From the author's biography (16th century), Franciscan from the Algarve province, we only know that he traveled throughout Europe, especially in Italy, and lived for almost three years in the Holy Land, having passed through Trento at the time of the third phase of the Council. O "Itinerário" is an account of his troubled pilgrimage, led by Friar Bonifácio of Ragusa, in which about 60 priests took part. The title page presents, in the centre, the coat of arms of D. Miguel de Castro, Archbishop of Lisbon; the next three pages, framed by xylographic frames, include the royal charter, the dedication to D. Miguel and a message to devotees looking forward to visiting the Holy Land. The text of the trip is developed in the following 301 sheets, after which there is a "tavoada" in three sheets, with identical frames, ending with a small engraving of Death; there follows the index, which occupies three sheets and presents, at the end, an engraving with the coat of arms of Portugal; in front of the last sheet, the errata, framed by two xylographic elements: "Erros deste lilvro"; on the back, another full page engraving with the coat of arms of Portugal. Complete copy, slightly trimmed (carmine edges), with light handling; restoration on the lower outer corners of the first 16 and last 14 sheets; some sections appear to have been washed, namely those that have been restored. The copy belonged to Prof. Freiras Simões (ex-libris on the back cover and stamp on the flyleaf). Full burgundy morocco 20th century binding with gold ornamental borders on the covers and panels closed on the spine (with some wormholes); rolls on the squares and traced in gold on the thickness of the covers. Inocêncio, VI, p. 337. Anselmo, 40. National Library (16th century), 577. D. Manuel II Library, 339. See also the well-documented historical novel by Fernando Campos "A Casa do Pó" (Difel, 1986).
