Metelli ... epistola ad Ant. Augustinum. Only German-printed edition. - Fundamental source for the history of the reign of King Manuel I, "the Fortunate", under whom Portugal discovered the sea route to India and built a colonial empire in the Indian Ocean. Bishop Jerónimo Osório (1506-80), the "Portuguese Cicero", first published his work (based on the chronicle by Damio de Goes) in 1571. It includes an account of the voyages of Vasco da Gama as well as sections on "Arabicae expeditiones fructus", the Arabs' navigational skill, the various sieges of Aden, etc. Also recounts how Mochrin, son-in-law to the prince of Mecca, wrested the island Bahrain ("large, adorned with many magnificent buildings, and very populous, as great numbers of merchants resorted there in matters of business") from the Kingdom of Hormuz, the dominant regional power of the time, and the Portuguese under Sequeire were persuaded to win the island back for the latter. - Title page dust-soiled and relaid; some underscoring in text. Cancelled library bookplate of University College, Oxford, as well as that of Edward John Payne, MA. Ms. ownership (1819) at end of text (William Walsh, "I bought this book at Bath"). Overall a very good tight copy of this book on Portuguese exploration in the Middle East. Main Heritage Shelves General DP604 .O86 1576 Book Item-ID: i16875333 BIB-ID: 1510952 Show less
