Opis: Records of South-Eastern Africa, Vol. 7 (Classic Reprint) - Theal George McCall
Excerpt from Records of South-Eastern Africa, Vol. 7
[This book is one of the chief sources of information upon the Portuguese and the Bantu tribes in South-Eastern Africa during the last years of the sixteenth century. It is a quarto volume in two parts, together five hundred and forty-six pages in double columns, printed in the Dominican convent at Evora in 1609. In the sixteenth volume of Pinkerton's General Collection of the best and most interesting Voyages and Travels in all Parts of the World, London, 1808 to 1814, there is a translation of a short French abstract of Dos Santos' book, but it is so defective as to be of little value. I give here everything in the original volume except what relates to some shipwrecks and to matters not concerning South-Eastern Africa. The text has been copied from an edition published at Lisbon in 1891, in which the spelling has been modernised, but the translation has been made from the Evora edition of 1609. - G. M. T.]
