His bibliographic production in the years after he took up his teaching duties was extensive , and mostly also its subsidiary, both in the areas covered and in the form it took. In fact, a series of textbooks written by him appeared in print from at least 1896, the year of the publication of História antiga dos povos orientates [ Ancient history of the oriental peoples ] . That work, which reached its third edition in 1904, is part of a set of didactic texts that served his professional activity and revealed some of the traits that also characterised the style of his historiography: the erudite nature, based on extensive bibliographic knowledge, the painstaking thoroughness and the detail in establishing the facts served the clarity and robustness of the overviews. They are , therefore , a set of traits that make him stand out , particularly as an author of reliable scientific dissemination, and definitely contributed to his impact, also seen in the many editions printed – f or this reason, rather than for his interpretative originality or the raising of new analytical hypotheses. This is consistent with the historiographical scope he embraced, prioritising the establishment of facts supported by documentary evidence, where hermeneutic work is secondary. In addition to the aforementioned work, he wrote Historia antiga da Grecia e de Roma [ Ancient history of Greece and Rome] (the date of the 1 st edition is unknown , the 2 nd was published in 1897 , and the 6 th in 1904) and Historia da Edade Média, Moderna e Contemporanea [Textbook of the Middle, Modern and Contemporary Ages] (1898, 4 th edition in 1905). His Curso de História de Portugal [Manual of Portuguese History ] was published for the first time in 1899 and reached its 10 th edition in 1945. The Curso de História Universal [ Textbook in Universal History] and the Curso de Geografia Física e Política [Textbook of Physical and Political Geography] were also widely disseminated. No references were found for the earliest editions of either, but it is known that the former reached its 6 th edition in 1925. As for the aforementioned G eography textbook, it had its 2 nd edition in 1910 and reached its 13 th edition in 1927. The case of História das Instituições em Portugal [ History of Institutions in Portugal ] (1900) is paradigmatic of the impact of such publications, as well as their adaptation to the didactic standards of the time: the 2 nd edition, dated 1903, came out with the seal of official approval for secondary school studies .
