Title page of the propably first book printed in Brazil, in the XVIII century. (Remember that printing was forbidded in Brazil until 1808).
O site da Biblioteca Brasiliana (sim, a do Mindlin) está online desde o dia 4 desse mês. Parece que a equipe está a todo o vapor digitalizando os livros. Não dá pra não ficar animado, não?
Since 4th June the website of the Biblioteca Brasiliana it's online. It's the biggest private library that was donated in 2006 to the University of São Paulo. Its collection includes essential and important books and printing material about Brazil and also about its printing history. (Unfortunately there is no information in English). Pretty exciting, isn't?
