Note 210 — CHAP. II. HISTORY OF PORTUGUESE POETRY AND ELOQUENCE FROM THE EPOCH OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ITALIAN STYLE, TILL TOWARDS THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY. (continued 2)

These scanty notices are furnished by Niclas Antonio and Barbosa Machado. Dieze has collected from the same sources the particulars respecting Rodriguez Lobo, which are contained in his appendix to Velasquez. The works of this poet, are published under the inappropriate title of Obras politicas, moraes e metricas do insigne poeta Portuguez Francisco Rodriguez Lobo, &c. Lisboa, 1723, in one neatly printed folio volume. But even this edition which was intended to revive the recollection of one of the best Portuguese poets, contains no account of that poet’s life.
