PRESTAGE (Edgar). AS RELAÇÕES Diplomáticas de Portugal com a França, Inglaterra e Holanda de 1640 a 1668. Coimbra. 1928. - PRESTAGE (Edgar) AS RELAÇÕES Diplomáticas de Portugal com a França, Inglaterra e Holanda de 1640 a 1668 . Trad. de Amadeu Ferraz de Carvalho. Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1928. xviii, 264 pp.; 240 mm. Portuguese translation, by Amadeu Ferraz de Carvalho, of the original English work by Edgar Prestage, *The Diplomatic Relations of Portugal with France, England, and Holland from 1640 to 1668* , published in Watford in 1925. The study, in chronological order and divided into three parts dedicated respectively to France, England, and Holland, examines the role of Portuguese diplomatic agents abroad and foreign agents in Portugal, from the Restoration of 1640 until the recognition of Portuguese independence by Spain and the restitution of the Brazilian territories conquered by the Dutch West India Company. It is considered, along with the later work of Eduardo Brazão on the same period, one of the two classic references on the diplomacy of the Portuguese Restoration, and is still cited today in studies on the Luso-British and Luso-Dutch colonial treaties of the 17th century. Highly regarded and sought after. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
