Year 1635

Zaragoza; Diego Dormer; In-8th of (24) 390 (10) pages; Bound 

Very rare first edition of this important and esteemed book, one of the most interesting works we have for the study of morals, customs and practices of the 17th century, with special mention of the rules of dress and the use of ornaments and other luxuries. To develop this work, the author relies on texts from doctors of the Church and regulations issued by the Crown (Philip IV, Pragmatics of 1623). Since the Modern Age, the Crown has been issuing pragmatic measures aimed at controlling luxury in clothing. The Dominican Tomás Ramón imagined a society in which the individuals that formed it were differentiated by the clothing with which they covered their bodies. The first chapter is devoted to the abuse of oils, the second to excessive female hairstyles, the third to the footwear that should be worn, the fourth to women, the fifth to clothing, the sixth to widows, the seventh to all states, the eighth to horses and carriages, the ninth to cultured language, and the tenth and last to the abuse of tobacco and the regulation of its consumption. Illustrated with the coat of arms of Zaragoza engraved in woodcut. Copy with full leather binding, core with occasional old restorations, in good general condition. It has ownership signatures on the title page.

1stEdition

Brussels; s/l; In-8º of (10)328 pages; Bound

"...with the Most Serene Maria Sophia Izabel de Babiera, Monarchs of Portugal. The grandeurs are recounted, the entries are narrated. The festivities that will be celebrated in the distinguished City and Court of Lisbon, from August 11 to October 25, 1687, are referred to. The Descriptions. Dedicated to Sir Jeronimo Nunes da Costa." RARE FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this narrative in verse that describes the festivities - including illuminations, triumphal arches, bonfires and bullfights - celebrated in Lisbon on the occasion of the wedding of D. Pedro II (1648-1706) with Maria Sofia Isabel (1666-1699), daughter of Philip William of Neuburg, Count Palatine. In the prologue, the author observes that the royal nuptials can best be described by a poem rather than by a prose narrative: "I know well that the excellences of these Nuptial Regions Praises, were more Subject for the eloquence of a Poem, than Matter for the limitations of a Report." The 92 branches present extensive poetic descriptions of Maria Sofia's arrival in Lisbon, of a day of bullfighting (pp. 159–252), of a fireworks display (pp. 253–290) and of a second day of bullfighting (pp. 291–328). Each section of the poem is preceded by a few italicized lines explaining the upcoming "scene", often giving details of the actors, scenery, costumes and gold and silver ornaments. For example: "In the midst of this siege, a beautiful fortress stood with four superb bastions and eight impressive sentry boxes, crowned by an imminent castle; many giant sailors armed with lances and rodellas could be seen around the waters, from which violent fires were hidden" (p. 260). The charming title page incorporates the combined arms of D. Pedro II and his wife, surmounted by a large crown. From the crown extend a dragon and a large bird holding crowns over the women who flank their arms. On the left, "Galiope" (sic, for Calliope, muse of epic poetry) is crowned with a globe and a cross bearing the name of Mary, and holds a trumpet in her right hand. On the right is Talia (Talia, muse of comedy), crowned with a globe bearing the name of Pedro, and holding a stringed instrument. Above the arms and the muses, two putti hold three banners with part of the title. The end of the author's prologue explains the use of these two figures: "In the severity of Reays, the Epithalamios do not lose their festive condition; in this one that I present to you, I adorn the serious one with the finery of the joyful one; valhome of the heroic one of CALIOPE, without despising the pleasant one of TALIA: with the Clarion of that one, I specify the greatness; with the Plectrum of this one, I solemnize the festivities" D. Pedro II of Portugal (1648-1706) was the second surviving son of D. João IV. From 1668 onwards, she was regent for her elder brother, D. Afonso VI, who was mentally disabled, whom she exiled to the Azores and later to Sintra, where Afonso died in 1683. Afonso's marriage to Maria Francisca of Savoy had been annulled as it had never been consummated. D. Pedro married his former sister-in-law in 1668, and bore her a daughter, Isabel Luisa Josefa of Portugal, who became heir to the throne. The combination of D. Isabel's poor health and the strict rules of succession to the Portuguese throne led to the cancellation of engagements with royal descendants throughout Europe, which earned her the nickname "the Ever-Bride". When Maria Francisca died in 1683, D. Pedro intended to secure the succession by marrying a woman from a notoriously fertile and well-connected family. He sent Manuel da Silva Teles to Heidelberg to ask for the hand of Maria Sofia, daughter of the Count Palatinate, sister of Leonor Madalena, Leopold's third wife. Copy with contemporary binding in full leather, decorated with gold edges, with slight damage typical of handling. Core with traces of woodpeckers (two or three holes, depending on the pages) maintaining the sonority of the paper.

