SOUSA (Fr. Luis de). LE PORTUGAIS et l’ Afrique du Nord de 1521 à 1557. Lisboa. 1940. - SOUSA (Fr. Luis de) LE PORTUGAIS et l’ Afrique du Nord de 1521 à 1557 . Extraits des «Annales de Jean III». Traduction française avec introduction et commentaire par Robert Ricard. Lisboa: Institut Français au Portugal, 1940. 210 pp.; 215 mm. French translation, with introduction and commentary by Robert Ricard, of excerpts relating to North Africa contained in the Annals of King John III by Friar Luís de Sousa, a chronicle originally published by Alexandre Herculano in 1844. The Annals, which recount the reign of King John III (1521-1557), include, among other topics, the introduction of the Inquisition in Portugal and the beginning of the effective colonization of Brazil, but this edition specifically isolates the passages dedicated to Portuguese strongholds and politics in North Africa between 1521 and 1557, annotated by Robert Ricard, one of the leading French specialists on the history of the Portuguese presence in Morocco. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
