MS. Relatório de D. Luis de Menezes de Pangim, 1720
MENESES (Luís de)
[RELATÓRIO sobre o Estado da Índia]. Pangim: s.n., 1720.
1 v.: 42 ff., nums 1 a 84, 4 ff. de índice; manuscrito sobre papel; 300 mm. Encadernação moderna com lombada em pele; limpo.
Handwritten copy of a report by D. Luís de Menezes, 5th Count of Ericeira and 1st Marquis of Louriçal, in which he presents to his successor as Viceroy of India, D. Francisco José de Sampaio e Castro, in some detail, important information about the government of India.
D. Luís de Meneses was one of the most important Viceroys of India, having held the position on two occasions, the first between 1717 and 1721, to which this report refers, and the second between 1740 and 1742.
It is, therefore, an important document for understanding the history of the Portuguese presence in India in the first half of the 18th century.
