This manuscript
, illustrated with two illuminations - one presenting his royal coat of arms and the other with the figure of Queen Santa Isabel - speaks of the "good life that the Queen of Portugal
, D. Isabel, has done, and of her good deeds and miracles in his life and after his death".
The book was published in 1592 and will be the only known copy of a biography of the queen, already missing, probably written shortly after his death (1336) by his confessor and bishop of Lamego
, Friar Salvado Martins.
