Música do Parnasso
'Música do Parnasso' Summary
“Música do Parnasso” is a collection of poems written in four languages - Portuguese, Latin, Italian, and Spanish - by Manuel Botelho de Oliveira, a prominent figure in early Brazilian literature. The book signifies a remarkable achievement, solidifying its place as the first printed work by a Brazilian author. Oliveira’s decision to compose in multiple languages reflects his profound belief in the universality of poetry. He sought to showcase the ability of poetic expression to transcend geographic and linguistic barriers, demonstrating that the muses of poetry find a home even in the New World. The poems explore diverse themes and styles, offering a glimpse into the cultural landscape of early colonial Brazil and the author’s own artistic vision. While the date of publication remains unclear, the title page identifies Lisbon as the place of printing. This book, with its multilingual embrace and innovative approach to poetic expression, stands as a testament to the burgeoning literary scene in Brazil during the colonial period, and its enduring significance continues to inspire scholars and readers alike.Book Details
