Lisboa: Typographia Universal, 1880. 3 v.; 240 mm. The first and only periodical publication of ethnology and glottology in Portugal, founded and directed by Francisco Adolfo Coelho (Serpa, 1847 – Lisbon, 1919), a decisive figure in the constitution of Portuguese ethnography and anthropology alongside Teófilo Braga, Consiglieri Pedroso, and Leite de Vasconcelos. Published in four issues – the second and third in a single volume – between 1880 and 1881, the journal emerged in the intellectual context of the Casino Conferences and reflects the program of scientific renewal that Coelho advocated: the issues include his ”Outline of a Program of Studies in Peninsular Ethnology, ” ”Materials for the Study of Portuguese Popular Festivals, Beliefs and Customs, ” and ”Studies for the History of Traditional Tales, ” which are among the founding texts of nineteenth-century Portuguese anthropology.
