Paris; Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian — Centro Cultural Português; In-8.º of (8), 608 pages; Bound.

An important historical and biographical study of João Bernardo da Rocha Loureiro (1778–1853), a Portuguese journalist, writer and pioneering advocate of liberal ideas.

The work explores the circulation of liberal ideas and the role of the press in opposing absolutism, contributing to the understanding of the origins of Portuguese liberalism and the political movements of the early nineteenth century.

Written in French, the book comprises a detailed biography in six chapters, an extensive examination of Rocha Loureiro's journalistic activities, a substantial bibliography and indexes of names and periodicals. It forms volume VIII of the «Civilização Portuguesa» series, published by the Portuguese Cultural Centre of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. An important reference for the history of Portuguese liberalism and political journalism.

Year 1979

Paris; Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian — Centro Cultural Português; In-4.º of IX(1), 386 pages; Bound.

An important historical and biographical study devoted to Father Gabriel de Magalhães (1609–1677), a Portuguese Jesuit missionary who spent much of his life in seventeenth-century China. Irène Pih examines his missionary career, his involvement with the Jesuit mission in Beijing and his connections with the Chinese imperial court, highlighting the importance of European missionaries' scientific and technical knowledge in facilitating contacts between the two civilisations. The work makes a valuable contribution to the history of Portuguese missions in the East and cultural and diplomatic relations between Portugal and China.

Written mainly in French, the book includes an important documentary section in Portuguese, containing transcriptions of manuscripts by Gabriel de Magalhães on pages 253–369. With bibliography and indexes, it forms volume XIV of the «Cultura Medieval e Moderna» series, published by the Portuguese Cultural Centre of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation. An important reference for the study of the Jesuit presence in China and the history of Portuguese-Chinese relations.
