Dear Bernado and Teotonio, The following is taken from Aleixo Manuel da Costa's "Dicionario de Literatura Goesa", vol. I:
Luis Leopoldo Flores: Lawyer, born at Velsao on 09-10-1847, died in Bagkok on 15-04-1917. Worked as lawyer in Goa, as "Subdelegado do Julgado" in Diu and as "Conservador do Registo Predial" in Daman. Chancellor of the Portuguese Consulate in Bombay and later of the Consulate in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil). Consul-general in Bangkok. When this Consulate was elevated to Legation, he remained there as "Charge-d'Affaires" until his death. Was member of the Geographical Societies of Lisbon, Berlin, Leipzig and some others, of Academies of Var (Toulon) and Ceara (Brazil) and of Institutes in Coimbra (Portugal) and Pernambuco (Brazil). Knight of the Order of "Isabel a Catolica" and of the Order of S. Tiago, for literary, scientific and artistic merit. Wrote books mainly dealing with Brazil and Portugal. Joaquim Jose Antonio de Campos: Historian and doctor, born at Anjuna on 11-10-1893, died in Siam (Thailand) on 13-05-1945. Did medical studies in Bengal, where he was on the editorial board of "Century Journal". Practiced medicine in British Africa, returned to Goa in 1934. Member since 1925 of the "Instituto Vasco da Gama" (Goa), delivered here two talks in 1934 on Portuguese antiques in East Africa. Appointed Consul of Portugal in Bangkok, Siam, his special assignment at the Legation in this country was to head the historical researches which were being done, about the Portuguese feats in that part of the world. In view of his vast historical culture, the Siamese Government itself appointed him Principal Counsellor of the Archaeological Services of Bangkok. He dedicated himself to the "study of the Portuguese archaeology in the lands where the Portuguese were dispossessed but where the Portuguese memories had not yet vanished". He was responsible for the initiative, in 1924, of the restoration of the "Instituto Vasco da Gama" of Goa. Ferreira de Castro defined him in his book "A Volta ap Mundo" as "a prestigious Portuguese from Goa, of infinite goodness and vast culture". He wrote, among other works, "History of the Portuguese in Bengal and Maps and Illustrations", "Antiguidades Portuguesas em Mombassa e na Costa de Azania", "Os Portugueses em Zanzibar e Pemba", "Diogo Veloso, Principe do Camboja", "Early Portuguese Accounts of Thailand", "Aspectos do antigo Si�o Peninsular", "Na Velha Ayuthia. Esbo�o Historico" and "The Origin of the Tical". Because of the historical interest of the biodata, I am copying this post to Goa Research Net.
