<i>Em nome de Deus</i>: The Journal of the First Voyage of Vasco da Gama to India, 1497-1499: European Expansion and Indigenous Response, cartea 4

Autor Vasco Da Gama Editat de Glenn Ames
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 iun 2009
The voyage of Vasco da Gama to India (1497-1499) was one of the seminal events of the Renaissance period. An anonymous Journal kept by a member of his fleet has long served as the main documentary source for accounts of this voyage. Strangely, there has only been one English translation of this important document, published more than a century ago. This book provides a new, updated English translation of the Journal with extensive editorial notes and appendices which encompass and reflect changes in the historiography over the last century on Vasco da Gama and his first voyage. In doing so, it examines initial Portuguese impressions when confronted by the cultures of Africa and India during this period.
