BRAZÃo (Eduardo). HISTÓRIA Diplomática de Portugal: Volume I, 1640-1815. Lisboa. 1932. - BRAZÃo (Eduardo) HISTÓRIA Diplomática de Portugal: Volume I, 1640-1815 . Com um prefácio do Prof. Dr. Moses Bensabat Amzalak. Lisboa: Livraria Rodrigues, 1932. [16], 486, [2] pp.; 210 mm. First of two volumes, published when the author was 25 years old. Eduardo Brazão (Lisbon, 1907 - Cascais, 1987), son of the celebrated actor of the same name, graduated in Law from the University of Coimbra in 1929 and pursued a diplomatic career, becoming one of the central figures in the historiography of 20th-century Portuguese diplomacy. Consul, Chargé d'Affaires, Ambassador to the Holy See, and National Secretary for Information, Popular Culture and Tourism, he dedicated decades to the study of Portugal's foreign relations using archival sources. Among his reference works are * External Relations of Portugal: Reign of D. João V* (2 volumes, 1938), *The Restoration: Diplomatic Relations of Portugal from 1640 to 1668* (1939), and * Portugal at the Congress of Utrecht * (1934). This first volume, with a preface by Professor Moses Bensabat Amzalak, covers the period from 1640 to 1815, from the Restoration to the eve of the Congress of Vienna, and constitutes the first systematic synthesis of Portuguese diplomatic history within this chronological framework. The second volume, relating to the period 1815-1834, was published in 1933 by the same publisher. (Estimated.) ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
