Sumario:The present work consists of the survey, description and documentary analysis of the provenance records left by the politician and bibliophile Homero Pires in his books from the 16th and 17th centuries. Of the 165 books from this period present in the Rare Books Section of the Central Library (BCE) of the University of Brasília (UnB), 92 belonged to the aforementioned collector. In addition to the notes and possession records left by the bibliophile, the provenance records of those who previously had contact with the specimens were also observed. Therefore, it was found, among other things, that these records present relevant information on the circulation of books, on the practices of bibliographic collecting and on the market for rare works in Brazil in the first half of the 20th century.
