Floriano interpr. First Latin edition of this celebrated work on African geography by the Islamic scholar Hasan ben Muhamed el-Wazzan-ez-Zayyati (1485-1552), better known under his Latin name Johannes Leo Africanus. His work long remained the principal source of information on the geography of Africa in general and the Sudan in particular. It is assumed that Leo wrote his description of Africa directly in Italian, though he certainly relied also on Arabic notes, some of which he might have composed while travelling in Northern Africa. The original Italian edition appeared in the famous series Navigationi et Viaggi, published at Venice in 1550 by Giovanni Battista Ramusio. The work was soon translated into Latin, French (1556), English (1600), and Dutch (1665). The present Latin edition of 1556, prepared by Johannes Florianus, rector of a grammar school in Antwerp, was widely used by European scholars until the late 19th century. - Some faint browning and foxing at places, ties lacking. Good copy of a classic work on African geography. Main Heritage Shelves General DT7 .L48 1556 Book Item-ID: i16862685 BIB-ID: 1509761 Show less

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.
