The Portuguese Studies Review Monograph Series
See also our edited volumes. Our approach is an echo of the war-cry with which Alain Guerreau invited scholars, back in 2001, to “éradiquer la logique diabolique du morcellement”, in an explicit critique of a bailiwick-based fragmentation of knowledge. The PSR is committed to the notion that crossing and re-crossing intellectual boundaries is what creates pathways along which new knowledge, new data, new meanings for old data, and new solutions are found and tested.

ISBN 9780921437536
The book combines the two core parts of the catalogue that had to be published in the PSR separately, due to space constraints. For a pre-release of the basic data to the research community, see here (Part One) and here (Part Two) (Academia.edu). The book version offers an updated, expanded and enhanced catalogue, adds a much more comprehensive introductory study, includes extensive indexing (persons, places, concepts, dates), and presents a full epistolary networking analysis with visualizations . Data from the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze, Sala Manoscritti, is being added to the volume to corroborate and fine-tune contextual chronology. On behalf of the authors, Baywolf Press and the PSR thank the BML (Firenze) and the Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo for their sustained assistance.

Medium-Term Commitments: In Preparation (Layout in Progress, Digital Atlas and Index Compilation in Progress) |
Volume 8 (2021): The Book of Valentim Fernandes: An Early Geographical and Historical "Print" that Never Went to Press (English Translation with Mirror Portuguese Text from the Original MS), 2 vols. (estimated at c. 600 pages) (true line-for-line mirror edition, formatting and lacunae preserved)
The edition will present a first ever English translation, as well as a mirror text in Portuguese (carefully verified palaeographic transcription). The Portuguese text brings additional corrections and clarifications to the Bensaúde & Baião version (1940; 1997 [corrected, updated and reissued by José Pereira da Costa]). The corrections result from a close study of the original MS (Codex [monacensis] hispanicus 27) held in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich. Various contentious aspects were addressed using digital enhancement of high-quality full-color images of the codex. The edition will include a complete codicological analysis, as well as a historical introduction, auxiliary studies, annotations, bibliography, and index. On behalf of the author, Baywolf Press and the PSR thank the Bayerische Staatsibliothek for access to digital research materials.

Further Volumes : Planned and In Preparation (Book Design Completed, Pre-Press Layout in Progress) |
Volume Number Not Assigned (2021): Esmeraldo de Situ Orbis: New English Translation and Mirror Portuguese Text
This translation of a well-known source of undeniable value for the history of exploration, cartography, Atlantic navigation, and the history of Africa is designed to supersede the classic, perennially reprinted, but entirely outdated G. H. T. Kimble version published by the Hakluyt Society in 1937, whose notes and bibliographic apparatus have become severely antiquated at least thirty years ago. The volume, already contracted and in preparation, will present a mirror Portuguese text, carefully cross-checked against existing editions and against the extant MS ("Principio do Esmeraldo de situ orbis / feito e composto por Duarte Pacheco, caualeiro da Caza del Rey Dom João o Segundo de Portugal ...", BN (Lisboa), COD 888). We thank the BNP (Biblioteca Nacional Digital) for assistance. Palaeographic corrections and codicological annotations will be highlighted in the edition, to facilitate comparative study.
