First complete edition in Portuguese. First published in Latin in 1571, there were no fewer than seven sixteenth-century editions, followed by editions of 1614 and 1794. The work appeared in French, Paris 1582, and there was a partial translation into Portuguese by António Jotta da Cruz Figueiredo, with a preface by Luís de Almeida Braga, Lisbon 1944. D. Jerónimo Osório was often called the "Portuguese Cicero." Useful, heavily annotated introductory material (pp. 9-24) is followed by the annotated Portuguese translation.
