Porto: Imprensa Moderna, 1931-1936. 4 v.: il.; 245 mm. First edition. Camilo Martins de Oliveira (São Cosme, Gondomar, 1874 - Porto, 1946), professor, journalist, former priest and militant republican, founder of the Radical Republican Party and a prominent figure in the cultural and civic life of the municipality of Gondomar, dedicated decades to the collection and systematization of the enormous documentary, archaeological and ethnographic collection that forms the basis of this monograph. This work constitutes the most complete and exhaustive monographic survey ever undertaken on the municipality of Gondomar, covering its history from its prehistoric and Roman origins to the beginning of the 20th century, addressing the parishes, archaeology, toponymy, religious and civil institutions, traditions, and biographies of notable figures from the municipality. Profusely illustrated with photographs, engravings, and tables, some fold-out, the work is an indispensable reference for the study of the local history of Entre-Douro-e-Tinto and the Porto region. Esteemed and rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
