ABSTRACT
In this article, we publish for the first time a poem by Domingos Caldas Barbosa (1740-1800), found by us at Biblioteca Brasiliana “Guita e José Mindlin”, of the Universidade de São Paulo. We also present an introductory study about the author, his works and the current state of his critical reception, followed by a commentary on the poetic genetliacs as a genre produced in Portugal and Brazil during the 18th century.
