SÁ, Manuel Tavares de Sequeira e.- Jubilos da América, na gloriosa exaltaçaõ, e promoçaõ do Illustrissimo e Excellentissimo Senhor Gomes Freire de Andrada, [...] Collecçaõ das obras da Academia dos Selectos, que na Cidade do Rio de Janeiro se celebrou em obsequio, e applauso do dito Escellentissimo Heroe...- Lisboa: Na Officina do Dor. Manoel Alvares Solano, 1754.- [78, 2 br.], 363, [1 br.] p.; 20 cm.- E.
First and only edition of a collection of works by members and sympathizers of the Academia dos Selectos, founded in Rio de Janeiro at the end of 1751 or beginning of 1752, presided over by the Jesuit Francisco de Faria, born in Rio. The association had a single meeting on January 30, 1752, in honour of Gomes Freire de Andrade, and the texts read at the time were published in the present volume, at the initiative of Manuel Tavares de Sequeira e Sá (fl. 18th century), secretary of the Academy, juiz de fora (magistrate appointed by the King of Portuga) in Vila de Redondo (Alentejo) and ombudsman general of the District of Parnaguá (Piauí, Brazil). The texts are contained in an extensive letter from Sequeira e Sá to members of the Academy, as well as some responses, followed by numerous poetic compositions, especially sonnets and epigrams, by various academics and sympathizers, namely Tomás José Homem de Brito, José Pereira Leão, Rodrigo de Seixas Brandão, Mateus Saraiva, Pedro da Silva Rosa, Inácio Gomes de Lira Varela, Domingos Lourenço de Castro, Francisco Correia Leal, António Nunes de Sequeira, Miguel da Costa, Miguel da Costa Ribeiro, Ângela de Amaral Rangel (blind to birth ), etc. Inocêncio (very rare copies I have seen) is of the opinion that most of the copies were sent to Brazil, which would justify their rarity. Borba de Moraes (p. 759/760) considers the “Júbilos” “a very important book in Brazilian literature”. Copy slightly cropped (carminated edges), with browning due to the poor quality of the paper and occasional ink stains. Recent binding, full sheepskin, with patina and gold tooling on the spine, in the manner of the time. Inocêncio, VI, p. 116 and XVI, p. 340. Sabin, 79186. Borba de Moraes, 759. Gauz (JCBL), 754/2.

Autor:Title / Designation: HOFFMANSEGG, Comte de; LINK, Johann Heinrich Friedrich.- Flore portugaise ou description de toutes les plantes qui croissent naturellement au Portugal, avec figures coloriées, cinq planches de terminologie et une carte.- À Berlin: de l’Imprimerie de Charles Fréderic Amelang et se trouve chez les Aureurs...- 1809-[1834].- 2 vols.: 1 atlas com 111, 3 (i.e 90, 2) gravuras; 57 cm.- B.
The German botanists Johann Centurius Hoffmann, Count of Hoffmansegg (1766-1849) and Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link (1767-1851) were in Portugal between 1797 and 1801 (stays not entirely coincident), having studied the Portuguese flora in depth and exhaustively. In addition to this edition, the two scientists also published a famous travel book, in three volumes, which came to rehabilitate the image of Portugal in the eyes of Europe (Kiel, 1801-1804), promptly translated into English and French. An incomplete copy, like most of the copies that have appeared on the market, in paperback (loose sections and engravings), preserving the covers of the fascicles, as it was published, of a monumental enterprise that, for more than a century, became the main work reference on this topic. The collation of the two volumes should be as follows. Volume I: [8], 458 p., engrav. 1 a 70; volume II: [4], 436 p.: engrav. 71-109, [2, 3] engrav.. ; 52 cm. Copy missing engravings 20, 24, 26, 33, 65, 68, 70, 73 a 77, 80, 83, 84, 85, 98 to 101 and 108a (numbered from 1 to 109, with two engravings with nº 90 (a and b) and two with nº 108 (a and b); the first of three finals is still missing “planches d’instruction” and a lithographed title at the beginning of volume I that appears in some copies. Volume II is missing eight pages of text: sections 77 to 80, corresponding to pages. 305 to 320. The engravings, copperplate opened, using the stipple technique, by several engravers, according to originals by G. W. Voelker and J. C. Hoffmann himself, were printed in colour, which makes the work the first to be printed in Germany, by this process. The two volumes of text, with some browning, preserve 27 covers of the respective fascicles, some with the numbering changed manually; the prints (in a total of 90 +2), also loose, retain a single cover. The set is packed in a modern protective box covered with fabric. Dunthorne 136. Great Flower Books, p. 59. Nissen BBI, 901. Stafleu & Cowan 2911.

P. maestro FRA FERDINANDO | HELEVO...- In Amsteradam: Apresso Niculau van Ravesteyn, 1647.- [6], 796, [19, 1 br.], 44 p.; 15 cm.- E.
An important part of the Restoration bibliography, entirely written in Italian and dedicated to Dom Vasco Luís da Gama, Marquis of Nisa. Giovanni Battista Birago (fl. 1641-1699), jurist and historian, born in Venice, was one of the main defenders of the Portuguese position in the controversy that followed the restoration of independence. Duarte de Sousa (nº 94) mentions a group of 10 p. in the end, probably by mistake, and they must be leaves. The present issue also includes an appendix “Manifesto per la parenteza de Ministri Apostolici dalla Corte di Portogallo” (group of 44 final pages), not mentioned in the consulted bibliographies. Slightly cropped, but clean copy. Contemporary binding, fully rigid parchment, with faults in the cover of the front cover. Edition not mentioned in the collection of the Viscount of Trindade.
