About This Item
Lisbon, Na Impressão Regia, 1828.. FIRST EDITION. 4°, early half tan calf over purple pebbled boards (corners a bit bumped), spine with raised bands in five compartments (beginning to separate at joints), gilt fillets, short author and title in second and third compartments from head; text block edges marbled. Small wood-engraved arms of Portugal on title page. Internally crisp and clean, in fine condition. Overall in good to very good condition. lix, 430 pp. *** FIRST EDITION; of this edition, only this volume was published. It includes references to diplomatic documents, treaties, letters, etc., ranging from 1265 to 1569, which Santarem summarizes and sets in context. The Paris edition, revised and expanded to eighteen volumes, 1842-1876, is "a classic and sought-after work" (Borba de Moraes). The second Visconde de Santarem (1791-1856) has been called "the greatest figure in the history of Portuguese cartography" (Cortesão, History of Cartography I, 23); in fact, it was Santarem who coined the term "cartographia." He traveled to Brazil with the royal family in 1807 and held various diplomatic posts. He served as Keeper of the Royal Archives at Torre do Tombo from 1824 until 1833, when he was dismissed for political reasons. Although he spent the rest of his life in Paris, his standing with the Portuguese government later improved to the point that the government funded many of his publications, and appointed him Keeper of the Torre do Tombo without requiring him to return to Portugal. *** On the 1842 edition, see Innocêncio V, 436-7; Borba de Moraes (1983) II, 773 ("a classic and sought after work"); Rodrigues 2191 Porbase locates only one copy, at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal. This edition not located in Jisc. KVK (51 databases searched) locates only the copy cited by Porbase. Not located in NUC.
