Por Dom Ioam de Castro. Tirado a luz pela primeira vez do manuscrito original, e acrescentado com o Itinerarium maris Rubri, e o retrato do author, pelo doutor Antonio Nunes de Carvalho. Acusta de huma sociedade de Portuguezes. Very scarce (unrecorded on ABPC) account of this 16th-century sea voyage around the Arabian Peninsula. The present work is the first full appearance of this journey in print, published from the original manuscript logbooks of Castro's journey, touching on both navigational matters and events of general interest; for example, he devotes a long passage to refuting the theory that the Red Sea really is red (p 257) by drawing up daily samples for examination. Joao's voyage took him up the Red Sea, alighting on both the African coast and the Arabian coast until he reached Suez; his account includes descriptions of the various ports he encountered enroute. As the British Library catalogue notes, the original manuscript was reputed to have bought by Sir Walter Raleigh for £60. Added t.p., illustrated. "E acompanhado de um atlas de 17 cartas, ou taboas, que costumam enquadernar-se em separado."--Silva, Dict. bibl. port., vol. III, p. 345. Atlas wanting.
