BARROS, João de; COUTO, Diogo do.- Da Asia de João de Barros e Diogo de Couto.- Nova edição.- Lisboa: Na Regia Officina Typografica, 1778-1788.- 24 vols: il.; 16 cm.- E. Complete set of the beautiful edition of the Decadas printed at the Oficina Régia. The four "Decades" by João de Barros are part of the first eight volumes, followed by a general index (and biography) and illustrated with three portraits (author, Prince Henry and Afonso de Albuquerque) and five folding maps; also the remaining nine decades of Diogo do Couto, illustrated only with his portrait, are presented in 14 volumes plus the respective index. In 1808, António Lourenço Caminha published a volume with unpublished works by Diogo do Couto, which this collection does not include. It should be noted that the Tenth Decade is now printed for the first time. Very clean set, with all portraits and maps, covered in 19th century bindings, full sheepskin, with mottled patina with smooth spines. Inocêncio, III, p. 322 and II, p. 154.
