CAMÕES, Luís de.- RIMAS | DE LVIS DE | CAMÕES. | ACRESCENTADAS NESTA | Terceyra impressão. | Dirigidas a Inclyta Vniuersidade | de Coimbra. | [gravura xilográfica com a esfera armilar] | Impressas com licença da Sancta Inquisição.- Em Lisboa: Por Pedro Crasbeeck. A custa de Domingos Fernandez mercador de libros. Com Priuilegio. Anno 1607.- [8], 102 [aliás 202], [5] f.; 18 cm.- E. One of the three known variants of the third edition of the Rimes and, probably, the first to come off the press by Pedro Craesbeeck. The present one, with an armillary sphere in the engraving of the title page, corresponds approximately to the description of the copy by José do Canto (Camoneana, 14), but presents the typographical error SENETO I. on page 1 (f. A1), still to be corrected. On the other hand, the numbering of the last leaf (202) was corrected, since there are copies with errors in the foliation (102 by 202). The other two variants feature the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal in the title page engraving. In fact, the three variants also show significant compositional differences that are not constant from specimen to specimen. Therefore, serious bibliographic problems arise, as can be seen from the detailed descriptions of Tito de Noronha (Anuário da Sociedade Nacional Camoneana), José do Canto (14) and Brito Aranha (Inocêncio, 11) which also do not coincide. Copy slightly cropped and with slight browning, preserving the rare last blank sheet (c8) that completes the section c. Remote provenance: Ex-libris Marchionis Salsiae (Francesco Maria Berio 1765-1820, Marchese di Salza); a second ex-libris, on the back cover, with the motto: Comme Je Fus (William Ward, viscount Dudley, 1750-1823). The copy also has a small handwritten note in pencil by London bookseller Bernard Quarith, with the indication Perfect. A good contemporary binding, fully made of rigid parchment, with the original endpapers on plain paper. Inocêncio, XIV, p. 40/43. Palha, 1619. Arouca, C 66 (describes only the second variant).