GOVIERNO GENERAL, MORAL, Y POLITICO. Hallado en las aves mas generosas, y nobles.

REF.35869
Year 1683
2ndEdition

Madrid; Bernardo de Villa-Diego Press; In-8º of (40) 432 (32) pages; Illustrated; Bound

This is a classic of emblematic literature from the Spanish Golden Age, written by the Dominican friar Andrés Ferrer de Valdecebro (1620-1680). The work was initially published in Madrid in 1670. The book is a treatise on morality and politics that uses the virtues and natural properties of birds (such as the pelican, the falcon, the parrot, etc.) as examples and allegories to convey teachings on good governance and Christian customs. It is a work that blends the fantastic zoology of the time with morality, forming part of the tradition of emblem books of the Baroque period. It was frequently used as a source of reference for sermons, given its rich symbolism. In later editions, even a chapter on "monstrous birds" was added. This illustrated second edition contains 18 woodcuts depicting the birds studied. As indicated on the title page, this print was added in different parts, such as Book 19, which deals with Monstrous Birds. The beautiful frontispiece, as well as the other engravings, is by Diego de Obragón. It covers numerous birds and their characteristics, including the eagle, the vulture, the heron, the swan, the phoenix, the pelican, the falcon, the parrot, the peacock, the dove, and others. Copy with contemporary binding with slight signs of handling, ownership signature on the flyleaf, clean interior maintaining the sonority of the paper, with a slight marginal stain on the last 40 pages without affecting the reading of the text.

HISTORIA GENEALOGICA DA CASA REAL PORTUGUEZA
HISTORIA GENEALOGICA DA CASA REAL PORTUGUEZA

D. António Caetano de Sousa 
REF.35541
Year 1735/48
1stEdition

Lisbon; Joseph Antonio da Sylva's Workshop; In-4º of 20 volumes; Illustrated; Hardcover

A very rare original edition of this monumental work of Portuguese historiography. It is an extensive genealogical and historical compendium that documents, with rigor and erudition, the lineage of the Portuguese monarchy from the founding of the Kingdom to the first half of the 18th century. This first edition was printed in Lisbon, at the Joseph Antonio da Sylva Workshop, and is divided into 13 volumes in 14 volumes (the last divided into two parts), 6 supplementary volumes of "PROOFS OF THE GENEALOGICAL HISTORY OF THE PORTUGUESE ROYAL HOUSE," documentary evidence extracted from archives such as the Torre do Tombo and the House of Bragança, and a final volume with the "GENERAL INDEX OF APPELLATIONS, PROPER NAMES." D. António Caetano de Sousa, a Theatine cleric and founding member of the Royal Academy of Portuguese History, dedicated decades to genealogical and historical research, relying on the direct support of King John V, who granted him an annual pension so he could hire a secretary and access rare and scattered sources. The work is not limited to a simple enumeration of names and dates: it traces family relationships, describes political and social contexts, and reveals the behind-the-scenes details of the dynastic alliances that shaped the country's destiny. Genealogy is used as a guiding thread to explore the evolution of the House of Braganza, its connections with other European noble houses, and the impact of these relationships on the power structure in Portugal. Printed on high-quality linen paper, with refined typography and two-color title pages, the printer began as head of the Royal Academy of History and, in 1739, began serving the Portuguese Royal Household, giving rise to the future National Press. The first volumes are richly decorated with vignettes, historical capitals, coats of arms, and royal portraits, engraved by artists such as Simmon and Debrie. Notable illustrations include the allegory of the Lusitanian Monarchy (Vieira Lusitano e Rochefort), the author's portrait, and symbolic and historical scenes. Volume IV includes engravings of Portuguese royal seals, coins, and medals, creating a visually impressive collection of great documentary value. These copies are newly bound with leather spines and corners, and are in good overall condition. The pages are trimmed throughout, with the top margin slightly shortened from the others, but very clean and retaining the sound of the thick paper. The title page has slight, old restorations. The front cover bears an early ownership signature (1744) and a more recent stamp/signature. These are excellent copies.

REF.35875
Year 1874
2ndEdition

Porto; Imprensa Portugueza; In-4º of 2 volumes with 525(7) and 368(2) pages; Bound

Originally published in 1649, this work is one of the most important documents in the history of music in Portugal and in European musical bibliography. It is an inventory of the extraordinary musical library assembled by D. João IV (1604-1656), King of Portugal, who was not only a monarch but also a great music lover and patron of music.

