This paper offers a review of Portuguese pastoral literature, and focuses on the unpublished romance Olympo de pastores, prozas, & verços (1632) by António do Vale de Morais, a manuscript book (presumably autographic) that is now preserved at the National Library of Portugal (BNP 11691). New information is also given on the biography and literary production of António do Vale de Morais (fl. 1635), who remains virtually unknown today, while attention is paid to the relevance of Olympo de pastores in the context of seventeenth-century Portuguese literature.
