Miguel Vicente de Abreu (1827 – 1883) was a Portuguese historian and a minor official of the Imprensa Nacional (government printing press).
The former was a first grade officer of the finance department, and he had already made a mark as historian before the arrival in Goa of the Portuguese historian-administrator Cunha Rivara in 1855.
In later generations their families intermarried, resulting in the Goan-Portuguese politician, lawyer and journalist António Maria Eurico Alberto Fiel Xavier.
Describing his home in current-day Panjim in 2012, the German Cultural Week Goa organisers said:[2] "Built in the 19th century, every stone of this Pombaline Portuguese house tells a fascinating story of its colonial past.
Miguel Vicente de Abreu (1827-1883) was a Goan intellectual and Provincial Associate of the Royal Academy of Science of Lisbon."
