Future Subjunctive

[Perikles]

“Adónde fueres, haz lo que vieres.”

I am told there is a future subjunctive in Portuguese. I am right in thinking it is obsolete in Spanish?

Yes, it's true, though you can find it in legal texts

"Donde fueres", instead of "adónde"

[Perikles]

Thanks. Can somebody explain how there can be a future subjunctive, when there isn't one in Latin?

Well, I can't

But there are a few books about this topic

I can find a claim that it was a merger between the perfect subjunctive and the future perfect indicative.

Thanks for that - L. cantavero / cantaverim => Sp. cantare. Hmmm.
