Anquilino Ribeiro; Cavaleiro de Oliveira - RIBEIRO (Aquilino) O CAVALEIRO de Oliveira . Com quatro estampas.. Porto - Lisboa: Livraria Lello Lda., Porto - Aillaud & Lelos Lda., Lisboa, s.d.. 100 pp.: il., 4 est.; 185 mm. (Colecção 'Ontem e hoje', n.9) Aquilino Ribeiro's vast work includes his work as a translator and adaptor of texts by authors considered classics. In addition to his forays into the works of Xenophon and his work translating and adapting Don Quixote and the Novels of Cervantes, Aquilino engaged in a veritable ”intellectual adventure” with Francisco Xavier de Oliveira, the Knight of Oliveira, over several decades. Francisco Xavier de Oliveira was an 18th-century Portuguese writer and polemicist who, based on the title of the Order of Christ he had received, adopted the literary name 'Chevalier de Oliveira.' He would eventually become better known as the Knight of Oliveira, an ”18th-century adventurer, ” labeled by some as a foreign and libertine writer. !
