LAFITAU (Joseph François)

HISTÓRIA dos Descobrimentos e Conquistas dos Portuguezes no Novo Mundo. Lisboa: Na Officina de Antonio Gomes, 1786-1787.

4 v.; []1, *8, A-Z8, Aa3; []1, A-Z8, Aa-Dd8, Ee7; []1, A-Z8, Aa-Ff8, Gg2; A-Z8, Aa-Gg8, Hh4; [2], XXXII, 374 pp.; [2], 446 pp.; [2], 468 pp.; 488 pp. Every volume with different full calf’s, very tired; water stained; wormholes.

Portuguese translation of Lafitau's work on the Portuguese Discoveries first published in 1733, according to Inocêncio by Manuel de Sousa. The bibliographer has a slightly different title than the work, so it is likely that there is a variant. Rare.

¶ Inocêncio, v. 6, p. 114
