Aires Pinhel (ca. 1512/1515 - ca. 1562) studied in Salamanca and received his doctorate in Cesário Law from the city on the Mondego River. He was appointed by King D. João III to teach at this University by decree of September 2, 1539, shortly after the definitive transfer of the University of Lisbon to Coimbra. He was a judge of the Court of Appeals and, at the end of his career, a professor at the University of Salamanca, replacing another Portuguese jurist, Manuel da Costa. He left us an extensive bibliography on legal subjects, published in Portugal and abroad. This copy shows signs of wormhole damage, almost always marginal, affecting the first 10 leaves and extending with three or four holes to the end of the volume. The title page has an old foreign ownersip manuscript, in the upper margin, difficult to read, and a small numerical stamp (291) near the imprint; occasional underlining from the period. Otherwise, a slightly trimmed but clean copy, printed on high-grammage paper. Full parchment binding, reconstructed, using a medieval manuscript in Gothic script. Anselm, 824. BN (16th century), 591.

Rare 16th century edition, in vernacular, of the Tridentine Catechism, whose translator was Fr. Cristóvão de Matos, as can be seen from the approval of the inquisitorial censor D. Frei Bartolomeu Ferreira, inserted in front of the third page. The text, completed in 1566, following a decision by the Council of Trent, was intended for the instruction of pastors and priests in general and not directly for the pastoral care of the faithful. The title page (with a xylography representing the coat of arms of D. Miguel de Castro, archbishop of Lisbon) and the two following pages, were composed in black and red. The copy, a little trimmed and with occasional minor marginal restorations, has pages A1 and A2 (the first two pages of the Prologue) bound after page A6, but is complete and solid. Recent binding, full sheepskin, with blind tooling on the covers and spine (weak joints). Anselmo, 11. Biblioteca Nacional (16th Century), 377. Biblioteca de D. Manuel II, 228

Fr. João Soares (1507-1572), born in Urrô (Penafiel), was a hermit of Saint Augustine and participated in the third session of the Council of Trent (1561/63); he was confessor of King D. João III and bishop of Coimbra between 1545 and the year of his death. He left us the constitutions of his diocese (Coimbra, 1548) and an extensive bibliography on religious themes, namely commentaries on the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and Mark. In 1548 he was responsible for publishing the new “Constitutions” of his bishopric. Second edition, with the royal privilege occupying the front of the second folio. The first edition (Anselmo, 158), in addition to other differences, presents the privilege on the verso of the first folio. On the back of the last sheet (missing in the BNP copy) there is a colophon dated October 1561. Copy, cropped, with ablation of the last line of the imprint (with the date), on the title page. Otherwise, a very clean and complete copy. Full sheepskin binding, from the 17th century(?) with mottled patina, preserving the original endpapers intact, on plain paper. Anselmo, 164.

Gregório Martins Caminha, a 16th-century Portuguese jurist about whom biographical details are scarce, was probably a native of Lisbon and was a lawyer at the Court of Appeals during the reign of King D. João III. This is the original, and rarest, edition of his Magna Carta, a compilation of 37 libels (models of petitions, contracts, and forms) intended to assist lawyers and magistrates in their work, especially in the courts. Anselmo records five editions from the 16th century alone, with four more known from the 17th century, four from the 18th century, and five from the 19th century. The copy is somewhat worn and slightly browned, but complete and solid. The title page is dusty, with a small antique ownership and restored outer corners; some old annotations and signs of reading, especially extensive on the verso of the title page (which is blank).

Duarte Nunes (1530-1608), a learned historian, law graduate, chronicler, and judge of the Court of Appeals, after the death of D. Henrique, the Cardinal-King, warmly embraced the cause of D. Filipe I, whose right to succession he defended in writing against those who challenged it. This is an important 16th-century type of printing, produced by João Blávio de Colónia, a German printer who worked in Lisbon between 1554 and 1563, having produced more than 50 types of printing works. The two preliminary sheets include: a title page, with a framed architectural xylographic frame; on the verso, a royal charter dated October 2, 1559; followed by the dedication MVITO ILLVSTRE SENHOR (to D. Francisco Coutinho, Count of Redondo); on the verso, a small block of 14 lines AOS LECTORES, with instructions on the organization of the work.

This is the only published part of the four that the author is believed to have left in manuscript. The compiler, Father Simão Coelho (1514-1606), studied at the Universities of Salamanca and Siena; he was prior of the convents of Moura and Lisbon, eventually becoming provincial of the Order. Father Balbino Velasco Bayon, in his History of the Carmelite Order in Portugal (Lisbon, Paulinas, 2001), states that this is the first printed work concerning the history of the Carmelite Order, a book of great erudition and a true bibliographic rarity. The edition features a frontispiece with four xylographic stripes, framing an extensive summary of the work, with the title printed on a cartouche in the upper stripe. This is followed by a full-page xylographic engraving with a blank verso, representing the coat of arms of the Order. Working copy, but complete, heavily trimmed, with severe burns (repaired) on the upper outer corners of the entire volume, occasionally affecting the typographical area, particularly on the title page. Stamp of the Azevedo House on the engraving (lot no. 787 of the auction held in 1921/22) and ex-libris of Victor d’Avila Perez (lot no. 1815 of the auction held in 1939/40); both descriptions already include the defects briefly described. 19th-century binding, full sheepskin, with imperfections in the covers and spine.

The work is composed of two parts which, although with their own title pages, present independent leafing. It includes the following illustrations intaglio engraved by the editor, painter and engraver Pierre Daret (1604-1678): two Venetian titles, an allegory (La vertu au Roy), a portrait of the author (in medallion), another allegory (before the preface), 103 emblematic figures (repeating the illustrations of Otto van Veen's Emblemata Oratiana, from 1607), each of which is accompanied by two poems (in Latin and vernacular) and the respective explanatory text on the opposite page. It also includes several decorative elements alongside the text: four large vignettes, two identical engravings at the end of each part, and several initial capitals, also intaglio engraved. The copy is somewhat handled, with several imperfections, notably some browning and occasional stains. The binding is not contemporary, with a leather spine and slight wear. Tchémerzine p. 454.

MANUSCRITOS.- FREIRE, Agostinho José.- Cartas dirigidas ao Duque de Terceira.- Século XIX (1834).- 28 documentos; 20 cm.
Agostinho José Freire (1780-1836), an army officer, minister, and State Councilor, born in Évora; he was a Freemason and defender of the liberal cause, distinguishing himself during the Peninsular War, and was assassinated during the Belenzada on November 4, 1836. This collection consists of 27 handwritten letters (and one note) addressed to the Duke of Terceira (1792-1860), dealing with political matters, written on bifolios (2 to 4 pages each), almost all dated only with the day and month. However, one of the letters is dated January 29, 1834, which makes it acceptable to date the others between January 13 and July 25 of the same year.
