Abstract: This project was developed in partnership with the Cátedra Fernando Pessoa at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at Universidad de los Andes, with the collaboration of Casa Fernando Pessoa, and was financed by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation (P 139699). Its objectives were to inventory all fragments that constitute the Fausto of Fernando Pessoa, to present new transcriptions, and to make them available online. The fragments were transcribed after the establishment of criteria akin to those adopted by the critical editions of Fernando Pessoa’s work. A computer application was developed allowing simultaneous view of each original document, its respective transcription, and genetic apparatus, including also historical and contextual notes that may inspire other proposals of textual organizations, thus filling a gap in the current research on Pessoan studies and providing knowledge of this corpus outside Portugal, where Pessoa’s drama is still virtually unknown.
