MANUSCRITO.- COIMBRA, Universidade de.- Relação geral do estado da Universidade de Coimbra...- Século XVIII (1777).- 312 p.; 33 cm.- E. Carefully handwritten manuscript, with the following title page: "Relação geral do estado da Universidade de Coimbra, desde o principio da Nova Reforma, até o Mez de Setembro de 1777, para ser presente à Rainha Nossa Senhora, pelo seu Ministro, e Secretario de Estado da Repartição dos Negocios do R[ei]no. o Illmo. e Exmo. Senhor Visconde de Villa Nova de Cerveira dada pelo Bispo de Zenopole Coadjutor, e futuro successor do Bispado de Coimbra e actual Reformador, e Reytor da mesma Universidade". The document is part of the extension of the Pombaline reform of the University of Coimbra, already in the reign of Queen D. Maria I of Portugal, whose reformer was its dean, D. Francisco de Lemos de Faria Pereira Coutinho (1735-1822), a native of Marapicu ( Rio de Janeiro), then titular bishop of Zenópolis and future bishop of Coimbra (1779-1822). Fully red shagreen contemporary binding, a little worn, but recoverable, with traces of wormholes on the spine; multiple gold ornamental borders on the covers, florets on the corners of the central reserve and panels gold closed on the spine; leaves with gauffered and gilt edges; keeps the original marbled paper endpapers. The sumptuousness of the binding, combined with the care of the calligrapher, could indicate that the volume was intended for a high-ranking personality of the court, the Church or the University itself.
