About the author

Born in Salvador, Bahia, on March 16, 1774, he became an important public figure in the first years of the Brazilian Empire. Sources identify him as a judge, appeals court magistrate, minister, councillor of state, and senator, and also note the noble titles Viscount with Grandee and Marquis of Nazaré.

Although he is remembered mainly for politics and public office, his name also appears in literary and historical catalogs because of Memoria sobre as diversas salgas da sardinha, a practical text on methods of salting sardines and other fish. That surviving work helps place him not only in government history, but also in the broader record of Luso-Brazilian writing and print.

He died on March 11, 1827. Based on the sources reviewed, he is best understood as a historical Brazilian statesman whose authorship survives through a specialized nonfiction work rather than as a novelist or man of letters in the modern sense.
