The fourth leaf has notes on the meaning. D. Joaquim Pedro Quintela, 1.º Conde de Farrobo (1801-1869) was a Portuguese aristocrat and businessman, the heir and successor of the great capitalist and landowner of the same name, D. Joaquim Pedro Quintela, 1.º Barão de Quintela. Farrobo was a noted philanthropist and patron of the arts. He amassed great wealth and influence owing to his intense activity in the world of industry and business. Even though the Conde de Farrobo had an unquestionable role in the political, social, and cultural life of Portugal, he is perhaps best remembered today for his legendary parties of great opulence and excess. Some claim that the Portuguese word farrobodó (meaning a big, raucous party or event) derives from Farrobo. In later life most of Farrobo's fortune was lost.Augusto Joaquim Henriques Ribeiro de Paiva studied medicine at Coimbra and was awarded the Ordem de Christo for his services during the 1857 cholera outbreak, about which he published Relatorio da cholera-morbus asiatica no concelho de Villa-franca de Xira no anno de 1855 para 1856. Innocêncio states that he was born late in the eighteenth century in Castello Branco, and was still alive in 1858; according to Guerra Andrade, Dicionário de pseudónimos e iniciaes, p. 412, he died in 1864..*** Innocêncio VIII, 342 (calling for 9 unnumbered pages); on the author, see also I, 311.
