(Obra Completa de Charles Ralph Boxer, n.º 1-2) Charles Ralph Boxer (Isle of Wight, 1904 – Hertfordshire, 2000), a British army officer and Professor Emeritus of Portuguese Studies at King's College London, is considered the greatest historian of Portuguese maritime expansion in the modern era. With over 350 titles published between 1926 and 1984, his work focuses particularly on the Portuguese and Dutch empires in the East and Brazil, and he was decorated by the Portuguese government with the Grand Cross of the Order of Santiago da Espada and the Grand Cross of the Order of Prince Henry the Navigator. Volume I brings together studies on Macau from the 16th to the 18th centuries and is illustrated with maps, drawings, photographs, and facsimiles of documents. Volume II corresponds to the Portuguese edition of Macao Three Hundred Years Ago, a work originally published in Macau in 1942 and 1944, in a bilingual text. The Oriente Foundation began publishing this collection of complete works in 1991, which we believe was limited to these two volumes. The same institution had already published other texts by Boxer in independent editions – including Fidalgos no Extremo Oriente 1550-1770 (1990) – and would go on to publish, from 2002 onwards, the Opera Minora, a three-volume collection organized by Diogo Ramada Curto, which brings together scattered articles by the author. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
