About This Item
, , Signed at Lisbon, 23 January 1746.. Folio (36 x 24.9 cm.), stitched; outside blanks (somewhat soiled) serve as wrappers. Written in ink, in a large, legible hand. First (blank) leaf detached; internally fine. Overall in very good condition. 8 leaves, with 9 pp. of text. *** Records the expenses incurred by D. José de Menezes during his trip to Vienna in 1743 to marry D. Luiza Gonzaga, Countess of Rappach. Travel expenses are listed as well as expenditures for a portrait of himself and (among other items) for diamonds, furniture, cloth, tailors, silverware, plates and chocolate. The entries vary in quality; some include names of sellers. The sellers are more likely agents and middlemen than the actual purveyors of the products; on p. 8 are mentioned Avram and David Fernandes Nunes in Holland, almost surely exiled Portuguese Jews. A David Fernandes Nunes is mentioned as an Amsterdam banker in documents cited by Biblioteca Nacional de Lisboa, Inventário: secção XIII, manuscriptos, as is an Aron Fernandes Nunes. The present document is signed at the end by D. Diogo de Menezes y Tavora and Francisco de Mello.The Menezes family had close ties with Austria. D. José's father, D. Diogo de Menezes e Tavora (Morgado de Valada na Ordem de Cristo, Alcaide-mor de Silves, Vedor da Casa da Rainha D. Maria Ana and her Estribeiro-mor) married an Austrian lady-in-waiting of D. João V's queen, D. Maria Anna of Austria. D. José was the second child and eldest son, born in 1713. When he returned to Portugal after his wedding, his wife became a lady-in-waiting to the queen.*** On the Menezes family, see Sousa, História genealógica da casa real portuguesa XI, 138-41.
