SANTO ANTÓNIO, Frei Henrique de.- Chronica dos eremitas da Serra de Ossa no Reyno de Portugal, e dos que floreceram em todos os mais Ermos da Christandade; dos quaes nos seguintes seculos se formou a Congregação dos Pobres de Jesu Christo; e muitos depois a Sagrada de S. Paulo primeiro Eremita, chamada dos Eremitas da Serra de Ossa.- Lisboa: na Officina de Francisco da Sylva, 1745-1752.- 2 vols.: 2 gravuras; 30 cm.- E.
Although the first testimonies of the presence of hermits in Serra d'Ossa date back to the 4th century, it was only in 1536 that the Congregation of the Poor of Jesus Christ was founded, by a bull from Pope Paul III, giving the hermits of Serra d'Ossa the rule of Saint Augustine. In 1578, Pope Gregory XIII, through the intervention of Cardinal D. Henrique, integrated the community into the congregation of Hermits of Saint Paul, making the privileges of the mendicant orders applicable to them. The master priest Henrique de Santo António (1682-1783), in the century Manuel Armão, born in Cascais, in addition to being a chronicler, was qualifier of the Holy Office, examiner of the three military orders, rector of the Lisbon Monastery and, twice, general of the order. The collation of each volume is as follows: I - [68], 986 p.: 1 engraved cover; II - [32], 961, [1 br,] p.: 1 engraved cover. The original of the third volume was completed, but disappeared in the 1755 earthquake, according to some, or it was printed and no copies are known, according to others. Both volumes are illustrated with the same engraved cover, between the front and the title page, representing Serra d’Ossa and its monastery. Exceptional copy (possibly washed), with impeccably gilt edge, covered in magnificent full green morocco bindings, signed Rousselle (Parisian bookbinder from the second half of the 19th century), with closed gilt panels on the spine, roll on the squares and watered silk endpapers.

LA GUERINIÈRE, François Robichon de.- Ecole de cavalerie, contenant la connoissance, l'instruction, et la conservation du cheval.- A Paris: Jacques Collombat, 1733.- [8], 276, [8] p.: 1 frontispício grav., il.; 44 cm.- E.
First folio edition of a monument to equestrian art, unanimously considered one of the most beautiful French editions of the 18th century. The first two small-format editions (in-16th) were published in 1729 and 1731, this being the third. The edition is illustrated with an engraved allegorical frontispiece representing the education of Achilles, with the bust of Louis XV in a medallion, 24 copperplate prints and three large allusive vignettes (140x235 mm), one at the beginning of each of the three parts of the work, opened on copper plate by the best engravers of the time (Cars, Aveline, Cocart, Audran, Lebas, Beauvais et Desplaces), according to originals by Charles Parrocel and Antoine Coquart. François Robichon de la Guérinière (1688-1751), recognized as the founder of the French riding school, began his activity as a squire to the Count d'Armagnac who, in 1715, commissioned him to found an equestrian academy in Paris. From 1730 until his death, with his brother Pierre as a partner, he directed the Académie des Tuilleries, with Prince Charles of Lorraine, chief equerry of King Louis XV, as its patron. We can consider the set of 24 plates into the following five groups: I – Double prints: 1. Le nom et la situation des parties extérieures du cheval (at the beginning of the text); 2. La course des têtes et de la bague (p. 166, with two small stains); 3. Maladies du cheval (p. 184). II - Technical plates: (A. Coquart — Borde): 4. La bride (p. 32); 5. Les différentes espèces de fers (p. 40); 6. La selle (p. 48). III - Teaching outlines (printed alongside the text, full page): 7. Plan d'une académie régulière (p. 58); 8. Plan de terre de l'épaule en dedans (p. 106); 9. Plan de terre de la croupe au mur (p. 110); 10. Le doubler (p. 122); 11. Plan de terre des changements de main (p. 123); 12. Les voltes" (p. 131); 13. Demi-voltes, passades et pirouettes (p. 134); 14. Le squellette du cheval (p. 173). IV - Plates of Parrocel et Audran (allures): 15 e 16. Les allures naturelles" (p. 74 et 74 bis); 17 e 18. Les allures artificielles (p. 78 et 81). V - Horsemen figures (originals from Parrocel): 19. L'épaule en dedans (p. 104); 20. Le marquis de Beauvilliers (p. 109); 21. Monsieur de Kraut (p. 114); 22. Mr. le Comte de St Aignan (p. 117); 23. M. le Marquis de La Ferté (p. 126); 24. S.A.S. Charles Prince de Nassau" (p. 143). Slightly cropped copy, but very clean and complete, with all the prints well placed and folded (the double prints with the outer edges folded). Two ex libris: Ex Bibliotecha J. H. Ancerhub (with silhouette, dated 1937); and Casa de Marialava - Dom Diogo.

