I’m embarrassed to say that only came across the Biblioteca Nacional Digital page today. What’s so interesting about it? Check out the list of recent digitized books, and I’m quite sure you’ll be as hyped as I am now. I mean, look at these beauties from 1685, for example. And this stuff seems to be available for free download in PDF format or JPG files!!!

Here’s another pearl: Nova Escola para aprender a ler, escrever, e contar. This book is where Dino dos Santos got his inspiration for Andrade.

I hope the Library of Mafra National Palace decides to digitize its contents as well...
