Show moreAccount of a pilgrimage to Mecca ordered by the Ottoman court to invoke divine assistance against the Christian forces in the Austro-Turkish War of 1716-18. In fact, the practical value of this pilgrimage turned out to be limited: in August that same year, Prince Eugene of Savoy defeated the Turks at Petrovaradin; in 1717 he recaptured Belgrade, defeating the Turkish forces with an overwhelmingly outnumbered army; in 1718 the Treaty of Passarowitz was signed, in which the Ottomans had to surrender large areas to Habsburg Empire, which now reached its greatest territorial expanse in history. - Translated into Portuguese and published by José Freire de Monterroyo Mascarenhas (1670-1760), the polyglot editor of numerous travel accounts and topical pamphlets.

First and only edition of this defence of Fernão de Albuquerque, a crucial source for the 1622 siege and capture of Hormuz by an Anglo-Persian force. The defeat of Rui Freire de Andrade effectively ended Portuguese power in the Arabian Gulf. This book is a most valuable source for the siege of Ormuz and operations in the Arabian Gulf in 1619-23 and contains extracts from contemporary documents relating to this campaign. - Several contemporary underlinings. Some browning; remarginings to title page, p. 3 of preliminary matter, Bb4 (defects to text); some of the loss has been supplied in blue ink (showing unattractive bleeding).

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.

Show moreThis volume is an account of the journey made by the Jesuit Father Manoel Godinho from India to Portugal by a new route, over land and sea. It contains valuable descriptions of India, Persia, and the adjacent Turkish Dominions, Arabia Felix, Arabia Deserta, etc. Father Godinho (1632-1712) had the spirit of an adventurer rather than a priest, and left the Order on his return to Portugal in 1663. He candidly admits the decline of Portuguese power in India, and the rise of the English and Dutch, especially the former. This is the first edition of his journey. It is considered "a very rare and valuable book of early travel in and near India, of which Brunet remarks that it is so rare as to have been wanting in the best collections of Voyages and Travels sold during many years past". o padre Manoel Godinho da Companhia de Iesu : enviado à magestade del Rey N.S.
