[ORDENAÇÕES MANUELINAS] O PRIMEIRO [ao quinto] LI | uro das ordenações.- Lisboa: por Manoel Joam, 1565.- 5 livros em 1 vol.; 28 cm.- E.
An important 16th-century Portuguese bibliographic species still shrouded in some uncertainty regarding the different prints and variants, the printer and place or places of printing. In terms of content, the “Manoeline Ordinances”, which were first printed in Lisbon by Valentim Fernandes (1512-1513), replaced the so-called “Afonsine Ordinances”. Its second printing is also from Lisbon, by João Pedro Bonhomini, 1514. In 1521 a new compilation was carried out, which resulted in the printing of Juan Cromberger, a printer of German origin, settled in Seville, followed by several reprints (four?) individualized from each (or some?) of the five books, until 1539. Finally, in 1565, Manuel João's edition was published. The “Manoeline Ordinances” were only replaced in 1603 by the Philippine Ordinances, since before this date no code was enacted to revoke them. The collation of each of the books is as follows. Book one: [3], xcvj f.; Second book: [2], lxix, [1] f.; Third book: [3], xcvi; Fourth book: [3], LXVI f.; Fifth book: [4], xcviij f. Titled copies were only printed in the first and third books. At the end of the last book, the signature of the licensee Mateus Esteves, from Desembargo do Paço. Complete copy, but with some imperfections, namely: first book cover very cropped and with restoration in the lower outer corner; the first three pages of the first book may have been added from another copy; xcv sheet (m6) of the first book, shorter, from another copy; last two sheets with strong and extensive restorations (margins reconstructed) affecting the text on the last sheet; slight browning and occasional marginal stains; numerous marginal annotations of the time. Recent binding, full parchment, with handwritten title on the spine, in the old-fashioned way. National Library (16th century), 745. Library of King D. Manuel II of Portugal, 421.

Work published without the name of the author (according to the bibliography), Friar Minor of the Province of Piedade. Barbosa Machado considers it “the first sum of Moral that came out in vulgar language in this Kingdom”. The “Compendio”, originally published as “Manual de confessors” in 1549, would have at least six more editions during the 16th century. The present edition includes the guidelines of D. Friar Bartolomeu dos Mártires, after his participation in the third session of the Council of Trent: ¶ Foy visto, & emendado de muitos erros que nas impressões passadas auia, por mandado do Reuere[n]diss. S. Archbishop of Braga. The approval is given by D. Friar Amador Arrais. The copy, a little cropped with slight handling and slight browning lacks two blank sheets at the beginning and one at the end. Title page with antique ownership mark. Full of flexible parchment binding (from the period?), with new tie and endpapers. Anselmo, 542. BN (16th century), 816. King D. Manuel II of Portugal library does not mention.

Second Portuguese edition, published by Miguel Lopes Ferreira. Father Semedo (1585/86-1658), Jesuit and scientist, spent more than 20 years in China carrying out an in-depth study of local history and ethnography. He has always shown the greatest admiration for Chinese institutions and gives us a clear and concise account of the Chinese religious system. The work was written in Portuguese, but first published in Castilian by Manuel de Faria e Sousa (Madrid, 1642). It consists of three parts: a description of the kingdom, an explanation of its language and letters, and a set of ethnological and evangelical news. At the end, the second edition of the biography of Faria e Sousa, previously published in Madrid, in 1650, is bound. A slightly cropped copy, but very clean, lined in full sheepskin contemporary binding, slightly worn. Palau, 307304. Inocencio, I, p. 50 (with extensive description). Samodães, 1165. Palha, 4195.

IESVS. | ALLEGAÇOES | DE DIREITO, QVE SE |offereceram ao muito alto, & | muito poderoso Rei Dom | HENRIQVE nosso | Señor na causa da soccessaõ | destes Reinos por parte da| Senhora Dona Catherina | sua sobrinha filha do Iffan | te dom Duarte seu irmão | a 22. de Outubro de | M.D.L.XXIX.- Almeirim: Impressas per Antonio Ribeiro & Francisco Correa, 1580.- [6], 128 f.: 2 gravuras; 30 cm.- E.
An important specimen in the 16th century Portuguese bibliography, namely because it was printed in Almeirim and also because most of the known copies are either imperfect or incomplete, unlike the present one, a little cropped but in very good condition. The first sheet is especially rare, with the woodcut representation of D. Catarina's coat of arms (flattery), which is missing in most of the copies. The second engraving, on the fifth preliminary sheet (f. A5), with the family tree up to King D. Manuel I and D. Maria I, is also unusual. D. Catarina (1540-1614), Infanta of Portugal, was the second daughter of Infante D. Duarte, Duke of Guimarães, son of King D. Manuel I; she was a strong candidate for the throne of Portugal in the crisis of 1580, as she was heiress by manhood, while Philip II of Spain was the son of the Infanta D. Isabel (married to Charles V). Small cut on title page, affecting five letters on the front and 18 on the back, carefully redone. Minor tear on the outer edge of sheet 87, without lack of support. Otherwise, a complete copy, very clean and with large margins. Contemporary binding, entire flexible parchment, with minor imperfections. Samodães, 1855. Anselmo, 987. National Library (16th century), 6. King D. Manuel II of Portugal Library, 3.

The author (1813-1860) married in 1841 Matilda Penford, who was probably born in Quinta da Achada, near Funchal (Madeira). The couple, who had 13 children, lived in Quinta do Faial, in Santa Maria Maior, also close to Funchal, owned by João José de Bettencourt e Freitas. The edition consists of a frontispiece and a page with the dedication (to Mrs. Go. Stoddart), both lithographed; followed by the preface (blank verso), and four pages with the “Introductory remarks”; the descriptions of the prints occupy the last eight preliminary pages (the last one is blank); the 18 hand-coloured lithographs were stamped on the last 15 sheets, based on drawings by the author. Some prints with the lower margin (next to the edge) a little fragile. Otherwise, a copy with very slight browning, but generally clean, keeping the colour of the prints very fresh, from one of the rarest and most beautiful illustrated books on Madeira. There are copies that are part of a list of subscribers following the preface, which the present one does not include. Binding with leather spine (remade), keeping the original folders in gauffered paper (gauffré), with engraving of the title on the upper cover. Duarte de Sousa, II, 684.
