FITZLER (M.A. Hedwig) e ENNES (Ernesto). SECÇÃO (A) Ultramarina da Biblioteca Nacional: Inventários. Lisboa. 1928. - FITZLER (M.A. Hedwig) e ENNES (Ernesto) SECÇÃO (A) Ultramarina da Biblioteca Nacional: Inventários . Estudos e notas por M.A. Hedwig Fitzler e Ernesto Ennes. Lisboa: Oficinas Gráficas da Biblioteca Nacional, 1928. [24], 334 pp.; 220 mm. Inventory of the Overseas Section of the National Library, published in the Publications of the National Library , with studies and notes by Hedwig Fitzler and Ernesto Ennes. It brings together the list of codices of the extinct Overseas Council, preceded by a study by Hedwig Fitzler, the description of the books that came from Mozambique on the initiative of António Enes, which entered the National Library in 1882 and 1896, and the inventory of the archive of the General Directorate of the Navy, with the funds of the General Trade of the Navy, the ship archives and the Naval Battalion. The documentation of the Overseas Council and the State Secretariat for the Navy and Overseas Territories was transferred to the National Library in 1889 and formed the basis of this section, now dispersed among other institutions. The inventory therefore remains a valuable tool for studying the sources of Portuguese overseas administration from the 17th to the 19th centuries, with particular interest for the history of Brazil, Africa, and the navy, and is frequently cited in archival and historiographical bibliography. A reference work, unusual in the market. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
