2 vols, cloth, blindstamped cover device, large 8vo, xxviii, 502, [1] + 503-1074, [1] pp. Over 10,000 entries. From the blurb: "Since 1958 the Bibliographia Brasiliana by Rubens Borba de Moraes has been the standard reference source for libraries, scholars, and the book trade on rare books about Brazil. This thoroughly revised, corrected, and expanded edition contains fifty percent more material than the first edition and represents the culmination of the author's lifelong bibliographic effort. In more than 10,000 citations the author describes works published abroad from 1504 to 1900 and works of Brazilian authors published before the independence of Brazil in 1822. An entirely new subject index has been added to this edition, greatly enhancing the bibliography's usefulness to historians and scholars in related fields. The two volumes are illustrated with 300 title page reproductions. In the commentaries the author assesses the importance of the books with respect to Brazil, and discusses how they came to be written, their character, and their history. Descriptions and collations are brief and clear. References to additional bibliographic sources have been confined to classic works and those presenting the most complete descriptions."
