One other [possible/nuanced] interpretation:

<<This looks like a formulaic use of the epoch that I am not acquainted with. 
Still maybe: with no stain in his caste, i.e. euphemistically, nothing to be 
noted about...>>

I got this interpretation from my brother in law who happens to be a professor 
at the ULisbon in the Fac de Letras.

HI Selma -- "sem nota alguma na sua casta" seems to me "no reference to his 
caste" (literally: "no any note on his caste") but there may be more subtle 
interpretations

Dear members,

Those who know Portuguese I really need your imput on this. Here is a sentence 
which doesn't make sense straight away to me or to the one or two people I've 
enquired with.

It starts with puro sangue...about 3 lines down. I'm attaching the sentence 
here for you. I don't want to make a mistake in interpreting it and I would 
really, really appreciate your help, so that I can arrive at a consensus.

Many thanks,
selma
