Seguido de reprodução fac-similar e da leitura diplomática do manuscrito autógrafo. Preparado pelo Prof. Sílvio Batista Pereira. s.l.: Instituto Nacional do Livro & Ministério da Educação e Cultura, 1964. XX, 180 pp.: il.; 230 mm. This work constitutes a lexicographical tool on the Letter of Pero Vaz de Caminha (1500), the most celebrated document in the history of Brazil, written by the scribe of Pedro Álvares Cabral's fleet after landing in Porto Seguro. The Letter , preserved in the National Archives of Torre do Tombo, is both the first written testimony about Brazilian territory and a document of considerable linguistic interest, written in late medieval Portuguese that documents the transition from archaic to modern Portuguese. The vocabulary systematically analyzes the lexicon of the document, paying attention to archaic forms, graphic variants, and the morphology of the original text. The volume also includes facsimile reproductions of the autograph manuscript and its respective diplomatic reading. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
