Critical edition with much new material, the first in Portuguese, of a work which appeared originally in Spanish, Rouen 1641. Fernandes de Vila Real [or Villa Real], a merchant born in Lisbon, served as Consul of Portugal in Paris under D. João IV, and in that capacity helped the king gain acceptance and consolidate his government. When he returned to Portugal in April 1649, however, he was denounced before the Inquisition for having brought books listed on the Index into the country, and also for having written a work whose content was suspect. In 1652 he was handed over to the secular authorities in an auto-da-fé at the Terreiro do Paço, garrotted and burnt. He was a friend of Antonio Enriquez Gomez, is listed in Keyserling, and almost certainly was Jewish.
