Abstract

The set of Noticias Practicas das Minas do Cuyabâ, e Guyazes Na capitania de São Paulo is formed by nine texts of different authorship concerning the monsoons and the bandeiras that were collected and gathered by priest Diogo Soares in Portuguese America in the first half of the 18th century. This work aims to trace the historical trajectory of this collection from the 18th to the 21st century and to prepare a scholarly edition of it. Divided into two parts, the first part seeks to understand the production, circulation, transmission, editing and reception of Noticias Practicas. For this purpose, we examined each of them and researched the lives of their respective authors, investigated the process of construction of the collection by priest Diogo Soares, scrutinized the composition of the printed editions published in the 19th and 20th centuries and analyzed the readings of these texts from 18th century to contemporaneity. Thus, we realized that the interest in Noticias Practicas, the forms of sharing their information and the uses that were made of them varied according to the circumstances. In the second part, we present the edition based on the manuscripts safeguarded in the Public Library of Évora, in Portugal, making it accessible to the public. (AU)
