Death in Portugal

Unclear how much of this can be trusted. There's few (if any) citations; some nonsensical assertions presented as fact (such as the easily-disprovel assertion that the Diocese of Braga was created in 37 AD) do not exactly lend credence to the rest of the text, nor do a few rather faulty translations. There are many, many typos.

Furthermore, only three of the essays in this text are actually *about* Death in Portugal; I am excluding the fourth because it's an only vaguely related tangent on the presence of Portuguese studies at Oxford, including the holdings of Oxford's Bodley Library.

The only essay worth much of anything is that of the editors João de Pina-Cabral and Rui Feijó, titled "Conflicting Attitudes to Death in Modern Portugal: The Question of Cemeteries," if only for its rather expansive discussion on the intersection of law and common practice.
