Góis, Damião de. Livro de Linhagens de Portugal

Today one would hardly expect to come across a wealth of unpublished work by such a leading exponent of Portuguese culture as Damião de Góis. His Livro de Linhagens de Portugal is presented here to challenge that assumption. Until recently, this work was only available in the form of manuscripts scattered across various archives and libraries; and now, finally, it has been published in book form. An omission of this nature is startling but perhaps possible to explain.