The catalog lists thousands of musical works, including theoretical treatises, sacred and secular scores, polyphonic compositions, and collections of plainchant, bringing together Portuguese and foreign authors. Among the names mentioned are central figures of Renaissance and Baroque music, such as Palestrina, Lassus, Victoria, and many others, as well as Portuguese composers of the time.
This second edition, published by Vasconcelos in Porto through the Portuguese Press, is a critical and annotated edition of the original 1649 catalog. His work was fundamental because it recovered and disseminated a very rare document, allowing scholars of Portuguese and European music to access the inventory of the famous musical library of King John IV.
This edition did not simply transcribe the catalog: Vasconcelos added explanatory notes, historical references, and comments on the listed authors and works, making it an indispensable source for the history of music in Portugal. It was thanks to this publication that many researchers were able to learn about the size of the king's musical library, since a large part of the originals were lost in the 1755 earthquake.

Year 1887
5thEdition

Paris; P. Rouquette Éditeur; In-4º of XXII 755 (10) pages; Bound

A reference work for bibliophiles and scholars of 18th-century French illustrated editions. It is a critical and descriptive catalog that brings together information on hundreds of books adorned with engravings, highlighting rare editions, authors, illustrators, and engravers who marked the editorial production of the time. Henry Cohen, a renowned bibliography expert, organized the guide as a practical tool for collectors and antiquarians, offering detailed descriptions of the works, notes on the quality of the illustrations, data on print runs, and comments on the artistic and bibliographic value of each edition. The book quickly became an indispensable work for those dedicated to collecting illustrated books, as it systematized a field that was previously dispersed and little studied. Beyond its function as a catalog, it reflects the taste for and fascination with illustrated books in the 18th century, a period in which engraving established itself as an essential element of luxury publishing, combining text and image in a refined aesthetic. Today, it continues to be a fundamental source for researchers of book history and graphic art, serving as a starting point for identifying and evaluating illustrated works from that era. This fifth edition has been revised, corrected, and considerably expanded by Le Baron Roger Portalis. In short, it is a bibliographic and critical manual that consolidated the study of French illustrated books of the 18th century, becoming an essential reference for bibliophiles and historians of publishing. Copy with half-French binding signed by René Aussourd, in good general condition.

Year 1935

Lisbon; Seara Nova; In-4º of 2 volumes with 389(3) and 453(3) pages plus plates; Illustrated; Bound

This is one of the first major syntheses on the history of Portuguese cartography during the Age of Discoveries. A pioneering study that brings together documentation, critical analysis and biographies of the main Portuguese cartographers of the 15th and 16th centuries, such as Pedro Reinel, Jorge Reinel, Lopo Homem and Fernão Vaz Dourado, among others. The work examines the evolution of nautical charts and portolan charts, showing how Portuguese maps were fundamental to maritime expansion and to world geographical knowledge. Cortesão highlights not only the technical and scientific value of cartography, but also its political and cultural role, showing how maps served as instruments of power and territorial affirmation. This work marked the beginning of a line of research that Cortesão would deepen in later works, becoming an essential reference for scholars of the history of cartography and overseas expansion. It continues to be considered a landmark in Portuguese historiography, for the way it systematized and valued the contribution of national cartographers in constructing the image of the modern world. Profusely illustrated with reproductions of numerous maps.

"Illustrated with the portraits of the most illustrious patriots of that time and enlarged with magnificent paintings depicting the most remarkable historical facts described in the work composed and designed by the distinguished National Artists Joaquim Victorino Ribeiro and Columbano Bordallo Pinheiro . "
“(...) The work undertaken by the auctor, which among other excellent qualities possesses that of being modest, was a company that only firm will, unbelievable work and superior intelligence could carry out. Having studied neither the time of 1820 nor the preceding period in which the spirits prepared for the great liberal evolution, the auctor renders valuable national service in carrying out this work, and even more so by the broad plan which he followed and the method he adopted. Editors making an artistic edition, with an accentuated national stamp, provide another service of undeniable value and make the work a true patriotic monument (...). ”
This work is considered fundamental for the study of this important event in the history of Portugal, illustrated with numerous lithographs printed in extra-text representing Portuguese kings and other relief figures, composed by national artists such as João Marques da Silva Oliveira, Columbano Bordallo Pinheiro, Caetano Moreira, Joaquim Vitorino Ribeiro.

