DESLANDES (Venancio). DOCUMENTOS para a Historia da Typographia Portugueza nos Seculos XVI e XVII. Lisboa. 1888. - DESLANDES (Venancio) DOCUMENTOS para a Historia da Typographia Portugueza nos Seculos XVI e XVII . Lisboa: Imprensa Nacional, 1888. VIII, 286, [2] pp.; 240 mm. Second edition, considerably improved, meticulously printed on linen paper by the National Press of Lisbon. Venâncio Augusto Deslandes (1829-1909), Bachelor of Medicine and General Administrator of the National Press since 1878, was a direct descendant of the printers João da Costa and Miguel Deslandes, a family of French origin established in Lisbon since the mid-17th century. The Documents for the History of Portuguese Typography bring together a large corpus of documents, many of them unpublished, relating to Portuguese typography in the 16th and 17th centuries: privileges, licenses, contracts, royal decrees and other royal and ecclesiastical instruments that allow us to reconstruct the activity of the workshops, the mechanisms of censorship and granting of printing privileges, and the life of printers in Portugal during the Old Regime.