Multidisciplinary treatise authored by an illustrious Torrejano (1568-1630) who was Master of Mathematics, Cosmography and Navigation and Chief Cosmographer of the Kingdom. The edition, apparently the only one, was printed at the expense of Pero Ramires and presents very interesting typographic aspects, namely, dozens of xilograph engravings, representing, with some crudeness, astronomical and astrological themes. It is worth noting, however, a very curious mobile scheme that in some copies appears mounted on the engraving on the verso of folio P5 (with two pieces rotating on the engraving, around an axis, representing the model of an instrument to determine the birth of signs), and which is currently to be assembled, with the engravings of the two pieces printed on the front of the last folio of the work (folio Oo8r, with blank verso). According to the author himself: «As pessoas curiosas mandarão fazer este instrumento de metal que sairá mais certo do que em papel». The edition presents some layout errors, namely: p. 24 duplicated (fólios C8 and D1); jumping from p. 101 to p. 103 (folios O2 and O3); jumping from p. 221 to p. 223 (folios Ff5 and Ff6); some changed numbers. The copy, slightly cropped (carminated and waxed edges) with the preliminary pages poorly bound, retains the rare errata sheet (before the f. ¶¶) that is missing in most known copies. Title page a little dusty, with some minor restorations on the verso (lower outer corner reconstituted, with damage to the xilograph frame); small wormhole (poorly) repaired, on the lower margin of sheets Bb4 to Ee5 (25 f.); occasional light (tidal) stains. Otherwise, a complete, solid and generally clean copy. Ex-libris by Victor d’Avila Perez (lot nº 2892 from the auction held in 1940). Binding from the 19th century, fully flecked sheepskin, with the spine profusely gold tooling (small superficial damage to the label). Inocêncio V, p. 427 (copies are rare). Nepomuceno, 712.

Second edition of a work of the greatest importance for the history of the Holy Places and their religious monuments. The Franciscan Bernardino Amico, born in Gallipoli (fl. 1590-1610), traveled through the Holy Land at the end of the 16th century, having been prior of his order in Jerusalem between 1593 and 1597(?). During his stay he collected numerous notes and drawings from life, including facades and plans of some now-vanished buildings. Back in Italy, he published the work, first in 1609, with engravings by Antonio Tempesta, nine prints less than in the present edition, illustrated with 33 double engravings, by the famous French engraver Jacques Callot, including an engraved frontispiece and a view of Jerusalem, according to the original by Antonio de Angelis (1578). The work is dedicated to Cosimo II, of Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who commissioned the engravings from Callot, expressly for this second edition. The volume presents irregular and incomprehensible pagination, which is why we present the detailed and rigorous collation below: [1], ¶4, A2, B1, C-F2, G1, H-L2, M1, N-R2, S1, T-V2, X1, Y-Z2, Aa-Cc2, Dd1, Ee-Qq2, Rr1, Ss-Vv2. The edition presents the engravings interspersed in successive printing and only afterwards was the respective descriptive text added. It was then necessary to add additional folios, when the remaining space proved to be insufficient for the text that needed to be printed, which explains the irregularity of the sections. On the verso of the last folio, the following colophon: In Firenze, M.DC.XIX. per il Cecconcelli. [mark of the pinter] Alle Stelle Medicee. Con Licenzia dé Superiori. All folios are found mounted in guards. Lightly cropped copy, with light handling and occasional stains. Some tears without lack of support, particularly in the folds of the engravings (and on the margin of f. O1). Ex-libris by Victor d’Avila Perez (not found in the auction catalogue held in 1940). Contemporarry binding, fully of rigid parchment, slightly worn and with some damage to the spine (recoverable). Amico's drawings were the first accurate images that reached the West, of some of the places of greatest religious significance in the Holy Land, namely the building of the Last Supper, the Way of the Cross and the Holy Sepulcher.

