First edition in Portuguese; a second edition appeared in Lisbon in 1841. Jean Girard,
professor of anatomy at the royal veterinary school at Alfort, first published this study on
determining ages of domesticated animals through examination of their teeth and horns
in 1824, in the Recueil de médecine vétérinaire. This translation by the celebrated Portuguese
veterinarian João Januario Vianna de Rezende has been considerably augmented with
new material. Vianna de Rezende was born in Lisbon, earned his medical degree at Paris,
and served as chief physician in Angola. He published several other works on veterinary
medicine and edited the short-lived Jornal de medicina veterinaria (1828) and Jornal medico,
cirurgico e pharmaceutico de Lisboa (1835).
