First edition, the most appreciated and largest format, of this important title of Portuguese historiography, which reports the political-military events occurring in Portugal between 1640 and 1668. The colation of the two volumes is as follows: Volume I-[12], 908, [31, 1 Br.] P.: 1 frontispiece Engrav., 1 Portrait; Volume II-[20], 975, [1 Br.] P.: 1 frontispiece engrav. The first volume is of the second edition, with a date of 1710 (the first is 1679) and retains, not only the engraved frontispiece, but also the beautiful portrait of the author (signed Fred.
