BENSAUDE (Joaquim). LACUNES et Surprises de L’ Histoire des Decouvertes Maritimes: I Partie. Coimbra. 1930. - BENSAUDE (Joaquim) LACUNES et Surprises de L’ Histoire des Decouvertes Maritimes: I Partie . Coimbra: Imprensa da Universidade, 1930. pp. 255-448; 255 mm. This is the first part of a study published by Joaquim Bensaúde in Coimbra, at the University Press, in 1930, concerning gaps and little-known aspects of the history of maritime discoveries. The National Library of Portugal considers it the author's most significant work on the reign of King John II, within the body of studies Bensaúde dedicated in the 1930s to reconstructing the evolution of the Expansion through the figures of Prince Henry the Navigator and King John II. Written in French, it was published in the same year that the author presented his thesis on the origins of the plan for the Indies at the Seville Exhibition. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
