GALVÃO (Fr. Joaquim de Santo Agostinho Brito França) (?)
ENSAIO sobre a Historia da Lingua Portuguesa. s.l.: s.n., s.d. [s. XIX].

Manuscrito sobre papel composto por 30 ff. em branco iniciais; 1 ff. com texto introdutório; 1 ff. em br.; 2 ff. de tábua; 146 ff. numerados 1 a 232 com erros de numeração; 124 ff. originalmente não numerados com numeração moderna a carvão; 21 ff. em branco; 225 mm.

Manuscript of an essay on the history of the Portuguese language, possibly written by Joaquim de Santo Agostinho Brito França Galvão. According to what we read in Innocent (v. 12, p. 147), this author left a manuscript work with the same title.

The work is divided into three parts. The first is entitled 'Of the Different Languages used in Portugal'; the second, 'Of the Different Alphabetic Characters that will be used in Portugal'; and a third and final one entitled 'On the History and Philology of our Language.'

The first and second parts appear to be in a final form - erasures almost nonexistent and the folios properly numbered - unlike the last part, with the folios unnumbered, many erasures and corrections or some intercalated folios.
