DIÁRIO do 3.º Conde de Linhares Vice-Rei da Índia. Lisboa. 1937-1943. - DIÁRIO do 3.º Conde de Linhares Vice-Rei da Índia . Lisboa: Biblioteca Nacional, 1937-1943. [8], 346 pp. em 2 tomos: il.; 245 mm. First edition. Publication by the National Library of Lisbon of the diary of D. Miguel de Noronha, 3rd Count of Linhares, Viceroy of India between 1629 and 1635, published in two volumes between 1937 and 1943. The diary, which the viceroy regularly wrote and whose copies he sent to the Kingdom, has survived only in fragmentary form. This edition presents the segment preserved in the National Library, relating to 1634 and 1635, a period in which the Book of Plans of All Fortresses was being prepared and in which the State of India faced increasing pressure from the Dutch and English. The daily record of governance, administration, trade, and war makes it one of the most meticulous and direct sources for the history of the Portuguese presence in the East during the Philippine period. Esteemed and unusually complete. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
