Pedro António Bettencourt Raposo was born on May 14th, 1853, in Lisbon, Portugal. Physician and surgeon at the Lisbon Civil Hospitals, he was also secretary and librarian at the Medical-Surgical School of the Portuguese capital. He wrote on Deontology and Jurisprudence for medical education reform. He founded the journal Medicina Contemporânea, in which he published, in Portuguese, chapters 1 and 2 of the book Syphilis Sive Morbus Gallicus, by Hyeronimi Fracastorii. Unfortunately, we found no records that Bettencourt Raposo has completed the translation of the aforementioned poem.
