The author's third work on Portugal, the first two having been published in 1795: “Plans, elevations, sections and views of the church of Batalha...” and “Travels in Portugal through the provinces of Entre Douro e Minho, Beira, Estremadura and Alem-Tejo in the years 1789 and 1790”.

Main work by the Jesuit Alonso de Ovalle (1603-1651), historian and chronicler, born in Santiago de Chile, son of powerful Spanish landowners. The copy lacks the folding map of the province. The work printed in the same year in the Italian version, was only reprinted in 1888 (Santiago), with a circulation of 600 copies. The specimen has some imperfections, the most important of which are: excessive cropping, slight browning and handling; monogrammed stamp with a count's coronet, on the title page; the paper of the copperplate prints is of poor quality and some have small worm holes, most of them marginal. With the exception of the map, it is however complete, corresponding even to the collation indicated to us by Palau. Provenance: Library of Bernardino Ribeiro de Carvalho (lot nº 543 of auction nº 50 of Pedro de Azevedo), with its oval label (ex-libris) on the back cover. Binding from the 19th century, with morocco spine. Sommervogel, IV, 39/40. Palau, 207397.
