Beyond its detailed topographical descriptions, Matos Sequeira reconstructs historical episodes, notable personalities and aspects of everyday life, connecting the evolution of urban spaces with the people who inhabited them.

Illustrated with photographic reproductions, historical engravings, plans, drawings and genealogical material, the work is distinguished by the wealth of information assembled and its value as a reference for Lisbon's urban history. A complete set of four volumes, of particular importance for researchers studying local history, architecture, urban planning and the city's architectural heritage.

António de Oliveira de Cadornega

REF.29931

Year 1972

Lisbon; General Overseas Agency; In-8th of 3 volumes; Illustrated; Brooch

Work annotated and corrected by José Matias Delgado. The General History of the Angolan Wars, published in Lisbon in 1680, by António de Oliveira Cadornega, Captain of the Portuguese conquest, having lived for about fifty years in Angola, of which 28 in Massangano and 23 in Luanda. This was the first story written in Angola by a longtime Angolan resident, thus reflecting with greater extension and detail the history of the peoples of the region and of the Portuguese conquest. Cadornega´s work differs from the other "Histórias de Angola" in that it does not emphasize the missionary nature of the Christian faith as much. He wrote the "General History of the Angolan Wars" for a wider audience, although still restricted to those in Portugal and Brazil who were interested in the life and history of Angola at that time.
