Cartas de Duarte Coelho a El Rei

by Duarte Coelho

"Five letters from Duarte Coelho, donatary captain of Pernambuco, to João III, King of Portugal. All but the first letter are photographically reproduced; all are transcribed in original orthography; and all are also printed (and annotated) in updated Portuguese. Excellent source for early history of one of the few successful colonization efforts in early-16th-century Brazil"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
