ARCHIVO HISTORICO PORTUGUEZ. Lisboa. 1903-1917. - ARCHIVO HISTORICO PORTUGUEZ . Vol. I, n.º I, Jan. de 1903 - v. XI, Ano de 1903. Lisboa: Typ. do Cabra; Imprensa Libanio da Sylva, 1903-1917. 11 v.: il.; 305 mm. Complete collection, in eleven volumes, of the first Portuguese history journal in the historiographical sense of the term, published in Lisbon between 1903 and 1917 on the initiative of Anselmo Braamcamp Freire and D. José da Silva Pessanha, its directors. It was published in monthly installments, with an interruption between 1910 and 1914 due to the change of regime, and was later compiled into eleven volumes. In the ”Foreword” to the first issue, signed by the editors, the journal begins with a critique of the state of preservation and organization of historical sources in Portugal and proposes to publish documents and studies, inviting readers to send notes on any documents they find. It adopts an ”archive” logic: most contributions are transcriptions of unpublished documents, mainly extracted from the Torre do Tombo collection, accompanied by studies that follow the method of the critical school, and the publication owes much to the financial support of its promoters. Among others, collaborators included Pedro de Azevedo, Braamcamp Freire, and Sousa Viterbo, who each authored more than thirty titles; António Baião, Júlio de Castilho, Brito Rebelo, Edgar Prestage, Carolina Michaëlis de Vasconcelos, João Lúcio de Azevedo, and Costa Lobo. Published works include those by Braamcamp Freire on the chancelleries of King Afonso V and King João II and on the date of the creation of the Admiralty of the Indian Ocean; Pedro de Azevedo on the chancelleries of the Duchy of Cadaval and the Chancellery of the Court and Kingdom; studies on the Inquisition in Portugal and Brazil; and on the Roma people in Portugal in the 16th century. The magazine published supplements: Amarrado ao Pelourinho , by Braamcamp Freire, appended to volume V; the first part of Crónica de D. João I , by Fernão Lopes, distributed with volumes III to IX; and Armaria Portuguesa , by Braamcamp Freire, distributed with volumes VI to X. The collection was republished in facsimile by the Santarém City Council in 2001, with a critical study by Joaquim Veríssimo Serrão. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate ¶ Dic. Hist.
