Buena edición de este clásico de la literatura del descubrimiento y conquista de La Florida publicado originalmente en Evora en 1557. "En una época en que el Nuevo Mundo atraÃa a numerosas huestes de exploradores la organización de una expedición por un conquistador prestigioso constituÃa una llamada irrecusable. Veintitrés portugueses llegaron a Sevilla en 1538 para participar en la expedición de Fernando de Soto a Florida. Diecisiete años después del regreso de los supervivientes sólo el Fidalgo de Elvas ofrecÃa al público el acceso a la información sobre la expedición del capitán extremeño. En el año 1557 la Relación verdadera vendrÃa a suscitar el interés de ingleses holandeses y franceses que promovieron dieciséis ediciones de la obra entre 1605 y 1965" Maria Da Graça Alves Mateus Ventura abstracto para la edición publicada por la Comissão Nacional para as Comemorações dos Descobrimentos Portugueses Lisboa 1998.
