About This Item
Orléans, Imprimerie Alexandre Jacob, 1829.. First edition in French. 8°, modern stiff vellum, spine blank, red label on front cover with short author-title lettered gilt. Small woodcut ornaments on title page and final page. Scattered light foxing. In very good condition. 56 pp. *** First edition in French of Noticia dos manuscriptos pertencentes ao direito publico externo diplomatico de Portugal (Lisbon, 1827). A second edition in French appeared in Paris, 1836. Santarem provides comments, sometimes lengthy, on the content, context and importance of manuscripts in the Bibliothèque Royale, the Archives Nationales, the Bibliothèque de Ste. Genevieve, the Arsenal, the Mazarine and the Invalides that relate to Portugal and her overseas possessions.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 also 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.*** Innocêncio XVI, 216; cf. V, 435 for the Lisbon, 1827 edition. Porbase locates three copies, all at Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal. Jisc locates one copy each at British Library and Oxford University. NUC: DCU-IA, PPAmP.
