BARBOSA MACHADO, DIEGO. - Writer and bibliographer of Portugal, b. in Lisbon in 1682, d. in the abbey of St. Adrian of Sever in 1772. With his four volumes of the Bibliotheca lusitana historico-critica et chronologica (Lisbon 1741-59), a bio-bibliographical repertory of Portuguese writers, he accomplished a work analogous to that of Mazzuchelli for Italian men of letters. He is also the author of the Memorias para a historia de Portugal (ibid. 1736-47). He collected a very rich library and an immense number of portraits. He published against the Jesuits Carta exhortatoria aos Padres da Companhia de Jesus etc., published anonymously in 1754 in Amsterdam.
