  • Handwritten – [Manuel Maria Loper de Sampaio]
  • Handwritten – Antonio Feliciano de Castilho
    • António Feliciano de Castilho, 1st Viscount of Castilho (1800–1875) was a Portuguese writer. He lost his sight at the age of six, but the devotion of his brother Augusto, and aided by a retentive memory, succeeded in his studies and acquired an almost complete mastery of the Latin language and literature. Though Castilho’s lack of strong individuality and his excessive respect for authority prevented him from achieving original work of real merit, yet his translations of Anacreon, Ovid and Virgil, as well as his best-known Letter to the Empress reveal him as a master of form and a purist in language.
