8°, original plain wrappers with dust jacket (small nick at head of spine; tiny dab of white paint on front cover). In very good condition. Four-line ink manuscript presentation inscription on initial blank leaf recto to Albino Forjaz de Sampaio, date illegible, signed "Affonso LV" 165 pp. (2 ll., 1 blank l.). *** FIRST EDITION. A second edition appeared in 1967; a third in 1983. Lopes Vieira's earliest published works were written as a student at Coimbra, 1897-1900, e.g. Para quê?, 1897, and Náufrago, 1898. From this melancholy phase he passed into a nationalistic one, in which he publicized early Portuguese literature, aiming to "reaportuguesar Portugal tornando-o europeau." During this period he helped prepare an edition of Camões (1928) and edited Montemayor's Diana, the Amadis, and Rodrigues Lobo. His Portuguese translation of the Poema do Cid was published in the periodical Lusitânia, of which Lopes Vieira served as secretary. He also wrote essays and fiction, as well as works for children, e.g., Animais nossos amigos, 1911 and Canto infantil, 1912.Provenance: Albino Maria Pereira Forjaz de Sampaio (1884-1949) was a member of the Academia das Sciências de Lisboa. He wrote and edited a large number of books; among the most noteworthy are the 4-volume História da literatura portuguesa ilustrada, and the catalogue of his collection of Portuguese theater: Subsídios para a História do Teatro Português. Teatro de Cordel (Catálogo da Colecção do autor), published by the Academy of Sciences in 1922. His Palavras Cinicas was perhaps the greatest bestseller in twentieth-century Portugal, with 46 editions by the time of his death.
