A few old ink manuscript annotations. (6), 44 (i.e., 43) ll. 6, A-I4, K3, L4. There is no leaf 39, which would have been K3; leaf 40 is therefor the third leaf in quire K. However, the text follows, and catchwords match. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this very rare compendium of the rules and privileges of the knights of the Order of Christ, an order of chivalry which played a pivotal role in the early Portuguese discoveries and expansion. Prince Henry the Navigator was master of the order; its wealth financed many of the early voyages. We have only handled this work once before; that was the only copy we have previously seen on the market since beginning to take note of such matters in 1969.Frey Damião das Neves, Prior of the Order's seat at Thomar, edited this volume. Little else is known about him. Beginning on leaf 32 recto and continuing to the end are a series of Papal Bulls relating to the Order.*** Arouca N48.

2 issues. Tall folios (29.8 x 16 cm. and 29.8 x 19.1 cm.), original illustrated cardboard portfolios with loosely inserted leaves (some wear to portfolios, almost inevitable due to the manner of construction, the second being held in place by two large original staples). In good condition overall. Internally very good. 88; [1 l.], 12, (84) pp. Replete with concrete poems and images. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION, A COMPLETE RUN, rare.

OLIVEIRA, Francisco Xavier de, Cavaleiro de Oliveira.
8°, contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt (some wear at extremities, some small repairs to spine and rear cover). Title-page printed in red & black. Woodcut initials and tailpiece. Scattered minor soiling and light stains. Oveall in very good condition. Small black on white ticket with serrated edges of Livraria Nova Eclectica tipped on to upper outer corner of front pastedown endleaf. (7 ll.), 397, (1) pp., (8 ll.). *** FIRST EDITION; the proposed second and third volumes were never published. The author comments in the Prologue that few travel accounts describing Europe had been published in Portuguese; accounts of travels to India or the Holy Land usually dealt only briefly with Europe. "Se com tudo mo [sic] negas, vingate em não comprar os meus Livros, e empregate em fazer outros melhores," he concludes rather grumpily (f. 6v). Oliveira's wide-ranging descriptions cover Dutch, German, English, Austrian, Prussian, French and Spanish cities, people, history and customs; he shows a particular interest in different sects and religions, e.g., Hussites, Lutherans and Jews, and also mentions art and architecture, e.g., Meissen porcelain and Dutch churches.Oliveira (1702-1783), a native of Lisbon, was a knight of the Ordem de Cristo and served with some distinction as secretary to the Conde de Tarouca, then Minister Plenipotentiary at Vienna. For reasons that have never been clear, Oliveira left this position in 1740 and went to Holland, where he began writing in order to support himself. In 1744, having moved to England, he converted to the Anglican faith, renounced his membership in the Ordem de Cristo, and supported himself with the publication Amusement périodique. Following the great Lisbon earthquake of 1755, Oliveira addressed a pamphlet to D. José I (Discours pathétique au sujet des calamités présentes arrivées en Portugal ., London, 1756) blaming the catastrophe on the superstition and idolatry prevalent in Portugal and urging his compatriots to convert to Protestantism. Oliveira was then tried by the Inquisition and burnt in effigy. He eventually died in Hackney. Oliveira also wrote the Cartas familiares (Amsterdam 1741) and (according to Almeida Garrett) left a translation of Gil Vicente's D. Duardos e Flerida that became the standard translation.The printer, lacking a tilde, has substituted a comma throughout: e.g., nao' for não.*** Gonçalves Rodrigues, O Protestante lusitano: estudo biografico e critico sobre o Cavaleiro de Oliveira 2: calling for only 5 preliminary ll. and locating a copy at the Biblioteca Nacional, Lisbon.

