UM receives book donation from Portugal (2025/05/26)

 

The University of Macau (UM) Library has received a donation of books from the Casa de Bragança Foundation in Portugal. The books will provide students, faculty, and readers with valuable cultural and academic resources.

The donation comprises three books: Camões nos Prelos de Portugal e da Europa (1563-2000), A Biblioteca Camoniana de D. Manuel II, and A Biblioteca Camoniana de D. Manuel II: Catálogo Bibliográfico. Together, these three books provide a comprehensive study of the works of the Portuguese poet Luís de Camões, as well as his significance in Portuguese and European culture. They are of great value to researchers in literature, history, and culture.

Notably, A Biblioteca Camoniana de D. Manuel II includes a reference to the rare book recently acquired by the UM Library, Os Lusiadas do Grande Luis de Camoens, Principe da Poesia Heroica, which was published in 1613. During his visit to UM, José Cardoso Bernardes, professor in the Faculty of Letters at the University of Coimbra, attached an autographed explanatory note to the book, of which he is the coordinator of its compilation. Prof Bernardes is an expert in Camões studies, the commissioner general of the Commemorations of the 5th Centenary of the Birth of Luís de Camões, and a member of the Centre for Portuguese Literature at the University of Coimbra.
