notes: 
Joaõ Fernandes Vieira was the Portuguese governor of Brazil who expelled the Dutch from northeast Brazil in 1654, after 24 years of war. He was called Castrioto after Jorge Castrioto, King of Epirus or Albania, whose heroic deeds were well known to the Portuguese at the time. Clemente Bellingue was an engraver of bookplates in Portugal at the end of the seventeenth century.
