CAMÕES, Luís de.- OS LVSIADAS | DE LVIS DE CAMOENS | PRINCIPE DA POESIA | HEROICA. | Dedicados ao D. Rodrigo da Cunha, Deputado do S. Officio.- Em Lisboa: Por Pedro Crasbeck, 1609.- [2], 186 f.; 18 cm.- E. First edition of the 17th century, published in Portugal, almost entirely in italic characters; there is news of another edition from 1607, but no copy is known, so its existence has not been proven. There is also a variant, with the same date, with the stanzas numbered in the press. The title page includes a xylography representing the coat of arms of the dedicatee, D. Rodrigo da Cunha (1577-1643), deputy of the Holy Office, who became archbishop of Braga and Lisbon. Copy slightly handled and with some wormholes, mostly marginal (restored on pages 1 to 19); small central wormhole (affecting some letters) on leaves 67 to 73; Irregular outer margin on first 20 leaves. It is, however, complete. Ex-libris of António Cupertino de Miranda. Contemporary binding, fully flexible parchment, a little worn (with new endpapers), retaining all the ties. Inocêncio, XIV, p. 45, nº 14. José do Canto, 16. Arouca, C 47.
