The famous Piscos edition, considered by experts, booksellers and collectors as the rarest of all The Lusiads editions. Trimmed copy (without affecting text), with some minor imperfections. Recent binding, with mosaic and intertwined decoration of Grolierian inspiration, probably executed in the workshop of the prestigious Lisbon bookbinder Império Graça. Painted (carmine) and waxed edges. Protection case with Christ’s Cross and Renaissance motifs, presenting at the center of both sides the printer's mark, identical to the one printed on the title.
