‘According to Silva (Tom. 1, p.98, and Tom 6., p.397, P. Barretto de Resende wrote the account of the viceroys, and A. Bocarro the descriptions of the fortresses. There can scarcely be a doubt but that the second part of the Museum MS., although attributed to B. de Resende according to the wording of the title, is really by Bocarro, as it corresponds in all important particulars with the description of Bocarro’s work given in the “Catalogo dos MS. de la Bib. Pub. Eborense.’ – India Office map catalogue
