Tall 12�, original illustrated wrappers, stapled. In very good condition. (24 ll.) *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this catalogue for an exhibition held at the Museu de Etnologia, with the collaboration of Victor Bandeira, from November 1987 to August 1988. Oliveira provides an introduction of 3 pp., which is followed by a text of 4 pp. by Cinatti, "Brev�ssimo tratado da Prov�ncia de Timor" which had originally appeared in the Revista Shell, n.� 346, September 1963. The captions for the catalogue was prepared by Maria Celeste Costa Paiva.Born in London, Cinatti (1915-1986), poet, agronomist, and anthropologist, studied agronomy and meteorology in Lisbon at the Universidade T�cnica, and went on to study social anthropology at Oxford University before entering Portuguese government service, first in Timor and later in Lisbon. He spent a good part of his life in Timor, and also lived in S�o Tom� e Pr�ncipe, writing about both places in his poems and scientific works. During his active and distinguished literary career, he was founder and co-director of Cadernos de Poesia, which also published his N�s n�o somos d�ste mundo as well as works by other aspiring poets, founder and editor of the literary review Aventura (1942-44), and author of several later poetry collections. His literary work departs from that of the Presencistas, displaying a marked affinity for the styles and themes of the nineteenth-century Romantic poets.*** On the important poet Ruy Cinatti, see Lourinda Bom in Machado, ed., Dicion�rio de literatura portuguesa, pp. 128-9.
