RESUMO

The text named Tratado Descritivo do Brasil em 1587, by Gabriel Soares de Sousa is one of the greatest written references for the brazilian colonial historiografy. Rich in information about the new land, the authorship of the text was identified by Francisco Adolpho de Varnhagen, in 1838, in an exercise of documental critic. The Portuguese colonist arrived in Brazil in 1569, and became gentleman of devices, explored all over San Francisco River and presented his writings to the court of Philippe II, during the period of the union of the crowns. But beyond the valuable content of the speech, there is an incredible biography involving it and relating diverse aspects presents in the process of settling; there is the fascinating history of the discovery of the colonial texts and its readings.
