After reading and reviewing the work of Barleus, reprinted in Portuguese in 1974, we ve found lot of similarities between his work and the works of Piso (1957) and Margrave (1941). These similarities let us to believe that our hypothesis is confirmed. In fact, Kaspar Barleus used writings of other authors as base to produce his book about Nassau s achievements
