CAMÕES, Luís de.- OS LVSIADAS | DE LVIS DE CAMÔES | PRINCIPE DA POESIA | HEROYCA....- Em Lisboa: Por Vicente Aluarez, 1612.- [2], 186 f.; 19 cm.- E Edition very similar to that of 1609, with which it shares the licenses and the composition of the title page, leading Inocêncio and Juromenha to put forward the thesis that this would be a counterfeit of the former. However, Brito Aranha states and proves that they are distinct, adding: “This edition is quite rare. It is missing from most known Camonian editions”. The first two pages (title and dedication to D. Rodrigo da Cunha), a little shorter. Lightly trimmed copy (carmine edges), with light handling (the paper is of low quality) and some browning; occasional small stains, but overall clean. Good 19th/20th century binding, all sheepskin, with a seed of small flowers and a central floret on both sides (identical), gold-plated panels on the spine, rolls on the squares and on the thickness of the covers, protective case. Ex-libris by Victor d’Avila Perez (lot no. 1077 from the auction held in 1939/40). Inocêncio, V, p. 253 and (Brito Aranha) XIV, p. 48. Palha, 1622. Arouca, C 49. José do Canto does not mention.
