A line of Edited Volumes was approved and phased in by Baywolf Press and the Lusophone Studies Association during our 2017 conference at Trent University. The move was designed to relieve scheduling pressures from a high rate of submissions to the journal and by the simultaneous rise in the number of volumes for which publishing slots are being reserved by participating editors and/or conference organizers. The Edited Volumes series accommodates multiauthor works and collections of papers that cannot be added as out-of-series extras to the standard two annual issues and that also clearly do not fit the PSR Monographs series. Items in the Edited Volumes series are assigned a regular ISBN number (from our reserved block). They are produced as monographs and are distributed in the same manner as monographs. Our most recent volumes in this series are: Encounters in Borderlands: Portugal, Ceuta, and the 'Other Shore', edited by Martin Malcolm Elbl (Toronto and Peterborough: Baywolf Press / Éditions Baywolf, 2019), 358 + xvi pages; ills. and maps; 9" x 6"; list price: $ 34.75 CAD ; ISBN 978-0-921437-56-7 (soft-cover).  As Minas Gerais do Brasil: economia, ciência e cultura nos séculos XVIII e XIX, edited by Rafael de Freitas, Sirleia Maria Arantes, and Weder Ferreira Silva (Toronto and Peterborough: Baywolf Press / Éditions Baywolf, 2019), 334 + xxii pages; ills. and maps; 9" x 6"; list price: $ 32.30 CAD; ISBN 978-0-921437-57-4 (soft-cover). Rivers and Shores: 'Fluviality' and the Occupation of Colonial Amazonia, edited by Rafael Chambouleyron and Luís Costa e Sousa (Toronto and Peterborough: Baywolf Press / Éditions Baywolf, 2019), 190 + xiv pages; ills. and maps; 9" x 6"; list price: $ 27.20 CAD; ISBN 978-0-921437-59-8 (soft-cover).

ASPHS, TORONTO, April 23-25, 2020 (Postponed and Rescheduled to 2021) (COVID-19 Crisis) Dear Colleagues, After a number of discussions between the Board and the hosts at York University over the last few weeks, and taking into account the severity of the situation, ASPHS regretfully has decided to postpone our upcoming April meeting in Toronto. We did not take this action lightly. Having received a number of cancellations already due to coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, we simply determined that the risks outweighed the gains. Therefore, we will push back our meeting one year and come together in Toronto in April 2021. All registered participants will be able to receive a full refund -- please get in touch with Jodi Campbell at j.campbell@tcu.edu for more information. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Scott Eastman President, Association for Spanish and Portuguese Historical Studies |

Featured Exhibitions and Festas -- (Past) Pre-COVID19 Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664), Frei Pedro Machado Guest item on loan, exhibited at the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, Lisbon, 19 September 2019 to 20 January 2020, Level 1/Room 60. The painting showed Frei Pedro Machado (?-1609), a famous theologian from the Mercedarian convent at Burgos, whose monks devoted themselves to the rescue and ransoming of captives. The item originally came from the library of the Convento de La Merced in Seville and formed part of a series of eleven paintings completed around 1630. Five pieces from this series were confiscated by Manuel Godoy in 1802, during the Napoleonic invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, and then passed into the holdings of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in 1816. |

Curator: Rui André Alves Trindade The items included in this exhibit illustrated the influence of 16th- and 17th-century Ming porcelain on Portuguese ceramic production (1559-1687), and highlighted the role of Lisbon as a gateway for Oriental manufactures and a rising noted producer of faience items. The exhibit was sourced from the collections of the Palácio de Santos, the Embassy of France in Portugal, and ranges from ceramics to lacquerwork and silks, which all together fostered Europe's consumer taste for Eastern motifs and designs and the corresponding rise of derivative applied art. |

A Cidade Global: Lisboa no Renascimento / The Global City: Lisbon in the Renaissance The Museu Nacional da Arte Antiga, Lisbon, opened on 23 February 2017 the exhibition "A Cidade Global: Lisboa no Renascimento / The Global City: Lisbon in the Renaissance," curated by Annemarie Jordan Gschwend and Kate J. P. Lowe. The display ran from 24 February 2017 to 9 April 2017. Please follow this >> link << to the venue's original press release, in PDF format. A voyage into the past, "The Global City: Lisbon in the Renaissance" was a museological venture offering a unique point of entry into the street-level atmosphere and material culture of a Lisbon that had been forever altered by the devastating earthquake of 1755 and thus no longer is experientially available as a coherent entitiy to any visitor. The portal through which the exhibit drew the viewer, on multiple levels, into the scenery of a pre-1755 global metropolis were the recently identified sixteenth-century vistas of the Rua Nova dos Mercadores (The New Street of the Merchants), purchased in 1866 by Dante Gabriel Rosetti, preserved at Kelmscott Manor and owned by the Society of Antiquaries of London. For additional information, follow this link >>. You can check out the story of the exhibit's making and get a limited retrospective in the video documentary linked here ... If you travel to Portugal, please reserve some time to visit the collections of the Museu Nacional da Arte Antiga, and then perhaps take time to amble through all the parts of Lisbon that were featured in various publications connected with the "Global City" exhibit -- immerse yourself in the atmosphere. |

Paul Holberton Publishing The Global City: On the Streets of Renaissance Lisbon, edited by Annemarie Jordan Gschwend and K. J. P. Lowe (Paul Holberton Publishing: London, 2015; ISBN 9781907372889; 240 pp.) draws us into the past sensory universe of a Lisbon pre-dating the sudden seismic shock of 1755. It does so from the starting point of two large-scale sixteenth-century vistas by an anonymous Flemish master that depict the Rua Nova dos Mercadores commercial and financial thoroughfare. Acquired in 1866 by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the vistas contribute a unique spatio-temporal window into the past, at street level, bustling with the stark contradictions and contrasts of a global metropolis. The volume conjoins the two works of art with a wealth of data from newly found or suitably valorized archival documents, accompanied by a carefully selected display of little known or unpublished images of contemporary trade staples, curiosities, luxury and prestige items, naturalia, exotica, and other objects. A physical expression of the worldwide tangle of commerce, the Rua Nova as an architectural construct symbolically echoed the estuary of the river Tagus as a natural feature opening out to the Atlantic and to the oceans far beyond. The book Iets readers glimpse Lisbon and its material culture in all the vibrant cosmopolitanism characterizing this major trading hub of the Renaissance world, a hub whose essence and texture were to be forever altered by one of the planet's iconic natural cataclysms – an earthquake and a tsunami – on Saturday, 1 November 1755, the holiday of All Saints' Day.
