Note 198 — CHAP. II. HISTORY OF PORTUGUESE POETRY AND ELOQUENCE FROM THE EPOCH OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ITALIAN STYLE, TILL TOWARDS THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. (continued 2)

The article Diogo Bernardes in Barbosa Machado’s Lexicon of learned men, is very honourable to Bernardes; and this writer is mentioned in terms of still higher commendation in the biographical preface to the new edition of Ferreira’s poems. (See p. 114 of the present vol.) Barbosa Machado also gives notices of the old editions of the various works of this poet, who is scarcely known on this side of the Pyrenees even by name.
