Abstract

One of the main characteristics of learned sociabilities in the 18th Century was the production and circulation of books transmitting news, scientific discoveries, voyage narratives to exotic lands and philosophical polemical debates around disciplinary paradigms. This paper will try to see how the presence of books in 18th Century Portugal was perceived and represented by foreign travellers.
