Lisboa: Academia Portuguesa de História, 1991. 156, [8] pp.: il.; 260 mm. A collection of studies published by the Portuguese Academy of History on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of D. Manuel II (1889-1932), the last king of Portugal, bringing together papers from various academics on different facets of his life and reign. This volume gives particular prominence to King Manuel II's role as a bibliologist and collector, with studies dedicated to his library, his ex-libris, and the authorship of the third volume of his fundamental work, the Early Portuguese Books ( Livros Antigos Portugueses ), a bibliographic catalog of 16th-century Portuguese printed works which, compiled during the monarch's English exile, remains an indispensable reference work for early Portuguese bibliography. It also includes studies on the king's diplomatic activities, the army during his reign, and the founding, through his will, of the House of Braganza in Vila Viçosa.
