Os títulos dos documentos e das obras diversas publicados nesse período foram catalogados ainda no século XIX. Entretanto, boa parte dos exemplares já havia desaparecido, fazendo com que o método utilizado para identificação dos títulos incluísse os anúncios de jornais. Como também eram anunciadas publicações feitas em Lisboa, havia a dúvida quanto à delimitação das que efetivamente foram editadas na Impressão Régia do Rio de Janeiro. A confusão de locais de impressão levantava a hipótese de uma relação editorial entre a Impressão Régia estabelecida na colônia e sua congênere lisboeta. Tal hipótese foi refutada após investigarmos a casa impressora portuguesa e os títulos de romances nela editados. Concluímos que somente seria possível definir quais foram os romances feitos pela primeira casa impressora oficialmente instalada no Brasil com a localização dos exemplares e a confirmação, pelos dados das folhas de rosto, de que foram impressos no Rio de Janeiro. Por meio de buscas, localizamos quase todos os romances catalogados e delimitamos os que saíram dos prelos da Impressão Régia do Rio de Janeiro. No processo, traçamos a história editorial de cada um deles, verificamos de que maneira eram anunciados pelos livreiros nos jornais e analisamos esses livros do ponto de vista material e textual. Raros e de localização trabalhosa, esses romances são atualmente pouco lembrados ou totalmente desconhecidos. No entanto, têm sua importância nos estudos sobre a circulação de livros no período colonial e em anos posteriores e, certamente, fizeram parte da formação do gosto do público por livros do gênero / Abstract: Among many titles published between 1808 and 1822 by Impressão Régia (Royal Printing) from Rio de Janeiro, this thesis concentrates on the novels. In the 19th century the organization of documents and different works published in such period began. However, a significant part of the copies had already disappeared at that time. So, the method used for identifying the titles included newspaper announcements. As publications made in Lisbon were also announced, there was a doubt regarding the delimitation of the ones which had been effectively published by the Impressão Régia from Rio de Janeiro. The confusion about printing places supported the hypothesis about an editorial relation between the Impressão Régia established in the colony and its congener in Lisbon. Such hypothesis was refuted by us after investigating the Portuguese printing house and the titles of novels published by it. We concluded that it would only be possible to define which novels were published by the first printing house officially established in Brazil by means of the localization of the copies and the confirmation, through the data printed on the title page, that they were printed in Rio de Janeiro. We localized almost every novel which were catalogued and delimited those which originated from the press of Impressão Régia from Rio de Janeiro. During the process, we framed the editorial history of each one of them, verify the way they were announced by the booksellers in the newspapers and analyzed these books from the material and textual points view. Being rare and hard to be located, nowadays, these novels are seldom remembered or totally unknown. Nevertheless, they are important for studies about the circulation of books during the colonial period and the subsequent years, and they definitely played an important part in forming the audience's taste for novel reading / Doutorado / Historia e Historiografia Literaria / Doutor em Teoria e História Literária

This thesis is an examination of the circulation networks and the patterns of collection of Italian printed books in France in the sixteenth century. Although the cultural relations between the Italian and French territory have been studied, a systematic survey to assess the impact of books on the shaping of the French Renaissance has never been attempted. The first section of this study examines the trade routes and networks which facilitated the circulation of Italian printed books across the French territory. Because of the nature of the French early modern book trade, focused primarily on two major centres (Paris and Lyon), a geographical division has been adopted in investigating this phenomenon. Chapter one explores the trade networks existing in sixteenth-century Lyon, from the powerful Compagnie des Libraires to the activity of the libraires italianisants in the second half of the century. Chapter two examines the importance of Italian editions in Paris. Chapter three is devoted to the circulation of Italian books in the provinces and the impact of large regional centres and trade routes on the availability of books locally. Chapter four investigates private networks and their importance in making specific texts available to French readers. The second section of this study investigates the status and importance of Italian printed books within French Renaissance libraries. Chapter five looks into the development of the French Royal library and the role played by Italian items in defining its identity as an institution. Chapter six examines the presence of Italian books in French aristocratic and courtly collections. Chapter seven is devoted to the libraries of the French literary milieu, analysing the extent to which Italian books were cherished as literary exemplars, particularly with regard to vernacular texts. Chapter eight examines the presence of Italian books in professional collections, with particular attention here given to texts in Latin and other scholarly languages imported from Italy. The conclusion draws all of these strands together, looking at the specific role played by Italian culture, through the printed book, on the development of the French Renaissance. A catalogue of about 2,400 Italian printed books with early modern French provenance is included as an appendix volume. This data provides the evidential basis for this study.
