GONÇALVES (Francisco Rebelo). VOCABULÁRIO Ortográfico da Língua Portuguesa. Lisboa. 1940. - GONÇALVES (Francisco Rebelo) VOCABULÁRIO Ortográfico da Língua Portuguesa . Lisboa: Imprensa Nacional de Lisboa, 1940. XCII, 822, [2] pp.; 285 mm. The first orthographic vocabulary endorsed by the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, authored by the philologist Francisco Rebelo Gonçalves (1891-1975), professor at the University of Coimbra and a central figure in 20th-century Portuguese lexicography and linguistics. The work was compiled and printed as part of the celebrations of the double centenary of the founding and restoration of Portuguese nationality (1940), during a period of intense affirmation of the Portuguese language as a vector of national identity. The adopted orthography is based on the 1911 reform and the 1931 Luso-Brazilian Orthographic Agreement, signed between the Lisbon Academy of Sciences and the Brazilian Academy of Letters. This volume constituted the normative reference for written European Portuguese for more than three decades, being succeeded by the 1947 Concise Orthographic Vocabulary – already in line with the 1945 Luso-Brazilian Agreement – and later by the 1970 and 2010 editions.
