Fifty years ago, very little was known about the history of the Carmelite Order on the Iberian peninsula. As far as Spain is concerned, this lack was amply filled with the publication in 1994 of the third volume of Balbino Velasco's Historia del Carmelo español. Now the volume under review performs the same service for Portugal. A prolific author, Father Balbino is a member of the Institutum Carmelitanum in Rome, the Real Academia de Historia, and the Academia de San Quirce de Segovia.
