TOSCANO (Francisco Soares)
PARALLELOS de Principes e Varões Illustres Antigos que muitos da nossa Naçam Portuguesa se assemelhárão em suas obras, & feitos: com a origem das armas de alguas familias deste reino. Em Évora: Por Manoel Carvalho, 1623.
[18], 180 ff.; 195 mm.
Neither Inocêncio nor Barbosa give us any biographical information about the author. We only know that he was born in Évora. This work, the first edition of which is the one we present here, is a curious comparison between the deeds of several Portuguese people and those of other great figures in world history, whether historical, such as Constantine or Julius Caesar, or mythological, such as Ulysses or Hercules. Rare.
