CORRÊA (Marquês de Jacome). HISTORIA da Descoberta das Ilhas. Coimbra. 1926. - CORRÊA (Marquês de Jacome) HISTORIA da Descoberta das Ilhas . Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1926. [6], 220, [6] pp.; 250 mm. A study on the discovery and initial settlement of the Portuguese Atlantic archipelagos, linking the historical narrative of the discoveries with the genealogical identification of the first captains-donatories and settlers of the islands. The work establishes links between the island lineages and the nobility of the kingdom, tracing, for example, the descendants of those honored by Constable D. Nuno Álvares Pereira following the Battle of Aljubarrota, who would later be linked to the colonization of the islands, in a genealogical reconstruction effort that is uncommon in this type of island historiography. A work of interest for the study of the history and genealogy of the colonization of the Portuguese Atlantic islands. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
