The author was "incontestably the greatest Portuguese bibliographer. His Bibliotheca lusitana forms the basis of all Portuguese bibliography . The confidence with which he wrote and the exactitude of the biographical facts make these four folios an indispensable reference work even today" (Borba de Moraes [1983] II, 969). Because it covers Portuguese authors writing in Portuguese or any other language (especially Latin and Spanish), the Bibliotheca lusitana is not superseded by Innocêncio, who deals mainly with works in Portuguese. *** Breslauer and Folter 100 (for the original edition).
