SEARA NOVA: revista quinzenal de doutrina e crítica.- Nº 1 a nº 1599 (21 de Outubro de 1921 a Janeiro de 1979).- Lisboa: 1921-1979.- 1599 [i. e. 1596] números: il.; 32 cm.- B.
A remarkable, followed and almost complete set (only missing issues 304, 307 and 468) of a doctrinal and critical magazine founded by a group of Portuguese intellectuals led by Raúl Proença. From this first series, between October 1980 and December 1984, five more symbolic numbers were published (from 1600 to 1604), just to maintain the title. From the founding group, which emerged from the reformist and Europeanist current of the “Portuguese Renaissance”, we highlight the figures of António Sérgio, Câmara Reis, Ezequiel de Campos, Faria de Vasconcelos, Aquilino Ribeiro, Raúl Brandão, Augusto Casimiro, Jaime Cortesão and many other names from Portuguese culture and politics at the time. In the following years, well-known names from our intellectual elite joined the “seareiros”, such as Castelo Branco Chaves, Álvaro Salema, José Régio, Agostinho da Silva, Joaquim Namorado, Vergílio Ferreira, Carlos de Oliveira and many others. From a plastic point of view, it is worth noting, among many others, the collaborations of Carlos Botelho, António Pedro, Arlindo Vicente, Diogo de Macedo, Vespeira, João Abel Manta, Barata Feio and even Cícero Dias. About this important periodical, see the extensive and well-documented entry in the "Dictionary of Portuguese literary magazines of the 20th century" by Daniel Pires (Volume II, 2nd volume, p. 430 to 535.

Third Italian edition of the most important work by the Genoese diplomat and historian Jerónimo Conestaggio (†1635), by some attributed to D. João da Silva, 4th count of Portalegre.

The work, quickly translated into German, French, Latin and Castilian, with several editions until the mid-17th century, has been rehabilitated today and is considered an objective and impartial account of the events that led to the loss of Portugal's independence in 1580. Cropped copy, with light browning and slight handling; title page with occasional marginal restorations. Contemporary binding, full flexible parchment, with some wear and new endpapers; upper cover almost loose, but recoverable. Palau, 313372.

Volume somewhat trimmed with three old ownerships scratched on the title page of the first title. The second work, with the indication Pars Prima, corresponds to the BNP copy with the quotation F 1388. Ex-libris by Aníbal Fernandes Tomás and Victor d’Avila Perez (lot no. 2264 of the auction held in 1939/40). Interesting contemporary binding, entirely in sheepskin, with blind tooling decoration on the surfaces and gold decoration between the sections, tired, with serious faults in the cover and signs of wormholes on the spine; old(?) ownership scraped on the front cover.
