This is a study, in French, of manuscript 50-V-19 from the Ajuda Library in Lisbon, which contains a heavily Portuguese-influenced Castilian translation of Pompónio Mela's * De situ orbis* , made by Master Joan Faras, physician and surgeon to King Manuel I, and annotated in the margin by Duarte Pacheco Pereira. The author identifies the translator with Master João, author of the letter about Pedro Álvares Cabral's voyage to Brazil in 1500, and places the translation in the 1490s. Duarte Pacheco Pereira is the author of *Esmeraldo de situ orbis* , whose title originates from Mela's work. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
