Abstract:
Luís de Camões is possibly the greatest author of the Portuguese language, its most paradigmatic author. The author of the epic «Os Lusíadas» may be compared to Shakespeare or to Cervantes. He became a landmark in the field of literary epics. The work «Os Lusíadas» was published in 1572 with the permission of both King Dom Sebastião and the Inquisition. Both the printing privilege and the authorisation of the Inquisition are present in the first edition of the work. Abstract by Victor Drummond & Translation by Patricia Akester
