Historia Natural da Ilha da Santa Catarina: o codice de Antonio José de Freitas Noronha. 2017.illus. 110 p. Paper bd. - In Portuguese.

Antônio José de Freitas Noronha (1744-1814), a native of Rmadeira, arrived in the village of Nossa Senhora do Desterro on the island of Santa Catarina at the age of seven, in 1751. Fifty years later, now as Captain of the Line Regiment, he received orders from the then Governor to produce a study on the local flora, at a time when Brazilian botany was taking its first steps. This resulted in watercolours of fruit plants, many now extinct, with their names and notes. However, this precious and surprising work was never published, remaining practically a hidden treasure, and now, two centuries later, with this publication, it has been transformed into a unique book.
