:: Practical observations
Where quotations in languages other than 
English are required, authors are asked to provide
a translation into English 
in the main text or in a note. The use of original Portuguese terms 

(e.g. regimento, corregedor, sesmarias) is permitted whenever they have been 
explained to English readers.
In these cases, a gloss may be added. Glosses should be set enclosed in parentheses.
Use italics (not boldface type) to show emphasis in text. Do not use italics in place of quotation marks.
Because this is primarily an online publication, hyperlinks may be included in the text.
Titles of persons are capitalized only when preceding and used in conjunction with the name of a person
(e.g. King Manuel I, and the king of Portugal).
Terms referring to governments and other military or organizational bodies may be capitalized
only when referring to one specific body in a context where only that body is meant
(e.g. Old Regime or Council of Regents).Spell out ordinal numbers (e.g. the seventeenth century,
and NOT the 17th century).
