About the author

Born in Salvador in 1774, he became a prominent Brazilian magistrate and politician during the transition from colonial rule to the early Empire of Brazil. Sources describe him as the first and only Viscount with Grandeza and Marquis of Nazaré, and note that he served as a minister, councillor of state, and senator of the Empire shortly before his death in 1827.

He is also remembered in book catalogs and literary databases as an author, especially for a work on fish salting and food preservation that circulated in print and is now preserved by projects such as Project Gutenberg. That practical side of his writing gives his profile a wider interest: not only a public figure, but someone whose published work reflects everyday economic life as well.

Available source material is much stronger on his public offices than on his private life, so some personal details remain sparse. I also could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the page I checked, so no profile image is included here.
