SOUSA, D. António Caetano de.- Historia genealogica da Casa Real Portugueza, desde a sua origem até o presente, com as familias illustres, que procedem dos Reys, e dos Serenissimos Duques de Bragança.- Lisboa Occidental: Na Officina de Joseph Antonio da Sylva, 1735-1749.- 20 vols.: il.; 28 cm.- E. This monumental work can be considered a general history of the Kingdom, given the wide variety of information it contains. The Proofs section is also undeniably interesting, as it notably transcribes some documents that have since disappeared. The copy corresponds exactly to the description given by Inocêncio, namely: the first 12 volumes of the History are bound in 13; followed by the six volumes of Proofs and the volume of Index. The first volume includes a portrait of the author. The fourth volume contains engravings of royal seals, medals, and coins minted in Portugal since the beginning of the monarchy. None of the volumes includes the usual engraved frontispiece characteristic of the Academy. An old ownership mark (monogram) is present on all volumes. The copy is very clean, preserving large margins. The contemporary bindings, full sheepskin, those of the first two volumes with blind decoration on the covers, the others without decoration, only with the original patina. Samodães, 3241. Inocêncio, I, p. 101.
