Of or relating to Luís de Camões.
en 1881 Camoens: His Life and His Lusiads 725–726 https://books.google.com/books?id=Z4YGAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA725 This is emphatically true; and hence the Portuguese Epic has been universally recognised as wholesome and tonic reading, in fact, the very reverse of a certain “poisonous honey”; and the general directness of the Camonian style, and the straightforwardness with which the Great Portuguese calls a spade (when he must name it) a spade, is a pleasant contrast to that over-development, or rather abuse of Shelleyism, which in this stage of English versification suggests the “tale full of sound and fury,” and of mighty little meaning, though the words seem very strong.

Brazilian poets no longer imitated him, having developed along their own national lines, but Brazil's Emperor Dom Pedro II (1840-1889) was a Camonian enthusiast.
en 2001 Terry Cochran Twilight of the Literary: Figures of Thought in the Age of Print Harvard University Press 107 https://books.google.com/books?id=PmOcX9SHq3UC&pg=PA107 The Camonian figure and its discursive circulation have been elaborated within an evolving tradition, which in modernity is characterized by a progressive self-consciousness of nationhood.
