FUNDAÇÃO do Estado da Índia em 1505: Livro Comemorativo. Lisboa. 1955. - FUNDAÇÃO do Estado da Índia em 1505: Livro Comemorativo . Lisboa: Agência Geral do Ultramar, 1955. 146, [6] pp., 18 est.: il.; 230 mm. Commemorative book marking the 450th anniversary of the founding of the Portuguese State of India. The establishment of the viceroyalty, with the appointment of D. Francisco de Almeida in 1505 and the construction of the first fortresses on the Malabar coast, gave rise to the political-administrative structure that, based first in Cochin and then in Goa, would coordinate for more than four and a half centuries the network of Portuguese fortresses, trading posts, and territories in the Indian Ocean and the Far East. The volume, illustrated with eighteen plates outside the text, brings together evocative contributions to this event, integrating itself into the commemorative production of the Estado Novo regime concerning the history of Portuguese expansion in the East. Highly valued and rare. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
