1708. Carta de Filipe de Sousa para Luís José de Vasconcelos, fidalgo.

Author(s) Filipe de Sousa      
Addressee(s) Luís José de Vasconcelos      
In English

After the liberal revolution in Portugal, the state centralized the Art education by merging the teaching of Fine Arts and of Mechanic Arts. The Lisbon National Academy of Fine Arts was founded in this context in 1836 and was inaugurated in the following year. It occupied the building of the extinct Monastery of São Francisco, where a library of thousands of volumes was also available. Although its history was obviously made of changes, the Academy maintained a strong cultural, pedagogical and honorific vocation. Besides forming new artists, the Academy always gave scholarships and prizes and saw to the publication of reference works.

The documentation that we publish from its archival funds belong to a donation made in 1902 by António TomásPires (1850-1913), an ethnographer, writer, politician, and member of the National Monuments committee. He assembled documents from the 16th to the 19th century, among which many private and family letters.

foi bastantemente mo-lhada, mas vinha eu ja tão costumado a experimentar esta inclemencia do tem-po q a não estranhava

Ha muito tempo q sigo hũa oppinião q sempre pareceo q era mui propria dos homes honrados, e he publicar as ver-dades, e referir as virtudes daquellas pe-çoas em q as sei reconhecer;

logo que aqui cheguei disse nas partes em que me paresseu conveniente q era justo q VM tivesse grande atenção assim ao serviço q VM lhe havia feito, como ao danno q a sua fazenda havia padecido com a guerra;
[5]
agora q VM me ordena q faça ao Sr Marqs de Allegrete a re-prezentação de hũa, e outra couza pa ser despachado com o governo da terra de então executarei aquella ordem, e estimara eu mto q a minha delliga fosse tão util aos requerimentos de VM como me foi a me q me fes dandome em Elvas a comodedade de estar admiravelmte agazalhado, por cujo favor sempre me confecarei Sr Luis Joze de Vos tão agradecido, como penso ao servico de VM
