Show morewritten by Duarte Barbosa and completed about the year 1518 A.D ; translated from the Portuguese text ; edited and annotated by Mansel Longworth Dames. First published in 1812 A.D., by the Royal Academy of Sciences at Lisbon, in Vol. II of its collection of documents regarding the history and geography of the nations beyond the seas. New English edition of the itinerary of Duarte Barbosa, a Portuguese official in India from 1500 to 1516. The first English translation appeared in 1865. Includes accounts of Mecca and Medina, the ports of Jeddah and Aden, the Arab kingdom of Hormuz, the islands in the Arabian Gulf (with reference to pearl-diving), etc. "The work may be a compilation of several sources, as it was impossible for one person to visit all the places [the author] mentions. Even if the book is not a record of personal observation, it is valuable for the information it supplies" (Cox I, 312). - Withdrawn from the Kansas City Public Library (their stamps on the flyleaf). The second volume was not published until 1921. The map reproduces Diego Ribero's 1529 map of the world.
