The danger and deadly risk of these expeditions were weighed before they began1. As Gomes Eanes de Zurara wrote of sailors contemplating the circumnavigation of Cape No in the vicinity of Bojador, “since the hazarding of this attempt seemed to threaten the last evil of all, there was great doubt as to who would be the first to risk his life in such venture”.

  • As Missões De Diogo Gomes De 1456 E 1460
    As missões de Diogo Gomes de 1456 e 1460. Aurélio de Oliveira Estudos em Homenagem a Luís António de Oliveira Ramos Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto, 2004, p. 805-814 As missões de Diogo Gomes de 1456 e 1460 Aurélio de Oliveira Diogo Gomes aparece-nos como uma das pedras mais determinantes de novas políticas e atitudes com que, a partir de certa altura, se passou a entender e encarar os contactos com as populações da Costa africana. Pouco se sabe deste homem. Até ao presente, nem lugar nem datas de nascimento nem o ano da sua morte. Não temos hoje grande dúvida que Diogo Gomes foi natural de Lagos. A referência indirecta à caravela que capitaneou, e com a qual integrou a expedição de Lançarote em 1445, assim o permite concluir1. Zurara refere, com efeito, o Picanso natural de Lagos (por duas vezes dizendo ter ele capitaneado uma caravela {Uma caravela de Tavira e outra de um homem de Lagos que se chamava o Picanço". Zurara não refere nenhuma das façanhas militares desse Picanço, contrariamente ao que nos conta dos outros - essencialmente envolvidos em acções de guerra2. Ora, Diogo Gomes não participou, de facto, nessas acções mas fez resgate a seu modo e, ao que se apercebe, sem grande violência. O que se apura é que o Picanço natural de Lagos não se chamava efectivamente Picanço, mas Diogo Gomes. A caravela que capitaneou nessa expedição, essa sim, teve por nome Picanço, (ou Piconso). Desde aí pelo menos se afirmaria como mercador. O seu nascimento deve ter ocorrido por volta de 1425.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract We present here evidence of pre-Portuguese presence in the Azores Islands, Portugal, found near the site of Grota do Medo (Posto Santo), discovered by Rodrigues (2013) in Terceira Island, Azores. This evidence was dated by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry, and indicates the presence of human activity in Terceira Island before or during the XIth century. The evidence consisted in a man-made rock basin, which was found in a site that contains also striking similarities with many other as- pects from ancient cultures, including other man-made rock basins, arrangements of large stones which resemble megalithic constructions, and inscriptions in stones which resemble ancient pe- troglyphs. Although the dating of this evidence is highly suggestive of the presence of human ac- tivity in the Azores Islands long before the arrival of the Portuguese navigators of the XVth century, there is no clear evidence which enables us to identify which specific culture may have existed in the Azores before the Portuguese arrival.

    A ORGANIZAÇÃO DA ROTA ATLÂNTICA DO OURO DA MINA E OS MECANISMOS DOS RESGATES. A ORGANIZAÇÃO DA ROTA. Estabelecidas as bases firmes de um comércio regular com os reinos negros da Senegâmbia e com as comunidades bérbe- res do Saara atlântico, Portugal mobilizou-se para completar a "captura" do ouro sudanês com a organização atlântica da rota da Mina.

  • O "Esmeraldo De Situ Orbis" De Duarte Pacheco Pereira Na História Da Cultura (*)
    O "ESMERALDO DE SITU ORBIS" DE DUARTE PACHECO PEREIRA NA HISTÓRIA DA CULTURA (*) . E' um fato incontestável que a História de Portugal, e até a História da Civilização Ibérica, avultam na História Uni- versal mercê dos Descobrimentos Marítimos e da Expansão dos séculos XV e XVI. Só os Descobrimentos e a Expansão puderam ter dado origem a algo de inteiramente nôvo na His- tória da Humanidade que tenha provindo de Portugal. Do primeiro quartel ao fim do século XV os portuguêses levam a cabo esta série de emprêsas, destinadas a revolucionar tôda a História da Humanidade . Uma nova literatura surge, graças a esta extraordinária aventura humana . Literatura a que poderemos chamar — se empregarmos esta palavra num sentido bem amplo e genérico — Literatura Portuguêsa de Via- gens. As primeiras emprêsas de descobrimento remontam ao pri- meiro quartel do século XV. As primeiras obras desta litera- tura surgem por meados dêste mesmo século. A consciência retarda sôbre a vida. Para que não sejamos levados a debruçar-nos sôbre uma longa e enfadonha lista de nomes e de títulos, concentremos as nossas atenções numa amostra que nos parece suficientemente representativa, e que nos é dada por aquilo a que poderemos chamar a Literatura Portuguêsa de Viagens da Época dos Des- cobrImentos, isto é, a Literatura Portuguêsa de Viagens da se- gunda metade do século XV e primeiros anos do século XVI. Mais precisamente: a Literatura Portuguêsa de Viagens que se estende de 1453, data de redação por Gomes Eanes de Zurara da Crônica dos feitos de Guiné, até 1508, data em que Duarte Pacheco Pereira abandonou inacabada a redação do seu Esme- raldo de situ orbis.

