Important work, written by Giovanni Battista Birago Avogadro, a Venetian citizen, which addresses the separation of Portugal from the Crown of Castile, detailing the events that culminated in the Restoration of Portuguese independence in 1640, after 60 years of Iberian union under Spanish rule. The narrative offers an outsider’s perspective on the political and military events that led to the restoration of Portuguese sovereignty.

This 1647 edition includes, in addition to Birago’s main text, significant contributions from other authors. From page 753 onwards, the "General indisposition of the Spanish monarchy and its causes and remedies", attributed to Diego de Saavedra Fajardo, which analyses the weaknesses of the Spanish monarchy and suggests possible solutions. And on the final numbered pages, the "Manifesto per la partenza de ministri apostolici dalla corte di Portogallo", which discusses issues related to the departure of apostolic ministers from the Portuguese court.

The first publication was published in 1644, under the title "Historia del regno di Portogallo". A second edition followed in 1646, entitled "Historia delle rivolutioni del regno di Portogallo". Finally, this third edition, with the addition of the above-mentioned texts.

Rare.
