1681. Faria de y Sovsa, Manuel. – Africa Portvgvesa par sv avtor. . . . Lisboa : fol., pp. 207.
A good account, though in some part largely taken zithout acknowledgment from Leo, of the Portuguese conquests in Morocco. The « unico tomo » is entirely occupied with this. No second was ever published, though 3 vols. are devoted to Europa Portuguesa, Lisboa, 1678. The author was a prolific writer, his publications comprising more than 60 volumes. He was born in 1590, and after filling various offices, including that of Secretary to the Spanish Embassy in Rome, where he enjoyed the favour of Pope Urban VIII., died in Madrid in 1649. This work was therefore posthumous.
