First treatise on chivalry (or horsemanship) published in Portugal, whose author (c. 1613-1689), born in Vila Viçosa, was commander of the Order of Christ and groom of the Royal House. The work includes, in addition to an engraved portrait of the author (oval surrounded by heraldic and allegorical motifs), 20 copperplate prints, 15 of which are double-leaf or fold-out, representing various genet exercises, various harnesses and other accessories. The engravings are signed C. B. F. (Clemente Bilíngue Fecit) and F. D. I. or C. R. f. (Ernesto Soares [History], 318) and correspond exactly to the location indicated in the index on the eighth preliminary sheet (**4). Pagination errors in folio KK6 (p. 393 and 394 instead of p. 395 and 396). The copy, lightly handled and lightly cropped, but complete, presents the following imperfections: two restored engravings (cannon nº 1, after p. 72 and 2nd brake, after p. 134); a poorly restored and handled engraving (after p. 356); another with tide stains (after p. 254); title page with some stains, small central restoration and old inscriptions on the verso; slight stains affecting the first 30 pages of the text. Contemporary binding, fully sheepskin, with florets between the sections (weak joints), preserving the original endpapers. Samodães, 1342. Inocêncio, I, p. 147. Torrecilla, 255. Arouca, A 341.
