CAMÕES, Luís de.- OS LVSIADAS | DE LVIS DE CAMÕES. | ¶ Agora de nouo impresso, com algu[m]as Annota- | ções, de diuersos Autores. [gravura xilográfica com a marca do impressor] | ¶ Com licença do Supremo Conselho da Sancta | & Geral [In]quisição...- Em Lisboa: Por Manoel de Lyra, 1584.- [12], 280 f.; 12 cm.- E.
This is the famous Piscos edition, considered by experts, booksellers and collectors as the rarest of all editions of “Os Lusíadas”. According to some investigators, it is probably the true second edition, refering one of the two editions dated 1572 to a date not before 1584. The explanation of the unusual denomination is as follows: on page 76 (f.), in the first two verses of stanza 65, in song III, wrongly numbered 47, the Poet, when celebrating the victories of King D. Afonso Henriques, writes: “Com estas sojugada foy Palmella, | E a piscosa Cizimbra...” which, at the foot of the same page, the commentator’s note, explains: “Chama piscosa, porq[ue] em certo te[m]po se ajunta ali gra[n]de ca[n]tidade de piscos (birds), pera se passare[m] a Affrica”. Copy slightly cropped (without affecting the text), with old ownership (unreadable) between the first two lines of the title page (with very light stains). Otherwise, a very clean example, with gilt edges (old). Modern pencil inscription on external free endpaper: Purchased by (unreadable) A. Henriques de Oliveira from Francisco Cordeiro de Sousa. Recent binding, full flexible parchment. Anselmo, 738. Biblioteca Nacional (16th Century), 117. José do Canto, 8. Biblioteca D. Manuel II, 83.

MANUEL I, D. (Rei de Portugal).- EPISTOLA | Potentissimi ac inuictissimi Ema | nuelis Regis portugaliæ & Algarbiorum, | &c. De Victoriis habitis in India | & Malacha. Ad . S . in Christo Patrem & | Dñm nostrum Dñm Leonem . X. | Pont. Maximum. | [gravura xilográfica com as armas de Portugal].- Romæ: impressa per Iacobum Mazochium, [9 de Agosto do] 1513.- [6] f.; 21 cm.- E.
Very rare original edition of an important letter addressed by King D. Manuel I to Pope Leo proudly announcing the recent successes of Afonso de Albuquerque (1453-1515) in India and the East Indies, with particular emphasis on the conquest of Malacca in 1511. The small leaflet consists of a single section with six leaves (A6 signatures), with 11 printed pages (the last one blank) and the following colophon at the end: Romæ printed per Iacobum Mazochium .9. Augusti. A second edition of this same epistle was published in Vienna, Austria, on September 16th (just 36 days after the first), by the printers Hieronymus Vietor & Johannes Singriener. The copy, slightly cropped, but very clean, has a small central flaw on the title page, repaired on the back, without loss of support; the same flaw, with less extension, is repeated in the next leaf. Full blue morocco binding, probably from the 20th century, signed: Bound by Zaehnsdorf. London. England. (workshop active between 1842 and 1947). Covers with triple square fillet and the Manueline coat of arms, in the centre, gold engraved; gold stipple on the thickness of the boards and gilt edges. The rear board has a pocket, possibly for storing a document, but it is empty. We are not aware of the existence of any copy in mainland Portuguese libraries (public or private), having only found two copies of the same edition in the Public Library and Regional Archive of Ponta Delgada (quotas: Safe 110 RES and JC/ AR.2 A/390 RES), the second of which belongs to the José do Canto Collection. Library of Congress (for the only copy referenced outside Portugal), DP605. M357 1513.

SANTA TERESA, Frei João José de, O.C.D.- ISTORIA | DELLE GVERRE | DEL | REGNO DEL BRASILE | ACCADVTE | TRA LA CORONA DI PORTOGALLO, | E | LA REPVBLICA DI OLANDA. | COMPOSTA, ED OFFERTA | ALLA SAGRA REALE MAESD’A DI | PIETRO SECONDO | RE DI POTIGALLO &c. | Dal P. F. Gio: Gioseppe di S. Teresa Carmelitano Scalzo. PARTE PRIMA. [PARTE SECONDA].- In Roma: Nella Stamperia di Antonio de Rossi, 1698- 2 partes em 1 vol.: il.; 29 cm.- E.
Fr. João José de Santa Teresa (1658- ca. 1733), whose secular name was João de Noronha Freire, was born in Lisbon and left for Rome in 1678, where he joined the Order of Discalced Carmelites. The work, subsidized with 5,000 Cruzados by King D. Pedro II of Portugal, describes the conflicts that occurred in Brazil in the 17th century, until the end of the Dutch occupation of the Northeast, which had its epilogue with the Pernambuco Insurrection (1654). Borba de Moraes considers it «One of the most sumptuous works published in the seventeenth century on a Brazilian subject». The copy, treated and carefully washed and glued, but complete and very clean, retains the two original cover pages (one on each part), dated 1698. The publisher and printer Antonio de Rossi had a new cover made in 1700, which he began to insert into the still existing copies. The collation of each of the parts is as follows: Part prima - [12], 232, [16] p.: 1 allegorical frontispiece, portrait of King D. Pedro II and 15 engravings and unfolded maps; Part two - 211, [21] p.: portrait of King D. João IV and 8 engravings and unfolded maps. Slight cropping, but still maintaining good margins; the engravings, with occasional restorations to the folds, are all mounted on stubs and well folded. Recent binding, full shagreen, signed by master Império Graça, with gold decoration on the covers, closed gold panles on the spine and protective case. Barbosa Machado, II, p. 676. Palha, 4267. Ameal, 2133. Sabin, 76794. Borba de Moraes, 770.
