Música Do Parnasso

Música do Parnasso

by Manuel Botelho de Oliveira

“Música do Parnasso” by Manuel Botelho de Oliveira is a groundbreaking work in Brazilian literature. It holds the distinction of being the first book printed by a Brazilian author. The book is a collection of poems composed in four languages: Portuguese, Latin, Italian, and Spanish. Oliveira’s multilingual composition underscores his intention to demonstrate the universal power of poetry, transcending geographical and linguistic boundaries. He aimed to prove that the muses of poetry find a home even in the New World. While this book is considered to be the first book by a Brazilian author, the date of its printing is not known, but the title page states that it was printed in Lisbon. The work is a testament to the literary ambition and talent that emerged in early colonial Brazil, and it continues to be a source of fascination and study for scholars and readers alike.
