LAGUARDA TRÍAS (Rolando A.). El PREDESCUBRIMIENTO del Río de la Plata por la Expedición Portuguesa de 1511-1512. Lisboa. 1973. - LAGUARDA TRÍAS (Rolando A.) El PREDESCUBRIMIENTO del Río de la Plata por la Expedición Portuguesa de 1511-1512 . Lisboa: Junta de Investigações do Ultramar, 1973. XII, 220, [4] pp.: il.; 290 mm. A study in Spanish about the Portuguese expedition of 1511-1512 to the River Plate. Until then, it was considered that the Spanish armada of Juan Díaz de Solís, in 1516, had been the first European expedition to penetrate the estuary. The author argues that, four years earlier, an expedition from Lisbon had been there under the command of the herald Diogo Ribeiro, who, after his death at the hands of the Indians, arrived at the estuary under the direction of Estêvão Fróis (or Flores). The study is accompanied by 27 documents, mostly unpublished, that substantiate the author's claims, and by prints, both separately and within the text, containing facsimiles of documents and maps. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
