Important new
reference work. A total of five volumes are planned. While
pre-1601 printing in Portugal has been studied and
described rather thoroughly, the seventeenth century is
less well known by far. This first volume contains 1,571
entries in alphabetical order, each with a line by line
transcription of the title page, collation by pages and
leaves, details about preliminary and supplementary leaves,
bibliographical citations, and Biblioteca Nacional call
numbers for works held by that institution. When the title
is not present in the Biblioteca Nacional, there are
references to other libraries in Portugal which own a copy.
There is a brief introduction by Fernanda Maria Guedes de
Campos (pp. ix-xii), and an essay on the late author by
Manuela D. Domingos (pp. xiii-xxxiv). The fifth and final
volume will be comprised of indexes.

Nicely produced
catalogue, designed by Manuel Rodrigues Pereira da Silva,
of an interesting exhibition held at the Museu da
Electricidade, Lisbon. Each of the 100 volumes exhibited is
meticulously catalogued. The author of the excellent
introductory matter is presently working on a more
elaborate study of the Craesbeecks, who printed and
published books in Portugal from the late sixteenth to the
late seventeenth century. The founder of the dynasty in
Portugal, Pedro Crasebeeck, or Pieter van Craesbeeck (ca.
1572-1632), had apprenticed with Plantin in Antwerp.

Solid, useful
manual, which unfortunately gives a bit too much credence
to some ideas of doubtful efficacy, such as, for example
"um bom livro precisa, quando doente, de um bom médico"; on
the contrary, we advise the beginning bibliophile to avoid
books with fungus, extensive worming, etc. From a
typographical standpoint, this work, designed by Manuel
Rodrigues Pereira da Silva, is one of the most delicious
volumes to be printed in Portugal in many a year.

Collected in
the late sixteenth century, this dictionary introduces for
the first time (according to the publishers), the
"Romanization" (i.e., the transliteration into the Roman
alphabet), of the Chinese language spoken in the final
years of the Ming period. The present work, with
substantial commentary and critical apparatus, no doubt
constitutes a milestone in the development of Chinese
studies.

Lists 497
illuminated manuscripts of the fifteenth century and
earlier in libraries in the Lisbon area. Each manuscript is
described briefly: content, origin if known, date,
collation, size, language, style of script, illumination,
binding, and provenance. A portion of each manuscript is
nicely reproduced in color—usually an initial or miniature,
with some text—and herein lies the volume's worth: to those
studying scripts and illumination, a detailed physical
description is no substitute for actually seeing a bit of
the manuscript. Includes indexes of principal and secondary
authors, titles, dates, copyists, illuminators, languages,
and provenances.
