LEITÃO (Com. Humberto) & LOPES (J. Vicente). DICIONÁRIO da Linguagem de Marinha Antiga e Actual. Lisboa. 1974. - LEITÃO (Com. Humberto) & LOPES (J. Vicente) DICIONÁRIO da Linguagem de Marinha Antiga e Actual . Com a colaboração do Comandante José Vicente Lopes. 2.ª edição. Lisboa: Centro de Estudos Históricos Ultramarinos, 1974. XXVIII, 548, [2] pp.: il.; 245 mm. Second edition. The dictionary arose from the difficulty the author experienced while working with the navigation diaries of the D. António de Ataíde codex, published by the Agência Geral do Ultramar from 1957 onwards: the 16th and 17th-century nautical texts abounded in technical terms of obscure or entirely unknown meaning, requiring a specialized lexicographical tool. The result is a reference repertoire of Portuguese nautical vocabulary, covering everything from medieval terms of shipbuilding and maneuvering to the terminology used in the Portuguese Navy in the 20th century. The work articulates historical research with maritime practice, and benefited from the collaboration of Commander J. Vicente Lopes. Sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
