EXTRACTOS da História da Conquista do Yaman pelos Othmanos. Lisboa. 1892. - EXTRACTOS da História da Conquista do Yaman pelos Othmanos . Contribuições para a história do estabelecimento dos portugueses na Índia. Memórias destinada à X sessão do Congresso Internacional dos Orientalistas por David Lopes. Lisboa: Imprensa Nacional, 1892. 102 pp.; 250 mm. Partial translation, with the Arabic text, of the chronicle of the Ottoman conquest of Yemen written by the Meccan historian Qutb al-Din al-Nahrawali, made from an Arabic manuscript that belonged to Francisco Maria Esteves Pereira and accompanied by scholarly notes. The selected passages concern the Ottoman expeditions to the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean and the confrontation with the Portuguese, and therefore constitute a valuable contribution, from an Islamic point of view, to the history of the Portuguese settlement in India in the 16th century. It was prepared as a report for the 10th Session of the International Congress of Orientalists, planned for Lisbon in 1892 but which ultimately did not take place, and published by the National Press with the sponsorship of the Lisbon Geographical Society. It is one of the first Arabic texts of interest to the history of Portuguese expansion to be translated and published in Portugal. (Estimated.) ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
