He went to Brazil about 1700, and for thirty years held various offices in the courts of justice of that country. He became chief justice of Brazil in 1732, but returned to his native country a few months Before his death His most important work is "Doagoo da Capitania de Porto Seguro em favor de Pedro Tourinho" (Coimbra, 1724).
