José Anastácio de Figueiredo (1766-1805), canon of the Collegiate Church of Our Lady of the Oliveira of Guimarães and corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Sciences. Second edition amended and added to "copious additions". The third volume ends, as in most cases, on p. 504 of the index, as explained by Inocêncio (IV, p. 233) "when printing reached this point, the author was forced to give up the task, in which he had committed himself with all his small possessions, and only after a long time did he decide to have the last complementary sheets of the index printed; the print run of these sheets was, however, so limited that it was only enough to complete a small number of copies, leaving almost the entire edition without them". The collation of the three volumes is as follows: 1 - [4], X, [1, 1 br.], 522 p.; II - [4], 396 p.: 1 unfolded engraving; III - 504 p. In volume I, p. 17 to 24 are bound after preliminary page VIII. Volume II includes a fold-out plate with a lapidary inscription. Very clean copy, with carmine edges. Full sheepskin bindings, recent, with ornamental borders on the covers, patina and gold tooling decoration on the spines, according to the taste of the period.

CAMÕES, Luís de.- RIMAS | DE LVIS DE | CAMÕES. | ACRESCENTADAS NESTA | Terceyra impressão. | Dirigidas a Inclyta Vniuersidade | de Coimbra. | [gravura xilográfica com a esfera armilar] | Impressas com licença da Sancta Inquisição.- Em Lisboa: Por Pedro Crasbeeck. A custa de Domingos Fernandez mercador de libros. Com Priuilegio. Anno 1607.- [8], 102 [aliás 202], [5] f.; 18 cm.- E.
One of the three known variants of the third edition of the Rimes and, probably, the first to come off the press by Pedro Craesbeeck. The present one, with an armillary sphere in the engraving of the title page, corresponds approximately to the description of the copy by José do Canto (Camoneana, 14), but presents the typographical error SENETO I. on page 1 (f. A1), still to be corrected. On the other hand, the numbering of the last leaf (202) was corrected, since there are copies with errors in the foliation (102 by 202). The other two variants feature the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal in the title page engraving. In fact, the three variants also show significant compositional differences that are not constant from specimen to specimen. Therefore, serious bibliographic problems arise, as can be seen from the detailed descriptions of Tito de Noronha (Anuário da Sociedade Nacional Camoneana), José do Canto (14) and Brito Aranha (Inocêncio, 11) which also do not coincide. Copy slightly cropped and with slight browning, preserving the rare last blank sheet (c8) that completes the section c. Remote provenance: Ex-libris Marchionis Salsiae (Francesco Maria Berio 1765-1820, Marchese di Salza); a second ex-libris, on the back cover, with the motto: Comme Je Fus (William Ward, viscount Dudley, 1750-1823). The copy also has a small handwritten note in pencil by London bookseller Bernard Quarith, with the indication Perfect. A good contemporary binding, fully made of rigid parchment, with the original endpapers on plain paper. Inocêncio, XIV, p. 40/43. Palha, 1619. Arouca, C 66 (describes only the second variant).

Volume consisting of four parts, corresponding respectively to “Os Lusíadas” and to the three parts of “Rimas”.

Illustrated edition with an allegorical frontispiece (integrated in the first booklet) and 11 copperplate engravings, printed separately, correctly placed, according to the respective pagination. Of these, seven were imported from the Dutch edition of 1652 and four were expressly engraved for the present edition. The 1652 edition also does not include the chapters referring to Saint Francis Xavier, which were not well accepted in the Netherlands, at the time predominantly Calvinist. Paging error from p. 73 (wrongly 75) to the end. Minor marginal restorations on the first six leaves and on leaves Z2, Aa2 and Zz1. Otherwise a slightly cropped but very clean copy.

L'ÉVEQUE, Henri.- Costume of Portugal.- [London: Colnaghi and Edmund Lloyd, 1812-1814].- [1, 52] f.: [50] gravuras color.; 35 cm.- E.
Henri l’Éveque (1769-1832), Swiss traveller, painter, watercolourist and engraver, born in Geneva, was in Portugal several times, having graphically recorded, among other subjects, numerous episodes of the French Invasions. His "Costume of Portugal" is considered the most beautiful book of Portuguese usages published during the 19th century and an important source for the iconography of Portuguese costume of his time. Without the title page, which was never printed, the edition consists of a page with the title, followed by another with the dedication printed to the councilor, minister and secretary of state António de Araújo de Azevedo, first Count of Barca (1754-1817) and a third sheet with the index of the engravings in Portuguese. Next, 50 numbered aquatints, coloured by hand, interspersed with 52 sheets of bilingual texts, in English and French, describing the respective images. Copy with stain on the edge, progressively affecting the outer margins of the last 11 engravings and respective text sheets (maximum 140x60 mm). The copy has a crowned oval stamp (on the first page) and a circular book stamp, also crowned, gold engraved, at the foot of the spine, ownership marks that, in the pencil inscription on the free endpaper, are attributed to Augustus Frederick (1773-1843), Duke of Sussex, sixth male child (ninth son) of King George III of the United Kingdom (attribution that could not be confirmed). The remaining plates are very clean and well preserved. Full brown morocco binding, with peripheral ornamental borders with three simple fillets and florets in the corners of the covers, closed panels on the smooth spine and rolls on the squares (protective case). Duarte de Sousa, 422.
