am now interested in the history and life of your ancestor. This would make a great movie!
But Luisa is so qualified as she adores you and Setúbal anyway and has all the unusually fine skills to deal with the Portuguese language and the barriers and segmentation of society in his lifetime.
What romances, hardships and fight to success did he have. I feel that you are duty-bound to press it.
Why else did they make those photographs to record the people around him for posterity. It’s not an accident! It’s a duty!
