This paper presents the results of an analytical-descriptive study of the book "Matemática em versos e prosas" by Anníbal Marques da Costa, found in Clube Teatral Artur Azevedo, archives from the Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei (UFSJ), in Minas Gerais. The book has never been published and is a manuscript in two volumes produced between 1942 and 1954 aiming to promote Mathematics. It deals with the concepts and properties of elementary mathematics. The research enabled the development of a description and a historical and critical analysis of the text, enriched by some information about the author and the time he lived.
