Paris: Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, 1970. XXX, 144, [2] pp.: 255 mm. (Coleção Fontes Documentais Portuguesas) Joaquim Veríssimo Serrão (Lisbon, 1929 - 2016), historian and full professor at the Faculty of Law of Lisbon, member of the Lisbon Academy of Sciences and author of a vast History of Portugal in several volumes, publishes and studies in this work the population census ordered to be carried out in 1798 by the Intendant-General of Police of the Court and Kingdom, Diogo Inácio de Pina Manique (1733-1805). The census, organized by province, district, municipality, and parish, records the number of households and inhabitants throughout the continental territory, constituting one of the most complete demographic surveys of Portugal at the end of the Old Regime and a fundamental source for the study of Portuguese historical demography on the eve of the Napoleonic invasions. The work reproduces and critically analyzes the original maps, contextualizing them within the framework of the statistical survey policy promoted by the Pombaline and post-Pombaline administration.
