Nosso Senhor, desde o anno de 1750 até o de 1760, e a pragmatica do Senhor Rey D. João o V. do anno de 1749. Tomo I [a tomo IX (1814)].- Lisboa: Na Officina de Antonio Rodrigues Galhardo [e outros], 1776-1814.- 9 vols.; 28 cm.- E.
Collection of laws published separately, gathering more than 1,500 legal diplomas in nine volumes (the first three with title pages and indexes), covering the period from May 24, 1749 to August 9, 1814. The set includes not only the period immediately after the earthquake of November 1, 1755, but also the first seven years of the Court's stay in Rio de Janeiro, although all the diplomas were apparently printed in Lisbon. The nine volumes, slightly trimmed, are exceptionally clean and maintain good margins. Volume I with a manuscript, from the time, on the title page (Serpa?); volume IX has 28 leaves with the lower outside corners cut, without ever affecting the text; very few traces of worm work, confined to the endpapers of three volumes and no more than six leaves (in more than 6,000) of so many other diplomas contiguous to the endpapers (negligible and marginal traces). Identical entire sheepskin bindings of the time (first quarter of the 19th century), preserving the original endpapers, with traces of worm work on the spines and some weak joints.
