Rare Italian translation by Evangelista Ortense, intendant of the Duke of Mantua, from a Castilian edition published the previous year in Zaragoza. About the author, we only know that he was a native of the Spanish city of Trujillo, in the province of Cáceres. The work includes important information about the Portuguese-Spanish conflict, which led to the loss of independence from Portugal in 1580. We highlight a list of the nobles who entered Lisbon with the troops of the Duke of Alba, as well as a list containing the 47 personalities excluded from the general pardon of Filipe I, which included, namely, D. António Prior do Crato, D. Francisco de Portugal (3rd Count of Vimioso) and his brother D. Manuel, D. Fr. Heitor Pinto, etc. On the back of the last sheet, a register, the printer's mark and the colophon. Copy slightly cropped, with slight foxing and eventual lack of a blank sheet at the end (the last section I only includes three sheets). Interesting handwritten ownership inscription on the title page: Ex Libris Sebastiani Tengnagel I.V.D. et Caes: Biblioth. Tengnagel († 1636) was an Orientalist scholar and the librarian in charge of the Imperial Court Library of Vienna, Austria, between 1608 and the year of his death. Full sheepskin binding, with blid tooling decoration on the coversand spine, probably from the workshop of master Império Graça. Palau, 72953 (refers to the original edition, published in Zaragoza, in 1581). Ferreira da Silva (Chronicles), 557.
