Os Lusíadas @ 450 Bibliography - The Text

In the public domain for centuries, Camões' works can be found freely available online thanks to the work of libraries worldwide. The most extensive collection of digitized versions of Os Lusiadas is at the Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal (BNP). Here at UC Berkeley, many early editions in Portuguese but also translated into Spanish, Italian, German, and English are housed in The Bancroft Library. Texts in the original and in translation are plentiful in the the Main "Gardner" Stacks.
