Sic transit gloria mundi #11

E porque há que dar valor aos portugueses que o têm (e porque sou um entusiasta da obra de Fernão Lopes e de História, especialmente a de Portugal) aqui fica:

«Lopes has been called the Portuguese Froissart, and that rare gift, the power of making their subjects live, is common to the two writers; indeed, had the former written in a better-known language, there can be little doubt that the general opinion of critics would have confirmed that of Robert Southey, who called Lopes beyond all comparison the best chronicler of any age or nation.»
