Aspectos codicológicos e paleográficos em manuscritos do início do século XIX

Abstract

In this work we deal with a codex made up of documents that record cultural practices of colonial society, specifically from Sobral village, located in the north of the old captaincy of Ceará. The documents belong to the genre Notice, whose texts are genuine sources that testify, besides the cultural practices, the use of the Portuguese language in the early nineteenth century and are gathered in the codex Arrematações de Auzentes by Sobral Village, belonging to the Public Archives of the State of Ceará (APEC). We made a codicological analysis, with emphasis on the conservation status of its physical aspects observing among other things the damage due to weathering, as well as a brief paleographic analysis, considering grapheme, some spelling aspects and abbreviations, elements considered very common at that time. The auction notices are being edited by semidiplomatic model. The study aims to contribute to the rescue and preservation of documental memory of society and especially to the textual criticism studies in the state of Ceará.
