Lisboa: Academia das Ciências de Lisboa, 1933. [4], 192 pp.; 330 mm. A study on the first period of Portuguese governance of Ceuta, under the captaincy of D. Pedro de Meneses, 1st Count of Vila Real, between the conquest of the city in 1415 and the captain's death in 1437. Published by the Lisbon Academy of Sciences as part of the commemorations of the 5th Centenary of the Capture of Ceuta, in the series of Historical Texts of the Ceuta and Albuquerque Centenary Commission, the study reconstructs the first and decisive years of the Portuguese presence in the North African stronghold, a period in which D. Pedro de Meneses, distinguished in the conquest itself in 1415, ensured the defense of the city against successive Moroccan attacks, feats that Gomes Eanes de Zurara also celebrated in his Chronicle of Count D. Pedro de Meneses . A landmark contribution to the history of the first Portuguese government of Ceuta. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
