The Dominio appeared again with the 1716 and 1720 editions of Eva e Ave. Sousa de Macedo (1606-1682), a native of Porto who studied law at Coimbra, reached the highest echelons of the magistracy and the diplomatic service. He was Secretary to the Portuguese Ambassador to London, Ambassador to the States of Holland and Secretary of State to D. Affonso VI. At the same time he was known as a man of vast erudition, publishing numerous works in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin. Among the best known are Flores de España, excelencias de Portugal, 1631, and Ulyssippo, 1640. He had been proposed as the author of the classic Arte de furtar (see Saraiva & Lopes [1976] p. 579)."
