He has produced works of great importance, with depth and originality, in many books and hundreds of articles published in the most prestigious scientific and cultural journals, and in communications delivered in the most demanding international areopades.

The initiative for the publication of this work in memoriam belonged to the Center for the Study of History and Ancient Cartography (of the Institute for Scientific and Tropical Research) of which Teixeira da Mota was director, an initiative readily supported by the Academia de Marinha, whose foundation was strongly supported by him having also been its second president.

A posthumous tribute that, despite its simplicity, is quite significant for the quality of the works that are part of it and for the scientific brilliance of its authors. Homage that, coming from all over the world, sublimating the memory of this wise sailor, honors Portugal.
