This fourteenth number of the review Contemporânea was never previously published. José Augusto França provides a four page introduction. In 1929, three years after the thirteenth and final number had been published, José Pacheco was still trying to put out another issue. He never succeeded, but got as far as fairly advanced proofs, which are here reproduced in facsimile. Included are contributions by Fernando Pessoa ("D. Sebastião" to be included in the future Mensagem), Alvaro de Campos, António Navarro, António Botto (a "Canção" which would appear in the 1930 edition of his Canções under the title "Adolescente", with a curious variation in the fifth verse), a sonnet by Judith Teixeira, fragments of a poem by the Marquês de Quintanar, a fragment from a humorous novel by Armando Ferreira, an essay by Carlos Parreira, and more. A number of pages are reproduced in two different stages of proof.

Contemporânea, a Modernist journal, was under the literary and artistic direction of João Correia d'Oliveira and José Pacheco, respectively. A prospectus appeared in 1915, and thirteen numbers came out between 1922 and 1926. Two of the most frequent contributors were Fernando Pessoa and Almada Negreiros. Pessoa's essay "O Banqueiro anarquista," "António Botto e o ideal esthético em Portugal," and "Trois chansons mortes" all appeared here. So did one of his letters ("Carta ao autor de 'Sacha'") and fifteen of his poems. Drawings by Almada Negreiros appeared in seven different issues; he also did a self-portrait in the first issue and the cover for a later issue (Número 9). Besides the artwork, Almada Negreiros contributed "Histoire du Portugal par coeur," the poem "Rondel do Tejo," illustrated by one of his drawings, an essay entitled "O Menino de olhos de gigante," and the poem "A Scena do odio."

Other writers who often appeared in Contemporânea were Eugénio de Castro, Mário de Sá-Carneiro, Aquilino Ribeiro, and António Botto. Previously unpublished poems by Camilo Pessanha and António Feliciano de Castilho were printed here, as well as works by Teixeira de Pascoaes, Afonso Lopes Vieira, Hipólito Raposo, João Ameal and João de Barros. Columbano Bordalo Pinheiro contributed illustrations for three issues.

Editor: João Morales; redacção Filipe d'Avillez. The present issue includes interviews with Paulo Rego (by Filipe d'Avillez?) and Rui Tavares, by João Morales. There is an article by José Jorge Letria about Gonçalo M. Tavares. Morales and d'Avillez contribute additional texts of high levels, as usual. In effect this is a partial monthly trade list, with all the disadvantages of such publications from a library acquisitions standpoint. On the other hand, the list is becoming more inclusive, while the intellectual content remains most significant. We are happy to take standing orders for this important magazine.
