MELO (Manuel Soares de Albergaria Paes de). SOARES de Albergaria: Subsídios para a sua História. Lisboa. 1952. - MELO (Manuel Soares de Albergaria Paes de) SOARES de Albergaria: Subsídios para a sua História . Prefácio de Luiz de Bivar Pimentel Guerra. Lisboa: Edição do Autor, 1952. 484 pp.: il.; 255 mm. Self-published edition of 400 copies. A seminal monographic study on the Soares de Albergaria family, a lineage of immemorial nobility originating before the discovery of the Atlantic islands, whose most celebrated members include Lopo Soares de Albergaria, governor of Portuguese India (1515-1518). The work traces the family's genealogy through its various branches, using archival documentation, and includes extensive iconography, 35 extra-text prints, and 48 fold-out family trees. The preface is by Luiz de Bivar Pimentel Guerra, the same genealogist responsible for * A Casa da Graciosa* (1965), a work that shares the same approach of a genealogical monograph of a Portuguese noble family.
