Carvallo was a Jurist and political writer born in Guimarães in Portugal, active in the second half of the XVI century. He practiced as a lawyer in Milan, this seems to be his only printed work. It also seems to be the only work printed by Herederos de P. Poçio,
This books seems to me like a legal courtesy book. As far as I can tell it is very ,Very rare.
“Milan was under Spanish control as part of the Hapsburg Empire from 1525 to 1700. So a work in Spanish by a Portuguese-born writer published in Milan during that era of globalization makes sense.” (from a gentle reader)
