Coimbra. 1933. - SARMENTO (Francisco Martins) DISPERSOS: Colectânea de Artigos Publicados, desde 1876 a 1899 [...] . Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1933. X, 524, [4] pp.: il.; 300 mm. First edition. Collection published on the initiative of the Martins Sarmento Society as part of the commemorations of the centenary of the archaeologist's birth in 1933, bringing together about eighty scientific articles that were previously scattered across magazines and newspapers. The collection was compiled by Domingos da Costa Araújo, Mário Cardozo and Ruy de Serpa Pinto. The texts, published between 1876 and 1899, cover archaeology, ethnology, mythology, epigraphy, and prehistoric art, and accompany Martins Sarmento's research program on the Castro culture of the Northwest Iberian Peninsula, initiated with the explorations of Sabroso and the Citânia de Briteiros. Illustrated. A fundamental work for the history of Portuguese archaeology, still cited today in studies on the hillforts of Entre-Douro-e-Minho. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
