Marcos de Lisboa OFM, (1511-1591) was a chronicler of the order and accompanied King D. Sebastião in 1574, on his first journey in Africa; later (1581) he became bishop of Porto. His «Crónicas da Ordem dos Frades Menores», achieved great editorial success, as for the 16th century alone we have news of four editions in Portugal, seven in Spain and about 17 in Italy (of its various parts). Complete set, consisting of two volumes of different editions. The first was printed by António Ribeiro in 1587 (the only volume published by this printer); the second, almost entirely composed in gothic characters, was printed by the German João Blávio de Colónia, in 1562, and the same printer also published the first volume (first part), in 1557, which is not included in this set. Slightly trimmed volumes, with slight browning and occasional minor stains; Title pages with Livraria de Alcobaça stamps covered with paper patches; both title pages, slightly used, with reconstructed margins and two antique ownerships. Bindings from the 18th century(?), full sheepskin, identical, slightly worn, with traces of wormholes. Initials F.I.M. engraved in gold at the foot of the spine of the first volume (and possibly the second, with a small flaw in the same place). Anselmo, 975 and 319. Biblioteca Nacional (16th century), 479 and 476. Biblioteca de D. Manuel II, 281 (for the 2nd and 3rd parts, not referring to the edition by António Ribeiro).
