Lisboa. 1937. - MAIA (Carlos Roma Machado de Faria e) APONTAMENTOS para um Novo Índice Cronológico das Primeiras Viagens, Descobrimentos e Conquistas dos Portugueses, inclundo as dos Nossos Pilotos que Serviram a Espanha . Trabalho executado para o esboço histórico do mapa luminoso que estene na Exposição Colonial do Porto de 1934. Lisboa: Oficinas Fernandes, 1937. 160, [4] pp.; 225 mm. Chronological index of Portuguese voyages, discoveries and conquests, including the activity of Portuguese pilots in the service of Spain, prepared as a historical documentary basis for the illuminated map displayed in the historical section of the Portuguese Colonial Exhibition, held in Porto in 1934. It updates and develops the tradition inaugurated by Luciano Cordeiro with his Chronological Index of the Navigations, Voyages, Discoveries and Conquests of the Portuguese (1881), bringing together, year by year, the main anniversaries of Portuguese maritime expansion from its beginnings to the modern era. It is part of the vast program of historical and propagandistic affirmation of the colonial empire promoted by the Estado Novo regime around the colonial commemorations and exhibitions of the 1930s. A useful working tool for the chronology of Portuguese expansion, simultaneously reflecting the official historical interpretation of the period in which it was produced. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
