FIGUEIREDO, Pe. José Anastácio de (1766-1805).- Nova historia da Militar Ordem de Malta, e dos Senhores Grão-Priores della, em Portugal: fundada sobre os documentos, que só pódem supprir, confirmar, ou emendar o pouco, incerto, ou falso, que della se acha impresso; servindo incidentemente a outros muitos Assumptos, com geral utilidade.- Lisboa: na Officina de Simão Thaddeo Ferreira, 1800.- 3 vols.: 1 estampa desdobr.; 29 cm.- E. 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.
