LOBO (A. de Sousa Silva Costa). HISTORIA da Sociedade em Portugal no Século XV e outros estudos históricos. Lisboa. 1979. - LOBO (A. de Sousa Silva Costa) HISTORIA da Sociedade em Portugal no Século XV e outros estudos históricos . Lisboa: História Crítica, 1979. XX, [8], 807 pp.; 205 mm. This is a reissue of the original work, published in 1903-1904 by Imprensa Nacional, with an added annotated preface. *The History of Society in Portugal in the 15th Century* , by A. de Sousa Silva Costa Lobo (1840-1913), is a classic of Portuguese historiography, pioneering in its attempt to trace a global panorama of 15th-century Portuguese society through the systematic exploration of documentary sources from the National Archives of Torre do Tombo – population, general aspect of the country and its social state, weights and measures, currency and individual assets, among other topics. Despite the decades that have passed since its original publication, the study remains an unavoidable reference: as José Mattoso observed, no one has yet completed the plan that Costa Lobo conceived, nor has anyone replaced his preliminary studies, and to this day there is no demographic panorama of the country in the 15th century comparable to the one he attempted to outline. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
