LUSITANIA: Revista de Estudos Portugueses. Lisboa. 1924. - LUSITANIA: Revista de Estudos Portugueses . Directora Carolina Michaelis de Vasconcelos. - Editor Câmara Reis. - N. 1 (Jan 1924) - n. 10 (Out 1927). Lisboa: Câmara Reis, 1924. 10 fasc.: il.; 255 mm. Rare and highly valued. Complete collection of the ten published issues (no. 1, January 1924, to no. 10, October 1927), the only existing series of this magazine. Founded and directed by Carolina Michaelis de Vasconcelos, the most eminent Romance philologist of her generation and, since 1912, one of the first two women elected to the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, Lusitânia brought together one of the most notable editorial bodies in the Portuguese scientific and cultural press of the first third of the 20th century. The editorial staff included, among others, Afonso Lopes Vieira and Reynaldo dos Santos (editorial secretaries), António Sardinha (literature), António Sérgio (literary criticism), Carlos Malheiro Dias (Luso-Brazilian studies), José Leite de Vasconcelos (ethnography), Luciano Pereira da Silva (mathematical sciences), and Ricardo Jorge (biological sciences), with occasional contributions from Jaime Cortesão, J. Lúcio de Azevedo, and other prominent figures of the period's erudition. The magazine did not survive the death of its founder and director, which occurred in 1925: the last issues were published under the designation of ”former director, ” and the tenth and final issue, from October 1927, is entirely dedicated to her memory, associating it with that of Luciano Pereira da Silva, another contributor who had since passed away. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
