Luís Marinho de Azevedo, born in Lisbon, was Captain and Military Commissioner and was closely linked to the Restoration war as he served as Secretary to the Count of S. Lourenço, when he commanded the troops in the service of D. João IV in the Alentejo. This work, highly esteemed, had its first edition printed at the Oficina Craesbeeckiana, 1652. According to what we can read in the supplement to the Bibliographical Dictionary, there are two editions printed in 1753. One of them has no indication of the printer, only saying "printed at the expense by Luís de Moraes" with a dedication to D.José. This one has the same dedication, with the same text, but signed by Manuel António Monteiro de Campos. The licenses for the edition by Morais date from September 1753 and that of Monteiro de Campos from May and June of the same year, which leads to the assumption that the present edition is the second, despite containing no mention of the fact, while that of Morais is the third, however, has the indication "Second correct and amended edition". Estimated.
