Borda d'Água is a Portuguese almanac published annually since 1929 by Editorial Minerva. The publication continues to be printed in a traditional typography and has maintained the same editorial line since its founding.[3][4][5][6] The almanac presents itself as a "useful resource for everyone." The almanac offers forecasts for the year, practical advice based on popular wisdom (proverbs, folk remedies, etc.), science, and astrology; weather forecasts, agricultural forecasts, sowing seasons and other agricultural work, moon phases, information about the sea and tides, a calendar, and ephemerides.[7][8][9][10]
Description
In 1986, Miguel Esteves Cardoso described Borda d'Água as: "With a print run of 50,000 copies, sold at the attractive price of 30$00, the 'Borda d'Água' Almanac is a Portuguese institution that legitimately describes itself as a 'useful resource for everyone'. It consists of 16 pages full of information without which it is unimaginable to survive."[11]
