These 300 English entries mark the beginning of a translation job covering extensive online material from the Portuguese version.

There are 7,000 words in total, out of which these 300 – selected and compiled from the original version by PhD’s in Language and Literature Júlio Diniz and Fred Góes – form an outstanding summary in terms of relevance and probable data retrieving by English-speaking researchers.

This extension job into English must continue. In order to do so, we kindly request some support – sponsorship, possibly partnership – from those who have access to this (exclusively non-profit and non-commercial) data base.

Please read some further information on this Web site and learn a little more about our job.