ANDRADE, Manuel Carlos de.- Luz da liberal e nobre arte de cavallaria.- Lisboa: Na Regia Officina Typografica, 1790.- XXVI, 454, [1, 1 br.] p.: 93 gravuras, 1 retrato; 35 cm.- E.
Complete copy (retains the final errata sheet), of one of the most beautiful books printed in Portugal in the 18th century and, certainly, one of the most sought after. Inocêncio states that some intended to attribute the work to the 4th Marquis of Marialva, chief groom, but this has not been confirmed to this day. The 93 engravings, of which 22 are fold-out (all well folded and placed), mainly represent attitudes of the horse in teaching and are opened on copper plate by several engravers, mainly Luís Fróis, but also Manuel Alegre, Luís Fernandez Piedra and others , according to originals by Joaquim Carneiro da Silva (Ernesto Soares, História, 1076). Print 76 (p. 390) bears a curious inscription: Silva del. — H. Queverdo aqua forti et terminé par J. J. Droüet 1792 (engravers not mentioned by E. Soares). The prince regent, future king D. João VI, is represented in engravings 21, 29, 53 and 59 (E. Soares and Ferreira Lima, Dictionary of Iconography, 1549 B). Allusive vignettes at the beginning of books I and VI. Portrait of the Prince Regent (at the beginning), title page and following page, as well as the last 20 pages, with slight foxing that affect the margin of the last engraving; purchase inscription (signed Manuel José Vitorino), from the 19th century, but not dated, on the verso of the portrait, which has some abrasion (to be erased ownership) on the upper margin. Otherwise, a clean copy, keeping the engravings very fresh and well folded. 20th century binding, fully sheepskin, with flecked patina and spine with closed panels, in the style of the time. Inocêncio, V, 386. Torrecilla, 25: [Edición] digna de las magníficas ediciones ilustradas del caballero Pluvinel y del duque de Newcastle.

NEGREIROS, José de Almada.- Manifesto Anti-Dantas e por extenso / por José de Almada-Negreiros poeta d'Orpheu, futurista e tudo.- [Liboa]: Edição do Auctor, s.d. [1915].- [8] p.; 30 [capas] cm.- B.
Original edition of the famous "Manifesto Anti-Dantas", published by Almada Negreiros following the premiere, on October 20, 1915, at the Teatro Ginásio, in Lisbon, of the play “Soror Mariana Alcoforado”, by Júlio Dantas himself, one of the most ardent detractors of the modernist current embodied in the magazine “Orpheu”. Dantas had been accusing the authors of the modernist generation of “disturbed minds and delusional ideas” for some time, among other more or less offensive epithets. In his "Manifesto"; Almada answers to him to the letter, in language so free and direct that it caused a scandal in conservative Lisbon society (a good example of Almada's verve is the famous tirade: MORRA O DANTAS, MORRA! PIM). Copy with dedication from the author on the first page, with strong calligraphic graphics: “Ao bom amigo Carlos Campos Offe. cheio de boa amizade, O Autor. Lxa. 8 Março [19]17”. The copy is in paperback, very clean, as published, with only a few small marginal tears on the paperback covers, without loss of support.

MANUSCRITOS.- [NORONHA, António José de, O.F.M.].- Sistema marcial, Aziatico, Politico e Historico / escripto no anno de 1772 por D. A.J.D.N. Dado a luz no anno de 1791, por J.R.D.C.D.F. Lisboa.- Século XVIII (ca. 1792).- 2 vols.; 21 cm.- E.
Handwritten copy of a single hand, of a work that, although indicated to have been published in 1791, remained unpublished until it was published by Fundação Oriente, in 1994, circulating at the time, only in handwritten copies. The author (1720-1776), who in the order assumed the name of Friar António da Purificação, was in India as a soldier and diplomat. The original would have been written in 1771, in the Limoeiro prison, where the author was imprisoned between 1770 and April 1772. The two carefully calligraphed volumes, with a total of more than 400 pages, rarely appear together, as is the case with BNP (only volume I) and the Academy of Sciences (only volume II). Volume II with some moisture stains limited to the upper margin of the last 12 sheets. Contemporary full-sheepskin bindings, with some wear and damage to the spines.
