Abstract: Tratamos neste artigo de um importante códice da BGUC, o único rascunho hoje conhecido do catálogo dos manuscritos que pertenceram à Biblioteca Real do Paço da Ribeira, em Lisboa, no tempo de D. João V (reg. 1706-1750). A Biblioteca Real foi destruída no terramoto de 1755. Neste trabalho, examinamos detalhadamente o MS 1 018 dos pontos de vista histórico, codicológico e bibliográfico. Concluímos que foi um trabalho bem coordenado, realizado a quatro mãos, entre 1738 e 1742. Não lográmos identificar os nomes dos bibliotecários individuais que produziram o códice nem a partir dele reconstituir a organização/topografia da Biblioteca. Sabe-se que o volume veio para a biblioteca da Academia Liturgica Conimbricense (1747-1767), sediada no Mosteiro de Santa Cruz, mas necessitaremos de investigação adicional para perceber quando e porquê.
This manuscript, preserved in the General Library of the University of Coimbra, is significant for being the only catalogue which has been traced to date of the collection of manuscripts in the magnificent Royal Library of the Paço da Ribeira in Lisbon, created by the Braganza monarch Dom João V (reg. 1706-1750). The library sited on the lower piano nobile of the “Torreão”, was destroyed in the earthquake of 1755. The article examines the history and content of this important document, as well as giving a detailed technical analysis. We have concluded that MS 1 018 was compiled between around 1738 and 1742 by four different hands according to a well co-ordinated system. We have not been able to identify the individual royal librarians who were involved in writing the entries, nor to use the system they devised to re-construct the overall organisation of the Royal Library. The manuscript is known to have entered the library of the Academia Liturgica Conimbricense (1747-1767), housed at the monastery of Santa Cruz, but further research is still needed to clarify when and why this happened.
