[FREIRE (Anselmo Braamcamp)]. GIL Vicente Poeta e Ourives. Notas. [Lisboa], s.d. - FREIRE (Anselmo Braamcamp) GIL Vicente Poeta e Ourives . Novas notas de Anselmo Braamcamp Freire. Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1914. 20 pp.; 240 mm. First edition. Anselmo Braamcamp Freire's contribution to one of the most debated questions in Portuguese literary history: the identity between Gil Vicente, the playwright, and Gil Vicente, the goldsmith who authored the Custody of Belém (1506) and was master of the scales at the Mint. Based on archival documentation, the author gathers new elements in favor of the thesis of the identity of the two figures, which he would later defend in detail in his major work on the poet, Life and Works of Gil Vicente, Troubadour, Master of the Scales . A small booklet of interest to the bibliography of Gil Vicente's works and to the history of the controversy that occupied the main Portuguese scholars of the early 20th century.
