O pau-brasil \u00e9 uma \u00e1rvore grande, da fam\u00edlia das cesalpini\u00e1ceas, que ocorre no Brasil, em outros pa\u00edses sul-americanos e nas Antilhas. \u00c9 armada de espinhos que se estendem at\u00e9 a r\u00e1quis (nervura principal) das folhas; possui galhos abundantes e casca cinzenta e esponjosa. As flores s\u00e3o pequenas e amarelas, formando pan\u00edculas terminais; o fruto \u00e9 uma vagem comprida e seca, com sementes pretas. O cerne da madeira \u00e9 cor de brasa, de onde vem o nome “brasil”, ou pau-brasil, dado pelos portugueses. Por ocasi\u00e3o do in\u00edcio da coloniza\u00e7\u00e3o, o litoral brasileiro era muito rico \"\"nessa planta, que ainda hoje \u00e9 abundante em serras e grot\u00f5es. Tornou-se objeto de importante com\u00e9rcio, quer por parte dos portugueses, quer de cors\u00e1rios de v\u00e1rias nacionalidades que ent\u00e3o infestavam o litoral. Tornou-se t\u00e3o apreciada que o nome se estendeu ao pa\u00eds. Serve para constru\u00e7\u00e3o naval, marcenaria de luxo, obras de torno, arcos de violino e dormentes de primeira qualidade. Produz a brasilina, mat\u00e9ria corante vermelha, outrora muito empregada para tingir tecidos de algod\u00e3o e de seda, bem como na fabrica\u00e7\u00e3o de tinta de escrever vermelha, mas hoje praticamente em desuso. (M\u00e9rito.)<\/p>\n

Eurico de G\u00f3is refere-se, em sua interessante obra “O Culto e o Amor ao Livro”, a um manuscrito da Biblioteca de N\u00e1poles intitulado “De Arte Illuminandi”, datado do ano 1400 de nossa era. O texto explica que as cores rosa e vermelho, usadas nessas iluminuras, “se fabricam com excelente madeira de brasil (brasilii). Esta n\u00e3o deve ter sido outra que o pau-brasil”. Ter-se-ia explorado o nosso pa\u00eds em t\u00e3o vasta escala antes da vinda de Cabral? Ali\u00e1s, n\u00e3o h\u00e1 d\u00favida de que outros navegadores estiveram aqui antes do almirante portugu\u00eas. \u2014 A Fascinante Hist\u00f3ria do Livro. (Iluminura era um delicado trabalho de ornamenta\u00e7\u00e3o executado \u00e0 m\u00e3o, muito comum em livros e pergaminhos da Idade M\u00e9dia, constitu\u00eddo de letras ricamente coloridas, folhagens, flores, etc. \u2014 Dic.)<\/p>\n

Atrav\u00e9s da B\u00edblia, \u00e1rvores s\u00e3o empregadas para representar pessoas. Crist\u00e3os sadios s\u00e3o comparados a \u00e1rvores junto a rios (Salmo 1:3), dos quais absorvem seiva abundante. Podemos comparar essa seiva ao Esp\u00edrito Santo, que d\u00e1 for\u00e7a e vigor ao crente.<\/p>\n
