It seems to be the second edition of what is, according to Inocêncio, the first work of its kind published in Portugal. Divided into three books, this work deals with the history of Europe, Asia and Africa in each of them. Innocent indicates an edition having been published in 1651, but making no reference to the present one. Pinto de Matos refers to the two editions, from 1651 and 1652, but he does not seem to have seen it, at least the one from 1652, because the collection he presents is wrong. On the other hand, José dos Santos says that this edition is "considered the first".

¶ Inocêncio, v.5, p. 356; Pinto Matos, p. 30; Samodães, 157
