Sá de Miranda Com uma carta ácerca da "Bibliographia Camilliana" de Henrique Marques

This volume presents the first truly critical edition of a sixteenth‑century Portuguese poet hailed by his peers as the “Horace and Seneca of Portugal.” Drawing on five previously unseen manuscripts and every printed version that has survived, the editor reconstructs the text with exacting care, accompanied by comprehensive notes, a glossary, and a biographical study that situates the verses within their historical and linguistic milieu. Listeners will hear the poet’s moralist lyricism rendered with clarity, while gaining insight into the customs, language and intellectual currents that shaped his work.

The edition is the product of a decade‑long scholarly effort, a comparative analysis that maps variant readings and restores the poet’s original voice. It also showcases the pioneering contributions of a meticulous female philologist, whose expertise in early Portuguese literature shines through the commentary. By bringing together rigorous textual work and vivid cultural context, this collection invites listeners to explore a pivotal moment in Portugal’s literary renaissance, offering a fresh perspective on a voice that had long been obscured.
