Lisboa: Na Officina de Antonio Pedrozo Galrão, 1707-1723. 8.º; 10 v.; 205 mm. Friar Agostinho de Santa Maria, whose baptismal name was Manuel Gomes Freire, was born in Estremoz in 1642. He professed the order of the Discalced Augustinians, of which he became a chronicler, and died at the age of 86 in Lisbon.
