One of the most sought after works by the author, a pioneer in the field of archeology in Portugal. It includes numerous illustrations depicting epigraphic inscriptions. Since the pagination is a bit confusing, here's the exact collation of the copy: first section (from the title page) with four folios (signature +); second section (signature A) with eight folios (begins with the dedication of Diogo Mendes de Vasconcelos to Filipe II); third section with eight folios (signature B), in which the text of the work begins (folio B6 v.), curiously on the left page (Fol. 1 to Fol. 259, with a blank verso); 15 sections of 8 folios follow: signatures C to R (blank verso of R8); 4 sections with two folios signed +, ++, +++ and ++++ (blank verso of ++++2); three sections (signatures A, B and C) of eight folios, paginated from 1 to 46 (actually 45, due to an error on the last numbered page), errata (C7 v.) and two more blank pages; finally, the section that integrates the index (signature §) and consists of 9 folios with the last page blank. Exceptionally clean copy with good margins. Ex-libris of António Cupertino de Miranda. Binding from the 19th century, in full painted sheepskin, with a smooth spine, gold decorated.
