Portuguese bibliography

"Portuguese bibliography" by Aubrey F. G. Bell is a bibliographical reference work written in the early 20th century. It assembles and organizes scholarship on Portuguese letters—covering general studies, primary texts, anthologies, folklore, language, dictionaries, and authors—with side sections for Galician and Brazilian literature, to guide students and researchers.

The opening of the volume explains that it follows Fitzmaurice-Kelly’s model, was designed to accompany a survey of Portuguese literature, and points readers to complementary bibliographies, while setting editorial conventions (e.g., an asterisk for bibliographical works, an obelisk for items in progress, and “L.” for Lisboa). A detailed table of contents lays out broad sections from General Works through Texts, Anthologies, Folk-lore, Language, Dictionaries, and Authors. The first section then begins with dense, multilingual listings—bibliographies, literary histories, catalogues, journals, and archival tools—spanning Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and English scholarship, and includes sublists for Galician and Brazilian studies. The excerpt proceeds to outline major text series and reprint collections, representative anthologies, and the start of a large folk-lore and popular poetry section, indicating scope and method without commentary beyond concise notes and cross-references.
