by Miguel J. T. Mascarenhas
Project Gutenberg lists Miguel J. T. Mascarenhas as the author of at least two Portuguese-language works available online: Um conto portuguez: episodio da guerra civil: a Maria da Fonte and Surpreza.
Based on those titles, he appears to have written fiction rooted in Portuguese settings and history, including the period of the Maria da Fonte uprising. Reliable biographical details about his life were not clearly available in the sources I could confirm during this search, so it is best to describe him as a Portuguese-language author known mainly through these preserved texts.
Because confirmed reference material is scarce, many personal details about Mascarenhas remain difficult to verify today. His work survives chiefly through digital archive listings rather than modern biographical profiles, which gives him the feel of a rediscovered literary figure from an earlier era.
