VITERBO (Sousa). DAMIÃO de Goes e D. António Pinheiro (1895); ESTUDOS sobre Damião de Goes, Segunda Série (1900). 2 obras num vol. - VITERBO (Sousa) DAMIÃO de Goes e D. António Pinherio . Apontamentos para a Biographia do Chronista de D. Manuel. Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1895. 32 pp.; 245 mm. This biographical study, in which Sousa Viterbo compiles notes and documents about Damião de Góis (1502-1574), pays particular attention to his relationship with D. António Pinheiro, a humanist and royal chronicler. He publishes and comments on various documents from the Torre do Tombo archive, notably chancery records related to the appointment of positions within that archive, where Góis served as chief archivist, contributing to clarifying the atmosphere of rivalry and intellectual collaboration surrounding the writing of official history during the reign of King John III and the early years of King Sebastian's reign. A pioneering work in the renewal of Gois studies at the end of the 19th century, it was cited early on among the reference works on the chronicler, and is still invoked today by the bibliography dealing with the Torre do Tombo archives and the biography of Góis. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate Junto com: VITERBO (Sousa) ESTUDOS sobre Damião de Goes: Segunda Série . Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1900. 186 pp.; 240 mm. This is the second series of studies by Sousa Viterbo on Damião de Góis (1502-1574), which continues the work of recovering documentary and biographical information about the humanist and chronicler begun by the author in previous years. It brings together essays and archival documents, some of them relating to the period when Góis was chief archivist of the Torre do Tombo (National Archives of Portugal), such as chancery records on the appointment of scribes and the supply of paper and ink to the archive, which shed light on his professional life and the erudite circles to which he belonged. Like the 1895 monograph on Góis and D. António Pinheiro, this series is one of the documentary bases of the Goisian bibliography prior to the 20th-century studies, regularly cited by works on the chronicler and on the history of the Torre do Tombo archives, and complementary to Joaquim de Vasconcelos's Goesiana .
