Pelo graça de Deos Rei de Portugal e do Algarve, e Senhor de Ceuta, A requerimento da muito excelente Rainha Dona Leonor sua mulher, seguido do LIVRO DA ENSINANÇA DE BEM CAVALGAR TODA A SELLA, Que fez o mesmo Rei, o qual começou em sendo Infante; precedido d?uma introdução, illustrado com varias notas, e publicado debaixo dos auspícios Do Excellentissimo Senhor Visconde de Santarem, Socio da Academia Real das Sciencias de Lisboa, do Instituto de França, etc, etc. Fielmente trasladado do manuscrito contemporaneo, que se conserva na Biblioteca Real de Pariz, revisto, addicionado com notas philologicas e um glossário das palavras e das phrases antiquadas e obsoletas que nelle se encontrão. E impresso à custa de J. I. Roquette, presbytero. Pariz, em casa de J. P. Aillaud, Quai Voltaire, e em Portugal, em casa de todos os mercadores de livros de Lisboa, Porto e Coimbra. MDCCCXLII. [1842]. In 4º gr. De 28x21,5 cm. com xxxii, 672 págs. Encadernação da época com lombada em pele com ferros a ouro, cansada, com dano na coifa superior, e cantos cansados. Ilustrado com um fac-simile desdobrável litografado da primeira página do manuscrito. Exemplar com leves picos de humidade sobre a folha de rosto e acidulação natural do papel generalizada. Primeira edição de um códice medieval que era totalmente desconhecido até à época desta publicação: o LIVRO DA ENSINANÇA DE BEM CAVALGAR TODA A SELLA. Trata-se do primeiro tratado europeu de equitação da época moderna, sendo a obra anterior existente sobre o mesmo tema atribuída a Xenofonte. Contém nas últimas 10 páginas um glossário das frases e palavras antigas e obsoletas. Inocêncio II, 203: ?D. Duarte, XI Rei de Portugal, nascido em Viseu em 1391, e falecido de peste em Tomar, depois de curto e atribulado reinado, a 9 de Setembro de 1438. Os nossos historiadores deram-lhe o cognome de Eloquente. Foi este monarca muito dado às ciências e às letras, as quais mostra ter cultivado tanto quanto o permitia o estado dos conhecimentos naquela época. As obras mais importantes saídas da pena d'El-Rei D. Duarte, que depois de jazerem pouco menos que ignoradas (eram apenas conhecidos os títulos) por mais de quatro séculos, gozaram afinal da luz pública, são: Leal Conselheiro, seguido da Arte de Bem Cavalgar. Dado pela primeira vez á luz sobre o manuscripto original da Bibliotheca Real de París,com notas philologicas e um glossario das palavras antigas, por José Ignacio Roquete. Paris, 1842. 4.o maximo, com um fac simile do manuscripto. Do que se diz no prologo desta edição parece concluir se que fora o Visconde de Santarém o primeiro, que ali descobrira a existência do Leal Conselheiro; porém isto não é exacto. Já em 1804 o Abade Corrêa, estando em Paris, deparou com o manuscrito que o continha, como se vê de uma carta que o mesmo abade escreveu a Antonio de Araujo, então ministro de Estado, e da resposta deste; documentos que em seu poder conserva o Sr. M. B. Lopes Fernandes, e que fez publicar na Revista Universal Lisbonense vol. III da 1.ª serie (1843) artigo 299. Por mandado de Araujo o sobredito abade fez extrair uma cópia; mas por motivo ignorado em vez de a remeter, guardou a consigo, até que por seu falecimento em 1823 sua irmã a ofereceu á Academia Real das Ciências, onde julgo que existe ainda manuscrita? [EN] In quarto big. 28x21.5 cm. xxxii, 672 pp. Contemporary half calf binding, gilt at spine, one dent at top of spine, and worned out corners at folders. Illustrated with a folding lithographed facsimile of the first page of the original manuscript. Copy with some slight damp stains at title page, and general foxing mostly due to paper quality. Work containing a Political Advice to monarchs (Leal Consellheiro) and the first European work on horse riding (Arte de Cavalgar). This horsemanship treatise is the first of the modern era, being known a previous work attributed to the ancient greek Xenophon. Contains 10 pages of a dictionary of outdated Portuguese words and phrases, no longer in use in the.…