53 numbers in 1 volume. Folio (28.5 x 20 cm.), later dark blue buckram, smooth spine with red lettering piece, gilt letters and numbers. Overall in very good condition. Armorial Bookplate of Jorge Telles Durtra Machado. 16 pp. per issue (numbers 3 and 4 have 20 pp.), illustrated. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION, a COMPLETE RUN. In its choice of collaborators, this weekly magazine favored those not associated with the Estado Novo, the majority of whom had ties to MUD and were opposed to the Salazar government. There were, as would be expected, problems with the official censorship. In issue number 6, the censors obliged the magazine to publish a "Declaração" regarding two articles critical of the status quo by Antóno Ramos de Almeida, which had appeared in issue number 4. In the 52nd issue, May 1947, the suspension of the review was announced. After almost a year, the 53rd issue appeared, perhaps symbolically, on May 1, 1948, with the aid of Editorial Cosmos, directed by Manuel Rodrigues de Oliveira. Emil Anderson left the editorial board after issue number 30. Adolfo Casais Monteiro, who had been something of the de-facto editor, and whose name on the masthead irritated the authorities, withdrew from the editorial board for the final issue, but continued as a contributor. Despite this, there were then orders to suspend publication, and appeals were to no avail.Mundo literário was not doctrinaire, and was without commitment to any particular literary movement. In its pages were debated the aesthetics of neo-realism and the second wave of modernism of Presença. It attempted to expose Portuguese readers to the work of Kafka (hitherto totally unknown), Jean-Paul Sartre, Henri Michaux, José Rodrigues Miguéis, Aleixo Ribeiro, Graciliano Ramos, José Lins do Rego, Soeiro Pereira Gomes, Alves Redol, Manuel da Fonseca, and Carlos de Oliveira. In Portugal at the time, it also was unusual for introducing American authors such as Walt Whitman, Hemingway, John dos Passos, and Langston Hughes, which engendered suspicion on the part of the censors. An article by Upton Sinclair on Mark Twain appeared in issues 27 and 28. Lusophone African authors were also recognized. Number 46 was partly dedicated to the centenary of Castro Alves. There was an important polemical sequence of literary criticism between José Régio and Joel Serrão, and another between Serrão and João Gaspar Simões. After the 27th issue, literary criticism was assumed by Adolfo Casais Monteiro, António Pedro, António Ramos de Almeida, António Salgado Júnior, Armando Ventura Ferreira, Joel Serrão, Jorge de Sena and Mário Sacramento. Musical criticism was by Francine Benoit, Humberto d'Avila, and José Blanc de Portugal. Film critics were Aldolfo Casais Monteiro, Manuel de Azevedo, and Rui Grácio. Theater critics were António Pedro, Luiz Francisco Rebello, and Manuela Porto. New currents in the fine arts, as exemplified by Picasso and Portinari, were examined. The review published illustrations critical of the bourgeoisie by Bernardo Marques (issue 4), George Grosz (issue 25), Talitsky on the Holocaust and Nazi concentration camps (issue 24), and a self portrait by Dórdio Gomes (issue 6). There were also artistic contributions by Júlio (issue 31) and Júlio Pomar (issue 35). Beginning with the 5th issue, António Pedro wrote a series titled "História Breve da Pintura". The final issue denounced the non-existence of a Museum of Modern Art in Portugal.Other important texts which appeared in the pages of this review are too numerous to mention here in their entirety. Among the most noteworthy are Adolfo Casais Monteiro, "A Crítica, a História e o Homem" (issue 1), "Valores Humanos e Valores Estéticos" (issue 6), "Guernica" (issue 10); 2 poems by Alexandre O'Neill, "A Bilha" and "Acórdeão" (issue 31); António José Saraiva, "O Pássaro Azul" (criticism of João Gaspar Simões, issue 53); António Sérgio, "A propósito de uma Discussão entre Antero de Quental e Oliveira Martins" (issue 37); Augusto Abeleira, "Sinceridade e Falta de Convicções na Obra de Fernando Pessoa" (issue 51); Jorge de Sena's presentation of a semi-unpublished poem by Cesário Verde, "Loira" (issue 29); Diogo de Macedo, "Pousão e Colombano" (issue 3); 2 poems by Eugénio de Andrade (issue 31), and 2 more poems by the same author (issue 53); and Gilberto Freyre, "Jorge de Lima e o Movimento do Nordeste" (issue 2). There were also texts by Branquinho da Fonseca (issues 16, 17, and 30), Cabral do Nascimento (issues 27 and 40), Fernando Namora (issue 19), Fernando Pessoa (issue 24), Francisco José Tenreiro (issue 36), Jacinto do Prado Coelho (issue 52), Romulo de Carvalho (issues 33 and 49) and Mário de Andrade (issues 13 and 18), as well as 3 poems by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, and others by Pedro de Silveira, Tomás Kim, and Vinicius de Moraes.*** Pires, Dicionário das revistas literárias portuguesas do século XX (1986) pp. 211-2; Dicionário da imprensa periódica literária portuguesa do século XX, II, i, 313-20 (1999).

Francisco [de Paula] de Portugal [e Castro] (1679-1749), was the natural son of the 7.º Conde de Vimioso. When his father died without legitimate issue, D. Pedro II, not wanting this illustrious house to become extinguished, legitimized him, making him the 8.º Conde de Vimioso, with rights of "parente" to the royal house. A man of considerable wealth, talent and literary accomplishment, he was created Marquês de Valença, with rights of "parente" confirmed by D. João V in 1716. D. Francisco was Donatário da Capitania de Machico on the Island of Madeira, knight commander of the Ordens de Cristo and Santiago, governor of the fort of Alcantara, a member of the King's Council, and Mordomo-mor to the Queen D. Maria Ana de Austria. He played an important role in the Academia Real de História. D. José Miguel João de Portugal, 9.º Conde de Vimioso and 3.º Marquês de Valença (1706-1775), was also a member of the King's Council and active in the Real Academia de História, a many times published author.*** Innocêncio III, 29.

