Coimbra. 1898. - VITERBO (Sousa) VIAGENS da India a Portugal por Terra e Vice-Versa: Resenha Histórica e Documental . Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1898. 146 pp.; 250 mm. A historical and documentary review of overland journeys between Portuguese India and the Kingdom, exploring alternative routes to the maritime route of the India Route, primarily through the Persian Gulf, Asia Minor, and the Levant. Sousa Viterbo compiles and systematizes, with documentary evidence, the known cases of this type of travel between Portugal and the State of India, contributing to the study of land routes that served as an alternative to circumnavigating the Cape, particularly for official correspondence and the flow of information between the metropolis and the East. A work of documentary scholarship typical of late 19th-century Portuguese historiographical production on the Age of Expansion, published by the University of Coimbra Press. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