Diogo do Couto 
REF.33001
Year 1790

Lisbon; Office of the Royal Academy of Sciences; In-8th of IV(2)161(1) and 110 pages; Brocade

A rare work in which Couto criticizes the abuses and evils that afflicted the government of Portuguese India at the beginning of the 17th century. This edition has a numbering error on the preliminary pages numbered from 3 onwards due to a typographical error. António Caetano do Amaral, in the introduction to this first printed edition, reveals that the original manuscript had been acquired by the Academy. Diogo do Couto, driven by zeal for the public good, had composed the book entitled “Practical Soldier.” However, the original was stolen before it was perfected and reached this realm without the author's name. Years later, Couto himself reformed the work, almost recreating it. Amaral highlights the importance of continuing the search for more correct manuscripts to improve future editions and preserve the author's genuine composition.

The complete poetic works of Armindo Rodrigues, a prominent figure in the Portuguese neo-realist movement. His literary work is deeply connected to the struggle for social justice, resistance against the Salazar regime, and the appreciation of the human condition. He spent much of his childhood in the Alentejo region, which influenced his poetic sensibility and keen attention to the country's rural and social realities. His poetry is marked by clear and vigorous language, with a strong emotional charge and social critique. Armindo Rodrigues has been honored by several writers and intellectuals, including José Saramago, who organized the anthology *The Questioning Poet* in 1979, bringing together a significant portion of his work. José Cardoso Pires also acknowledged Armindo Rodrigues' support in the publication of his first book. Exhibitions about his life and work were held in Estremoz, at the Portuguese Society of Authors and the Museum of Neo-Realism, celebrating his contributions to Portuguese literature and democratic resistance. This is the complete collection from the special edition of 50 numbered copies.

Porto; Imprensa Constitucional; In-8º of 60 issues; Bound

A rare collection of all 60 issues of the Official Bulletin of the Civil Government of Porto from 1844. This publication constitutes a rich documentary source for the study of the political instability that marked the beginning of the 1840s in Portugal. Published almost daily, these bulletins follow in real time the developments of the Torres Novas Revolt and the Siege of Almeida, central episodes of the resistance to the Cabral government. Through dispatches, military communiqués, administrative reports, and official notes, the bulletins reveal the climate of tension in the country, troop movements, repressive strategies, and the speeches of local authorities. This collection offers a vivid portrait of government action during one of the most significant insurrections of the period, serving as direct testimony to the struggle between liberal sectors and the central government, and anticipating the conflicts that would culminate in the Maria da Fonte and Patuleia revolts. Each bulletin consists of a single sheet of paper of varying sizes and printed on different types of paper. Copies are bound in a single volume, with evidence of wood-eating on the binding.

“The knowledge of the author's personality is not indifferent to the judgment of the work, even when it is a cold analysis of facts and a serene and objective historical construction. Because if there is a scientific method that regulates both, the guiding thread, which directs and animates, always reflects the 'person' who uses it for the synthesis he aspires to. (...) Thus, Júlio de Castilho, who writes to him [the Author] saying: 'Your book is amazing with erudition. It seems incredible that a single man, not being a Benedictine of S. Mauro, a man of the world, living in society, and burdened with very heavy official duties, could at his age erect such a thoughtful monument to the administrative history of the peninsula (.. .)'. — taken from the Introduction by Torcato de Sousa Magalhães.

1stEdition

Coimbra; Coimbra Editora, limited; In-4º of 401 (5) pages; Hardcover

Doctoral thesis in Germanic Philology from the University of Coimbra. The book offers an in-depth analysis of the life and thought of Francisco Xavier de Oliveira, known as the Knight of Oliveira, a prominent figure of the Portuguese Enlightenment. The work combines rigorous historical research with critical reflection, addressing the political, religious, and philosophical context of the 18th century. Gonçalves Rodrigues highlights the role of the Knight of Oliveira as a defender of freedom of thought, a critic of the Inquisition, and a promoter of reformist ideas, bringing him closer to the Protestant spirit—not in the confessional sense, but as a symbol of intellectual resistance. In addition to tracing the author's biography, the book examines his works, correspondence, and influence on modern Portuguese thought. It is considered a pioneering and ambitious study, which rekindled interest in the figure of the Knight of Oliveira and generated heated debates, including a famous polemic with Aquilino Ribeiro.

