COMEMORAÇÕES DO V CENTENÁRIO DA MORTE DO INFANTE D. HENRIQUE

REF.21179

Year 1961/63

Lisbon; Graphic Workshops of Neogravura, Lda .; In-4th of 4 volumes; Brooch

“The commemorations of the 5th Centenary of the Death of Infante D. Henrique were exceptionally important, exceeding all forecasts and constituting, without a doubt, a singular event in the fastidiousness of national life. The report, as if it were a presence through the ages of most commemorative ceremonies, held in all quarters of the Portuguese Land, both in the Metropolis and overseas, and in many foreign countries, would be lost in the dispersion and transience of the journalistic news, collecting to the archives, if a work like the one that at this moment does not appear in the light of publicity was edited. Without it, anyone wishing, in the future, to assess the magnitude and significance of the aforementioned celebrations would be obliged to make an exhaustive effort, of uncertain success, in libraries and archives, as, indeed, the experience of analogous events demonstrates. Therefore, the Executive Committee of the Henriquin Commemorations decided to organize this summary history of the events that took place during the centenary year, certain that, thus, future historians or simply curious people will see their work very easily (...)

Pedro Dias

REF.19882

Year 1999

Lisbon; Circle of Readers; In-4 of 2 volumes with 551 (1) and 434 pages; Illustrated; Broached

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.

2ndEdition

Lisbon; Sá da Costa Bookstore; In-4 of 11 volumes; broached

“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

Lisbon; Typographia da Academia; In-8º of 21 volumes; Bound/Paperback

It was an attempt to fill a documentary gap, since the minutes of the Academy's sessions had not been published since 1851. Among its prominent members was Teófilo Braga, a central figure in Portuguese cultural life at the time. The publication continued under different formats and names throughout the 20th century, remaining an important repository of Brazilian scientific and cultural production. A work with 20 volumes bound in 18 volumes and three (XIX and XX first and second parts) still in paperback. Half-French binding with occasional traces of wood-boring on the covers, core in good condition.
