MACHADO (José Pedro) e CAMPOS (Viriato). VASCO da Gama e a sua Viagem de Descobrimento. Lisboa. 1969. - MACHADO (José Pedro) e CAMPOS (Viriato) VASCO da Gama e a sua Viagem de Descobrimento . Com a edição crítica e leitura actualizada do relato anónimo da viagem. Lisboa: Edição da Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, 1969. XIV, 272 pp.: il.; 235 mm. A study on Vasco da Gama and his first voyage to India (1497-1499), published by the Lisbon City Council as a contribution to the commemorations of the centenary of the navigator's birth in 1969, including a critical edition and updated reading of the anonymous account of the voyage, the main contemporary testimony of the expedition. It confronts the different forms of appreciation of the chroniclers of the time in relation to the available sources and discusses the problems of historical interpretation related to Vasco da Gama's first voyage, including the question, still open today, of the authorship of the anonymous account, generally attributed to Álvaro Velho. A carefully curated and profusely illustrated edition, of interest for the study of the historiography of Vasco da Gama's voyage and the critical analysis of the account that witnessed it. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