Porto; Alexandre Coelho, Editor; In-4º of 12 issues; Illustrated; Paperback

A Portuguese cultural publication published in Porto between July 1936 and April 1941 in 12 issues (complete). Published quarterly, the magazine was directed by Aarão de Lacerda and edited by Alexandre Coelho, emerging as an innovative proposal in a national context marked by a scarcity of journals dedicated to interdisciplinary thought. Its purpose was ambitious: to promote dialogue between the major fields of knowledge—philosophy, science, and art—and to offer readers a platform for profound reflection and refined aesthetics. Aarão de Lacerda described the magazine as an attempt to explore "the different itineraries of souls" and "the life of plastic forms," ​​revealing his commitment to a sensitive and intellectual approach to culture. Throughout its years of publication, PRISMA benefited from the collaboration of important figures in Portuguese cultural life, such as Adolfo Casais Monteiro, Pedro Homem de Melo, Camilo Pessanha, Leonardo Coimbra, Sant'Anna Dionísio, and José Régio. The magazine's content included philosophical essays, scientific texts with a humanist focus, literary and artistic criticism, translations of foreign authors, as well as avant-garde poetry and prose. The thematic diversity and quality of the texts made it a benchmark in the publishing scene of the time. Copies are in generally good condition.

Lisbon; National Press; In-8th of 5 volumes; Brocade

Facsimile of this work originally published in 1860. The Dictionary of History of Portugal (Joel Serrão, ed., vol. V, Initiatives Editorials, Lisbon, 1979) tells us about Rebelo da Silva (1822-1871): «(...) As a historian, he also sought to take Herculaneum as a model, but preferred to study the so-called modern period. (...) [This History of Yours... is a] work that is undoubtedly worthy of the informative data it brings together, but whose content does not correspond to the title. In fact, Rebelo da Silva [certainly because death interrupted his work] remained at the end of the 16th century and only furtively, on one level or another, penetrated 17th-century material.

With the collaboration of Jaime Cortesão, Agostinho Fortes, Joaquim de Carvalho, F. Reis Santos, Manuel Maria Coelho, Lopes de Oliveira, Luz de Almeida e Bourbon and Meneses. From the warning: "From History it can be concluded — more than from any branch of human science — that two particular and distinct ways of being compete in it, and that they are: one that, due to its narrative nature, evokes and draws civilizations, facts, events , recomposing the restless scenario of each era; another that, when used by the historian, determines the causes that preceded these events, establishing the laws of subjective relationship that justify and govern the action and life of humanity. (...) These two ways of being combine, when history is perfect, into a single value, resulting in unity. And thus, the historical problem, as someone said, is like the resurrection of integral, intense and profound life (...)

1stEdition

Lisbon; Type of Commercial Yearbook; In-4th of 200(8) pages; Illustrated; Bound 

This work stands out for its graphic quality and the wealth of information about the economic and social life of the archipelago in the last years of the Monarchy. It constitutes an essential reference for the study of Portuguese colonization, and is also part of the history of the African country that achieved independence. It was published with the purpose of defending Portugal from accusations of labor exploitation in São Tomé, inserted in the context of rivalry between the European powers in African colonial expansion. Since around 1875, this dispute intensified, even leading to negotiations between England and Germany over the division of territories under Portuguese administration. The work includes 83 supplementary documents, including two geographical maps of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe, one of them in color. At the end of the volume, there are 12 statistical maps that present data on workers from Mozambique, information on the National Navigation Company, movement in the islands' ports, exported products, cocoa trade and imported goods in 1905. There are also graphs on the world production and consumption of cocoa between 1894 and 1908, in addition to a survey of agricultural properties in the region. The book is enriched by 69 photographs, including images of prominent figures linked to the archipelago, such as the Royal Prince D. Luís Filipe, who visited the islands in 1907. It also presents panoramic views of the cities and photographs of the main plantations, such as Boa Entrada, Água Izé, Porto Real and Gue Gue. Copy with editorial binding in good general condition.

ELÉMENS DE MUSIQUE THÉORIQUE AT PRATIQUE, Suivant Les Principes de M. Rameau

Jean Le Rond D´ Alembert 
REF.31942
Year 1766

Lyon; Chez Jean-Marie Bruyset; In-8th of XXXVI 235 (5) pages plus 10 prints; Bound

"Éclarcis, Développés et Simplifiés, Par M. D'Alembernt, de l'Académie Françoise."

