contains interviews with João Alvim, president of the
Círculo de Leitores, and José Jorge Letria, and much more.
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.

We have only
one apparently complete run available. We say "apparently"
because the bibliography of this review is rather confusing
and sketchy. According to a knowledgeable employee of the
Imprensa Nacional, we have all the issues ever published.
While it may seem odd that there are only five numbers for
the initial volume and six for all but volumes IV and VII
(the final one) of the first series, there are tickets
inside the front covers of the first two numbers stating
that a subscription for the first year consists of 5
numbers; regarding volumes IV and VII, these were difficult
times in Portugal.
For
the first series, we were able to confirm that it began in
1972 and that the British Library holds volume VI, numbers
1-3 [a triple issue]. Porbase lists for the first series
only the first volume, 1972, and for the second series only
states that it began in 1983 and that its appearance was
"irregular". The British Library Integrated Catalogue
states that for the first series the BL has only volume VI,
numbers 1-3; for the second series the BL holdings are less
clear, the BLIC stating that it begins in 1983. Hollis does
not list the first series at all, and states that Harvard
has only numbers 10 through 20 of the second series. Orbis
does not list the first series either, and states that Yale
has numbers 1 through 20 of the second series. The Library
of Congress Online Catalog does not mention the first
series; it says the LC has 20 volumes of the second series,
and that this series ceased with number 20 (1992). See also
Almeida Marques 1724 for a set without any numbers of the
first series, and with only numbers 1-16 and the three
unnumbered special issues of the second series.
The
first series is subtitled Revista
nacional de artes gráficas. As the title
implies, it is devoted to the graphic arts, with emphasis
on printing processes, machinery, ink, paper and types.
There are also articles on printing history, such as that
in the first number by Jorge Peixoto on "Custódio José de
Oliveira e as artes gráficas em Portugal"; and José Pedro
Machado "O impressor de Os
Lvsiadas" in the second
issue.
The
second series is subtitled Revista da
Imprensa Nacional / Casa da Moeda. It contains
some material on printing history, but is mainly concerned
with literature, literary history and criticism, with some
bibliography thrown in. Edited by Diogo Pires Aurélio, it
includes contributions by Jorge Borges de Macedo,
José-Augusto França, Eduardo Lourenço, Vasco Graça Moura,
Sophia de Mello breyner Andresen, Jorge Listopad, Hernâni
Cidade, Clara Rocha, António Reis, Luís Filipe Barreto,
Viale Moutinho, Eduardo Prado Coelho, José Mattoso, Diogo
Pires Aurélio, Miguel Torga, Mário Cláudio, Luís de
Albuquerque, Eugénio Lisboa, José Fernandes Fafe, Eugénio
de Andrade, António Ramos Rosa, Maria Alzira Seixo, Joel
Serrão, António Coimbra Martins, Urbano Tavares Rodrigues,
and others. Some of the literary contributions are
otherwise unpublished.
The
third series, of which only the first two numbers have so
far appeared, includes, in the initial number, three essays
on Fernando Gil (1937-2006), by José Marinho, Miguel Real,
and Manuel Ferreira Patrício. There are additional essays
by A.M. Machado Pires on post-modernism, Ivo Castro on
Pessoa, José Carlos Seabra Pereira on Vitorino Nemésio and
Gomes Leal as art critics, and Rui de Figueiredo Marcos on
the work of Paulo Merêa. A short story by José-Augusto
França is followed by a brief theatrical piece by Luiz
Francisco Rebello. The volume also contains an homage to
Afonso Lopes Vieira, as well as critical articles by Luiz
Francisco Rebello on the theater of José Régio, Duarte Ivo
Cruz on the theater of Luiz Francisco Rebello, Duarte Ivo
Cruz on the fourth volume of the Teatro
completo of Jaime
Salazar Sampaio, and more. The second number includes
essays on Âgelo Alves by Manuel Ferreira Patrício, Vergílio
Ferreira by Ana Bela Morais, Marcelino Mesquita by Duarte
Ivo Cruz, Agostinho da Silva by Paulo Borge, and Julien
Benda by João Tiago Proença. The volume also contains a
translation of Nietzsche, as well as a play by Teresa Rita
Lopes, and a poem by Fernanda de Castro. There are reviews
by Luiz Francisco Rebello, Fernando Guimarães, Carlos Leone
(3), João Tiago Proença, Pedro Calafate, Miguel Real, and
others.
