Portuguese term

extralusitano

Portuguese to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters In The Preface To A Novel
Context:

Se comparo o Amor de Perdição, cuja 5.a edição me parece um éxito fenomenal e extralusitano, com O Crime do Padre Amaro e O Primo Basílio, confesso, voluntariamente resignado, que para o esplendor destes dois livros foi preciso que a arte se ataviasse dos primores lavrados no transcurso de dezesseis anos.

Obrigada,

Barbara

agree Frank Miller : Context makes it obvious that the prefix "extra-" in this case refers to the sphere outside of whatever is listed (similar to "extraterrestrial"). Muito bem feito/traduzido! :)
