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).
