MS. Freitas, José Valentim de, Memórias e Pontamentos sobre antiguidades da Cidade de Lisboa, s.d.
FREITAS (José Valentim de)
MEMÓRIAS e apontamentos sobre antiguidades da Cidade de Lisboa. [Lisboa]: s.d. [s.XIX].
Manuscrito sobre papel; 1 ff. de título, 90 ff. numerados; 165 mm. Bonita encadernação inteira de marroquim grená, lombada e pastas ricamente decoradas a ouro; armas de D. José I a ouro em ambas pastas (trata-se de um reaproveitamento, provavelmente do s. XIX com um acrescentamento de rótulo); carimbo a óleo no frontispício de J.J.A. Valdez e pequeno corte reactangular com falha de papel no mesmo.
Prior to Castilho's studies, this small manuscript compiles a series of memoirs about Lisbon, seeking to provide an analysis of the city's history. Starting with the description of the Roman Theatre of Lisbon and the Baths of Cassios, the analysis of archaeological remains skips a few stages and moves on to the conquest of Lisbon, interspersed with analytical dissertations of classical works that dealt with local and topographical themes, such as the Mappa de Portugal by Father João Baptista de Castro.
The manuscript has a small cursive handwriting, typical of the mid-19th century, which continues uninterruptedly until the end.
Very curious and interesting.
