LUCANO [Marcus Annaeus Lucanus].- La hystoria | que escriuio en latin el poe- | ta Lucano: trasladada e[m] | castellano por Marti[n] | Lasso de Oropesa | secretario dela ex | celle[n]te señora | marquesa d’l | zenete cõ | dessa de Nassou.- En Lisbona: por Luys Rodriguez, 1541.- [10], cliiij f.; 20 cm.- E., Marcus Annaeus Lucanus (39-65), Roman poet, born in Cordoba (Betic Hispania); despite his short life, he left us an extensive work, from which we only have the present text, known as Pharsalia, reporting the civil war between the supporters of Julius Caesar and those of Pompey the Great. Lucan would later participate in the failed conspiracy against the Emperor Nero, with whom he was a close friend, having been arrested and driven to suicide. The Spanish translation is by Fr. Martin Lasso (1499-1564), Spanish humanist, born in Oropesa (Toledo), secretary to D. Mencía de Mendoza, Duchess of Calabria, Marquise of Cenete and Countess of Nassou. Title printed in black and red, framed in a xilography engraving with Renaissance and architectural elements. The text is entirely composed in Gothic characters. On the back of the last page, an extensive colophon: “Aqui se acaban los diez libros de las guerras civiles que compuso en verso heroyco el famoso poeta Lucano [...]. Imprimieronse en la insigne ciudad de Lisbona a xx de mayo de mil y quiñientos e quarente y uno años: por Luys Rodriguez librero del Rey nosso señor” Title page with two old ownerships: one on the front (fray Ju[an] de Miravilla), another on the back (illegible). Small marginal stain on the first and last leaves; minor marginal restoration on folio lxxxi; occasional minor blemishes. Otherwise, an example with slight browning, but clean. Binding of the period, full flexible parchment (recovered?), with part of the ties missing. BN (16th century), 435. Library of King D. Manuel II, 260.

MACHADO, Simão, O.F.M.- COMEDIAS | PORTVGVESAS. | Feitas pello excellente Poeta, | Symão Machado. | Comedias do Cerco de Dio. | primeira, & segunda parte. | Comedias da Pastora Alfea. | primeira, & segunda parte. | Nesta vltima impressaõ, enmendadas, & acrescenta- | das, dous Entremeses, & quatro Loas famosas.- Em Lisboa: Por Antonio Aluarez. Anno de 1631.- [2], 94, [12] f.; 19 cm.- E., Apparently it is an unusual variant of the second printing, with the same date, of the comedies by Simão Machado (f. 1601-1640), a Franciscan religious, of whom little is known, who used, as a rule, the name of Fr. Bonaventura Machado. In fact, the title page does not correspond to the description by Inocêncio (I, p. 388 and VIII, p. 403) which indicates “Nesta segunda impressão...”, nor to the copy of the Samodães catalogue (1921), which reproduces a different frontispiece. The collation is also slightly different from those indicated in these two references, as it only includes two preliminary sheets. In the variants with the indication “Second impression” there are three preliminary sheets, the second integrating a dedication to D. Francisco de Sá de Meneses, Count of Penaguião. But the copy corresponds exactly to the description of the copy of the BNP. The addressee is also mentioned on the frontispiece of the reproduction of Samodães. However, this dedication disappears, both on the preliminary pages and on the title page of the present variant. Copy slightly cropped, with slight browning and occasional minor blemishes. Marginal restoration on the last leaf; two small amendments with ferrogallic paint, causing browning (f. F6 and H2). Title page with two small patched faults (± 28x21 mm), probably to remove stamps from the Livraria de Alcobaça (one still preserved on the front of the second folio). Ex-libris by Aníbal Fernandes Tomás (but not mentioned in his bookstore catalogue). Binding of the period, entirely flecked sheepskin, slightly worn, retaining the original endpapers on plain paper. Straw, 1236. Arouca, M 58.

MIRANDA, Francisco de Sá de.- AS OBRAS | DO CELEBRADO | LVSITANO, | O doutor Frãcisco de Sá de Mirãda. | Collegidas por Manoel de Lyra. | Dirigidas ao muito illustre Senhor dom Ie- | ronymo de Castro, &c. | [gravura xilográfica com as armas de D. Jerónimo de Castro] | Impressas com licença do Supremo Conselho da Santa | Geral Inquisição, & Ordinario. | Anno de 1595. | Com priuilegio Real por dez annos.- [Lisboa]: Manoel de Lyra, 1595.- [8], 186 [i é 184], [3] f.; 18 cm.- E., Original edition of the works of Sá de Miranda (1481-1558), considered the greatest Portuguese poet of the 16th century, right after Camões, and perhaps the one who most echoed Renaissance ideas to us, with the introduction of new literary forms being significant, namely prose comedy, the new meter, the sonnet, the eclogue, etc. The edition was published posthumously, nearly 30 years after the author's death. The copy corresponds to the collation indicated by Anselmo: the title page (blank verso) bears the coat of arms of D. Jerónimo de Castro, in copperplate printing; there is a folio with the licenses (f.) and the permit (v.); the following sheet includes the dedication (f.), two poems, a sonnet by Jerónimo de Morais and a “carmen” by Sebastião Alfaro (v.); the fourth folio contains a sonnet by D. Manuel de Portugal (f.) and the imprint of the printer Manuel de Lyra (v.) which is repeated on folio 162 (X2 v.). The text itself runs between sheets 1 and 186 (with numerous foliation errors), that is, between folios A1f. and Z8v; on the back of sheet 132 another mark of the printer Manuel de Lira, different from the one described above. At the end we find two folios (¶1 and ¶2) with the “Taboa (or Tavoada) das Rhimas do Autor”, which occupies four pages; there follows a folio such as “¶Auto de approuação these works” (f.) and the errata (v.), with the last blank folio that should complete the section missing from the copy. Copy slightly trimmed, but clean, possibly washed, with the gilt edges. Ex-libris by Walter Corrêa da Sá e Benevides. 20th century binding, full morocco, signed "Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, London"; squared double fillet with florets in the corners, on the squares, gold closed panels on the spine, roll on the squares and double fillet in the thickness of the folders (protection case). Anselmo, 764. BN (16th century), 500. King D. Manuel II Library, 294.
