Descobrimentos dos Portuguezes nos Seculos XV e XVI
by A. F. Marx de Sori
About the author
Available catalog records identify A. F. Marx de Sori as António Filipe Marx de Sori, born in 1833 in Lisbon, Portugal. He is associated with Portuguese-language historical writing rather than fiction, and the surviving online records about him are quite limited.
He is best known for Descobrimentos dos Portuguezes nos Seculos XV e XVI, first published in 1867. In that book, he examines the Portuguese discoveries of the 15th and 16th centuries, focusing on what drove those voyages and what lasting effects they had.
Because so little biographical information is readily available in reliable online sources, much of his life remains obscure. What does stand out is his interest in explaining Portugal’s maritime past in a clear, structured way for readers interested in history.