4°, disbound. Woodcut vignette on title page. Woodcut headpieces, initials, and tailpieces. Some minor soiling to title page. Overall in good to very good condition. (7 ll.), 24 pp., (1 l.). *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Includes poems honoring D. Maria Theresa of Austria (1717-1780), the focal point of the War of the Austrian Succession: a sonnet inspired by a portrait of D. Maria Theresa, a romance, and poems supposedly written by Europa, Africa, Asia, and America.The War of the Austrian Succession began in 1740 with the death of Emperor Charles VI, who left no male heirs but designated his daughter Maria Theresa to succeed him. Maria Theresa of Austria Queen of Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia, Archduchess of Austria and Duchess of Parma, was a niece of Maria Anna of Austria, the wife of D. João V of Portugal. The War of the Austrian Succession included several localized conflicts which began in 1738: the War of Jenkins' Ear, King George's War in North America, and two Silesian wars. It finally ended in 1748 with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, which mostly returned territories to the status quo ante.Frei António de São Jerónimo Justiniano was born in Lisbon in 1675, professed in the convent of Xabregas in 1697, and was choirmaster there for 6 years. He was a disciple of António Marques Lesbia in contrapunto. Later he was chaplain in the Igreja do Loreto in Lisbon.*** Innocêncio XXII, 354: listing the title without collation and, erroneously, with the date 1713 rather than 1743; the author's other works date from 1735 to 1749.

4°, disbound. Three small punctures, without loss of text. Minor soiling on first leaf. Overall in good condition. (4 ll.) *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. The sonnet and three décimas are signed in print by a woman, Thomazia Caetana de Aquino [pseud. for António de São Jerónimo Justiniano]. The 14-stanza gloza by Dr. Luiz de Moura Coutinho is on the sonnet purportedly by Aquino that begins, "Com fatal ouzadia, horror tyrano / Te mostraste hoje, o Parca, rigoroza." The sonnet seems to have been well known: it is also glossed in other works published in 1736 on the death of the Infanta, such as Luctuosos ays do pranto mais enternecido na sentida morte da Serenissima Senhora D. Francisca Infanta de Portugal, where it is described as "o celebrado Soneto." It also appears in an collection of poems, Sentimentos metricos, ou collecçam de varias vozes, na mágoa pela morte da Serenissima Senhora D. Francisca, as the twenty-third piece in the first volume.The Infanta Francisca Josefa (1699-1736) was the last of the eight children of D. Pedro II of Portugal by his second wife, Marie Sophie of Neuburg. Born in 1699, she never married, and died at age 37.*** Innocêncio VII, 255: listing it with other works on the same topic bound into a single volume.

Folio (33.1 x 23.5 cm.), publisher's gilt-stamped tan cloth. Profusely and very nicely illustrated, some illustrations in color. As new. xi, 177, (1) pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Exhibited December 2002-February 2003, these 130 books, manuscripts, and works on paper from the collections of Grolier Club members encompass the fields of Americana, history, travel, literature, association copies, fine printing, bindings, illustration, photography, bibliography, music, science, medicine, children?s literature, and the fine arts. These wonderful objects, notable for their beauty, provenance, or significance, include the corrected proofs of Oscar Wilde?s The Ballad of Reading Gaol; the first printing of the Hippocratic Oath; an early map of New York drawn by Jay Gould; a diary kept by George Washington; manuscripts and letters by John Jay, Charles Dickens, Emily Dickinson, and Giacomo Puccini; a Tiffany binding; artists? books; and prints and drawings by Dürer, Piranesi, Redon, Matisse, Ernest H. Shepard, Al Capp, and Edward Gorey. The items-all illustrated-were chosen not so much for their splendor as for the stories their owners tell about them: how they were acquired, who or what influenced the acquisition, how they fit into an overall collecting scheme. A thoughtful introduction by curators T. Peter Kraus and Eric Holzenberg comments on the nature and history of book collecting and its role in American intellectual and cultural history. Splendidly designed by Jerry Kelly, and nicely printed by Martino Mardersteig at the Stamperia Valdonega.***

The first collection includes (as the twenty-third item) a sonnet purportedly by a woman, Thomasia Caetana de Aquino [pseud.; i.e., António de São Jerónimo Justiniano], that begins, "Com fatal ouzadia, horror tyrano / Te mostraste hoje, o Parca, rigoroza." The sonnet seems to have been well known: it is also glossed in other works published in 1736 on the death of the Infanta, such as A morte da Serenissima Senhora D. Francisca Infante de Portugal ponderando as circunstancias do dia, em que faleceo, e se sepultou, and Luctuosos ays do pranto mais enternecido na sentida morte da Serenissima Senhora D.