Work illustrated with 10 musical stave prints. D'Alembert was exposed to musical theory in 1749, when he was called to revise a memoir submitted to the Academy by Jean-Philippe Rameau. This article, written in collaboration with Diderot, would later form the basis of Rameau's 1750 treatise Demonstration of the Principle of Harmony. D'Alembert wrote a review, praising the author's deductive character as an ideal scientific model. He saw in Rameau's musical theories a support for his own ideas, a fully systematic method with a strongly deductive synthetic structure. Two years later, in 1752, d'Alembert carried out a complete study of Rameau's works in their elements of theoretical and practical music, following the principles of M. Rameau. Emphasizing Rameau's main claim that music was a mathematical science and that it possessed a single principle from which all the elements and rules of musical practice could be deduced, d'Alembert contributed to popularizing the composer's work and publicizing his own theories. He claims to have "clarified, developed and simplified" Rameau's principles, arguing that the idea of a sound body alone was not sufficient to derive the totality of music. Copy with contemporary binding with slight signs of handling, clean core and maintaining the sound of the paper.

He was arrested on March 25 and in 1676, he was sentenced to life imprisonment after trial and confiscation of his property. It was in prison that he wrote these memoirs about diplomats, ministers, ambassadors and law in Europe. Wicquefort escaped from prison in 1679. He signed this work with the initials L.M.P.

REF.15281
Year 1883
1stEdition

Lisbon; Typographia of the Royal Academy of Sciences; In-4 of 807 (1) pages; Broached

Contains leaflets with trees from sides of several aristocratic families.
The work due to its extension surpassed the material and temporal possibility of the authors; besides genealogy includes history and Portuguese politics in the nineteenth century. After the death of Feo the work was continued by Sanches de Baena (1822-1909). Born in Vila do Conde, he emigrated to Brazil where he married in 1859, returned to Portugal and was made a viscount in 1869 by D. Luís I. The most focused part of this work is the history and genealogy of Portuguese ducal houses in the century XIX that gave the justification to the authors to write about all the other titular families their contemporaries in century XIX. The holders (marquises, counts, viscounts and barons) mentioned throughout this extensive work are in an index. The `main subject` - the Portuguese dukes - include the Duke of Victory, descendant of Arthur Wellesly, also Duke of Wellington. The other ducal houses mentioned are: Cadaval, Lafões, Terceira, Palmela, Saldanha, Loulé and Ávila and Bolama. INOCÊNCIO III, 339 and III, 204: João Carlos Feo Cardoso de Castello Branco e Torres, Fidalgo da Casa Real, Commander of the Order of Avis, retired Lieutenant-Colonel, corresponding partner of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Lisbon, etc. He was born on October 1, 1798, the son of Luiz da Mota Feo and his wife, D. Leocadia Thereza Possidonia de Lima and Mello Falcão Van-Zeller. He died in 1868. - Review of the Families of the Titles of Portugal, the pairs of the kingdom and the gentlemen who exercise in the Palace. Accompanied by the historical and genealogical description of the same families, etc. Lisbon, in typ. of the Franco-Portuguese typographic society, 1863. 8th gr. the impression by the death of the auctor, and by the fallacy of the first editors j. melchiades & c.ª, established in lisbon in Rua Aurea, was interrupted since pag.736, and comprised the families of the dukes of Lafões, Cadaval, Terceira, Palmella, and Saldanha. Only in the first volume of this work were the Dukes of Loulé and Avila and Bolama missing. Viscount de Sanches de Baena, one of the most conscientious genealogical investigators, proposed to continue the work of Feo, which the Royal Academy of Sciences accepted, deciding that the printing would be on his own account and out of his documents. The work, amplified or completed by sr. Viscount, it is probable that he is entitled with the title of Biographical and Genealogical Review of the Families of all the Dukes in Portugal, our contemporaries, etc. some collectors have the incomplete work of Feo, save, it seems, from the sale by weight of the printed paper, which belonged to him. There is a copy in the National Bibliotheca. In the forefinger reads the following title: Review of the Houses of Portugal, etc. - Cadaval, Lafões and Dukes. There was confusion in the way of describing the last printed work of Feo, by the indecision in which was the illustrious continuant and my friend, Mr. Viscount de Sanches de Baena, in the title with which he would publish it. The pages printed by the publishers Melchiades & C.ª, of which it was said, have nothing in common with those which the Royal Academy of Sciences had printed during the lifetime of Feo, and which arrived at pag. 737. From that time on it is the work of the said mr. Viscount and left the final under the title of Historical-Genealogical Memorials of the Portuguese Dukes of the XIX Century. Lisbon, by order and in the Typology of the Royal Academy of Sciences, 1883. 4º de 807 pag.