  • Portuguese Jews in Jacobean London by E
    Portuguese Jews in Jacobean London By E. R. Samuel1 PREFATORY NOTE IN 1609 the Tuscan and Venetian Ambassadors in London reported to their Governments on the expulsion from England of a colony of Portuguese secret Jews. Other readers of Dr. Cecil Roth's History of theJews in England may have been puzzled, as I was, on reading his account of the incident, to discover that there were at that time any secret Jews in England to expel. My own firstthought was of surprise that Portuguese Marranos should have been allowed into this country at all after the execution for treason in 1594 of Dr. Roderigo Lopes, Queen Elizabeth's physician, or after the Gunpowder Plot of 1606. Further investigation shewed that therewere other references, some already published, to a few Portuguese Jews in England after Queen Elizabeth's death. It ismy intention to attempt an assessment of the circumstances which brought theMarranos to England, and to submit some fresh data (some of my own finding, some from the unpublished papers of the late Lucien Wolf) which I hope will throw some light on the history, both of those Portuguese Jews who lived in London during the reign of James I, and of theMarrano communities in Antwerp and Amsterdam, whence most of them came. One feels diffident in attempting research on a period which immediately follows Lucien Wolf's most brilliant work on The Jews in Elizabethan England. Especially so, when one has been prevented by lack of free time from fully exploiting the available sources. For there is a wealth of unexplored material awaiting investigation in the legal, Admiralty and other National Records and this paper is not based on a comprehensive survey but on a few items which chanced to come to hand.

Hamilton James M. Rosenheim Head of Department, Donny L. Hamilton May 2008 Major Subject: Anthropology iii ABSTRACT The History and Development of Caravels. (May 2008) George Robert Schwarz, B.A., University of Cincinnati Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Luis Filipe Vieira de Castro An array of ship types was used during the European Age of Expansion (early 15th to early 17th centuries), but one vessel in particular emerges from the historical records as a harbinger of discovery: the caravel. The problem is that little is known about these popular ships of discovery, despite the fair amount of historical evidence that has been uncovered. How big were they? How many men did it take to operate such a vessel? What kind of sailing characteristics did they have? How and by whom were they designed? Where did they originate and how did they develop? These questions cannot be answered by looking at the historical accounts alone. For this reason, scholars must take another approach for learning about caravels by examining additional sources, namely ancient shipbuilding treatises, archaeological evidence, surviving archaic shipbuilding techniques, and iconographic representations from the past.

  • Cape Verde to Replace the Colonial Legacy
    (Re)claiming the Heritage: The Narratives of Manuel Veiga Gregory McNab Abstract. Manuel Veiga’s concern in Odjn d’Agu and Didrio das Ilhas is a specific Cape Verde to replace the colonial legacy. Odju d’Agu is a textual prescription for becoming Cape Verdean. It is rooted in the language and approach of Cape Verde’s oral storytelling tradition and framed with a tale-telling session to show that the tradition can serve to (dis)articulate the hierarchies of the past and point the way to a progressive future. Didrio das Ilhas is a textual itinerary for the discovery of Cape Verde. It imaginatively and poetically (re) invents a past for the archipelago that showcases the importance of Cape Verde’s African heritage and gives voice to Jorge Barbosa and a number of other Cape Verdean poets. In both of those texts, Manuel Veiga seeks to address the issue of a postcolonial identity for Cape Verde, (re)capture an historical initiative for the Cape Verdean community and (re)site Cape Verde as the locus of its own experience. Manuel Veiga has always vigorously advocated the unique features of Cape Verdean culture. Anyone who studies the Diskrison Strutural di Lingua Kaboverdianu and the Introducgao a Gramdtica do Crioulo', probes the essays in A Sementeira and in Africa, Voz di Povo, Fragmentos, Pre-Textos, and other periodicals; takes note of his work with the Instituto Nacional de Cultura and the Associa^ao de Escritores Caboverdianos, or follows his progress in the National Assembly knows this. This essay will argue that Odju dAgu and Didrio das Ilhas contribute by structuring a historically and linguistically spe- cific Cape Verde to supplant colonialism’s construct.
