BRAZÃO (Eduardo). OS CORTE REAIS e o Novo Mundo. Lisboa. 1965. - BRAZÃO (Eduardo) OS CORTE REAIS e o Novo Mundo . Lisboa: Agência-Geral do Ultramar, 1965. 168, [2] pp.: il.; 230 mm. A study on the Corte-Real family and their role in the Portuguese exploration of the North Atlantic, specifically the voyages of João Vaz Corte-Real and his sons Gaspar and Miguel Corte-Real to the lands of present-day Canada, Newfoundland, and Labrador, between the late 15th and early 16th centuries. This work discusses the controversial issue of Portuguese priority in the recognition of these North American coasts, bringing together the documentation and historiographical tradition surrounding the Corte-Real family, whose memory remains alive in Canada through toponymy and local tradition. It has been published in English and French, reflecting international interest in the subject, particularly in the context of studies on the Portuguese presence in North America. A reference work on one of the lesser-known, but historically relevant, chapters of Portuguese maritime expansion in the North Atlantic. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