Carlota Joaquina, occasioned by the birth of the first child of D. João, heir to the throne of Portugal, and D. Carlota Joaquina. Maria Teresa, Princess of Beira (Maria Teresa Francisca de Assis Antónia Carlota Joana Josefa Xavier de Paula Micaela Rafaela Isabel Gonzaga) was born April 29, 1793, at the Ajuda palace. She was the first child of D. João, who was at the time unofficially ruling as prince regent for his mother D. Maria I, who had been declared incompetent the previous year. D. Maria Teresa was heir to heir to the throne (with the title Princess of Beira) until 1795, when D. João and Carlota Joaquina had their first son, D. Francisco António.In her political sympathies D. Maria Teresa sided with her mother. She allied herself with her brother D. Miguel (b. 1802) in his attempt to win the throne of Portugal (1826-1834). She also sided with her brother-in-law D. Carlos as he tried to wrest the crown from D. Isabella, daughter of D. Carlos's recently deceased brother Ferdinand VII of Spain. Her participation in the First Carlist War (1833-1839) led to her being excluded from the succession to the Spanish throne. She married D. Carlos (her sister's widower) in 1838; the couple left Spain soon after, when D. Carlos's attempt to become king failed. D. Maria Teresa died in Trieste, in 1874.João Dias Talaia Souto-Maior (d. 1795) was a member of the Academia dos Obsequiozos, which was based in his home and under the protection of D. Pedro III. Innocêncio reports that Talaia Souto-Maior was also an extremely skilled bullfighter (!) who published a collection of poetry (Rimas, 1790) and edited the anthology Sessões litterarias dos alumnos da Academia dos Obsequiosos, do logar de Sacavem, 1790-1791 (3 volumes). This is presumably one of the works Innocêncio uncharacteristically failed to catalogue: "varias poesias, e outras miudezas avulsamente impressas, de que me pareceu escusado fazer aqui menção especial."*** On the author, see Innocêncio III, 362; VII, 257; X, 238 (this work is not listed).

He arrived in 1750, serving as Viceroy for the next four years. His reception in Goa is described. There is mention of the King of Canara. D. Luís Bernardo de Távora, 4.º Marqês de Távora and 7.º Conde de São João da Pesqueira (1723-1759) was one of the thirteen people gruesomely executed in Lisbon on 13 January 1759, convicted of attempting to kill the King Joseph I of Portugal. Some historians interpret the incident as an attempt by prime minister Sebastião de Melo (later Conde de Oeiras and still later Marquis of Pombal) to curb the growing powers of the old aristocratic families. This may partly account for the rarity of the present work, despite the fact that there were two different editions, and two issues of one of these editions. Almost all mid-eighteenth-century Portuguese newsletters are rare, but this one seems more so than most. Surely the future Marquês de Pombal would not have wanted any positive news about his enemies remaining in circulation. However, there may be another reason. The other issue of this item printed by Manuel Rodrigues states on the title page that it was offered to the Marquesa de Tavora, D. Leonor, by one Manoel da Conceição. He was a bookseller who edited and wrote a number of similar works. In the aftermath of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755, his bookshop was completely destroyed by fire, and most of the books were lost. *** Barbosa Machado IV, 20 (citing the present issue).

In the June 1753, at age 19, the heiress to the Portuguese throne fell suddenly ill of a fever; her near-escape from death was cause for rejoicing among Portuguese and made Maria's own religious inclination even stronger. D. José I (r. 1750-1777) had four surviving children, all daughters. On the day his eldest child was born, D. João V named Maria Francisca Isabel Josefa Antónia Gertrudes Rita Joana de Bragança (1734-1816) Princess of Beira (i.e., heir to the heir of the Portuguese throne). When D. José took the throne in 1750, Maria became Princess of Brazil and Duchess of Braganza, indicating that she was now heir apparent to the thone. Her illness in 1753 was therefore a matter of national importance.In 1760 Maria married her father's brother D. Pedro. She succeeded to the throne in 1777 as Maria I, Portugal's first queen regnant, also known as Maria the Pious or Maria the Mad.Joam Chrysostomo de Faria Cordeiro de Vasconcellos de Sá was born in Lisbon in 1732 and died there in 1803.
