Dabril.- [6], CCLXXXVI f.; 27 cm.- E. Both texts in second edition, almost entirely composed in two columns in rotunda Gothic characters. The first part was the only one printed in Manuel João's presses. The second part, printed by João Blávio, was published following the first, printed by the same printer in 1557. Fr. Marcos de Lisboa (1511-1591), chronicler of the Order of the Friars Minor (St. Francis), accompanied D. Sebastião on the journey to Africa and was bishop of Oporto from 1581 until the year of his death. First volume cropped, with tangential damage to the foot and right margin of the xilography that frames the title. Second volume with frail, handled and poorly restored title page; last sheet, with the printer's mark, mirrored and handled, with part of the outer margin redone; occasional minor restorations and stains. The two volumes are, however, complete and solid. Nineteenth century bindings (1st half), full sheepskin, slightly worn, with carmine edges. Anselmo 713 and 319. BN (16th century), 478 and 476. D. Manuel II Library, 282 and 281.
