LANDMANN, George.- Historical, military and picturesque observations on Portugal, illustrated by seventy-five coloured plates, including authentic plans of the sieges and battles fought in the Peninsula during the late war.- London: T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1818.- 2 vols.: il.; 37 cm.- E.
The author (1779-1854) was a lieutenant colonel in the British Army, with equal military rank in the Spanish Engineering Corps. The first volume aims to provide an overview of the history of Portugal, while the second seeks to convey a wide range of local information that may be useful, on the one hand, for military purposes, and on the other, to travelers and other readers. . The edition can be considered as one of the largest typographic companies, in its style and one of the most beautiful books in the foreign bibliography on Portugal, in the 19th century. The first volume (XIV, 607 p.) is illustrated with four hand-coloured watercolours, representing as many degrees of torture by the Inquisition, two numismatic engravings and 14 watercolour maps and plans of cities and troop movements. The second volume (XVI, 203 p.) includes another 55 beautiful aquatints from Portuguese localities, as well as a double engraving of Alcácer do Sal, not registered in the index, but referred to by Tooley as nº 25. All engravings are hand-coloured and of great aesthetic effect, some being doubles. In general, they are all very clean, fresh and neatly folded. A few pages of text with very slight moisture stains not affecting the engravings. Contemporary green morocco half-bindings with covers covered with a canvas similar to the spine and new endpapers. The copies rarely appear on the market, especially when complete like this one. Provenance: lot 353, from Silva's/Pedro de Azevedo auction, April 1993; lot 432 of the Silva’s/Pedro de Azevedo auction, March 2000, (same copy).

First edition, published without the author's name, of the English translation of the work of the famous Genoese historian Conestaggio, by algyns wrongly attributed to D. João da Silva, Count of Portalegre. Initially considered pro-Spanish, this did not prevent it from being banned in the court of Filipe I (of Portugal). The work, whose original edition was published in Genoa in 1585, was quickly translated into German, French, Latin, Castilian and English, with several editions until the mid-17th century, has now been rehabilitated and is considered an objective and impartial account of events. that led to the loss of independence from Portugal in 1580 (see article published by Prof. Giacinto Manuppela, in the Boletim Internacional de Bibliografia Luso-Brasileira, Lisbon, FCG, 1960, vol.

Belchior Faria, 31 years after his death, from the original manuscript bequeathed by the author to Casa Pia dos Penitentes. Copy with strong browning and some handling but complete and solid of the very rare first edition in Dutch, illustrated with seven copperplate prints and an engraved frontispiece. All engravings are correctly placed, as indicated in the upper right corner. The text is almost entirely printed in Gothic characters and the chapters referring to Saint Francis Xavier, which were not well accepted in the Netherlands, a country at the time predominantly Calvinist, were removed. The scholar bibliographer Fr. Francisco Leite de Faria (The many editions of «Peregrinação» by Fernão Mendes Pinto, Lisbon, 1992, p. 91) was only able to locate one copy in Portugal (in the Jorge de Brito Collection), six in the Netherlands, one in Germany and one in the United States of America. Circular speaking ex-libris with the unidentified initials BL. Contemporary binding, fully made of rigid parchment, with the original white lined endpapers. Leite de Faria, 54-1.

Work dedicated to D. João III, by a shod hermit of the Order of Saint Augustine (1507-1572), born in São Miguel de Urró (Penafiel), who became bishop of Coimbra (1545-1572). In his text, Fr. João Soares intends to justify, through the interpretation of the Scriptures, the anti-Jewish Iberian discourse prevalent at the time and, at the same time, to legitimize the inquisitorial persecutions against the enemies of the faith. The complex title page (in black and red), made up of four xilographic engravings (an initial L and two decorative stripes), is very significant for the author’s purposes: the lower engraving represents a Christian friar and the four types of infidels: heretics, Gentiles, Jews and Moors. Edition entirely composed in Gothic characters, presenting all the text pages, in two columns, xilographic framed, consisting of small loose stripes. Copy slightly handled, but clean. Two crossed-out (old) ownership marks between the lines of the title; inscription with the place and date in the lower margin. At the end of the text (verso of sheet R4), an extensive colophon, stating the print completion on the 20th of January 1543. On the verso of the last page, the great mark of the printer Luís Rodrigues. Recent binding, full parchment, with full gilt on the covers and spine and the coat of arms of Portugal gold engraved at the centre of both covers. Anselmo, 1037. Palau, 315315.

William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle (1592-1676), politician and soldier, born in Yorkshire (United Kingdom), was noted as a master of horsemanship and author of treatises on equestrian art. This is the second edition, with better graphic quality, as it was printed on superior quality paper.

Engraving 16 with central tear restored, without lack of support; stain on the outer margin of last seven leaves.

VASCONCELOS, Pe. Simão de, S.J.- CHRONICA | DA | COMPANHIA | DE | JESV | DO ESTADO DO BRASIL: | DO QVE OBRARÃO SEVS FILHOS | NESTA PARTE DO NOVO MVNDO | TOMO PRIMEIRO | DA ENTRADA DA | COMPANHIA DE JESV | NAS PARTES DO BRASIL | & | DOS FVNDAMENTOS QVE NELLAS | Lançârão, & continuàrão seus Religiosos em quanto alli trabalhou o Padre Manoel | da Nobrega...- Lisboa: Na Officina de Henrique Valente de Oliueira, 1663.- [12], 178, [185 a 188], 528, [12] p.: 1 frontispício gravado; 33 cm.- E.
First edition of one of the most beautiful productions of Portuguese presses from the 1600s and a fundamental work for the history of Brazil (first and only published volume). In his introduction, Father Simão de Vasconcelos (1597-1671) proposes the theory that the Earthly Paradise would be located in Portuguese America. Although the licenses had been granted, between May 18, 1661 and November 7, 1662 (?), the Father Visitador considered that such an assertion was contrary to the dogmas of the Catholic faith and demanded that this passage be deleted. Thus, in all known copies the pagination jumps from p. 178 to 185. At the end, between pages 481 and 528 it includes the Latin poem "De Beata Virgine Dei Matre Maria", by Father José de Anchieta who composed it «...quando esteve em refens entre Indios barbaros, com a ajuda da Virgem, escrevendo na praia em lugar de papel, que alli não tinha, nem tinta». The engraved frontispiece, which is missing in many examples, was recovered and mounted on a stub, with reinforcement of the inner margin, and has some minor restorations. Several leaves with small restorations on the lower outer corner. Folio N4 (p. 103/104) with stain and tear poorly restored, but not lacking in support. Otherwise a clean and solid copy, slightly cropped, covered in 20th century full sheepskin binding with some wear, weak joints and a damaged turn in at the top of the spine. Provenance: lot 842 at Silva’s/Pedro de Azevedo auction, October 1999 (same copy). Borba de Moraes, p. 888. Sabin, 98651. Rodrigues, 2457. Inocêncio, VII, p. 286. Samodãoes, 3443. Arouca, V 51.
