Agostinho Barbosa was a canon lawyer from Portugal, "noted for his sanctity, affability, and prodigious memory," according to the New Catholic Encyclopedia. He went to Madrid as an ecclesiastical judge in 1632, and in 1648 was appointed bishop of Ugento in southern Italy. Barbosa was a prolific author in the field of canon law; his collected works were published in 19 volumes at Lyons (1657-75).
Barbosa's law dictionary, the Thesaurus Locorum Communium Jurisprudentiae was first published in Strassburg in 1652, and was a publishing success. It was published again in Strassburg (1670), Leipzig (1690, 1691, 1697, 1707, 1719), and Cologne (1737).
