Speeches / Discursos

In order not to make the Bibliography article too extensive, we have reserved this space for the quick enumeration of several published speeches by individuals native to this archipelago, or whose subject may in any way be of interest to the history of these islands. Although very incomplete, this list can serve as a resource for the study of Madeiran bibliography. The various types of speeches that we were able to find information about are indicated here without regard to the selection of subjects or even chronological order. They are:
