The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This volume, published in 1862, contains a sixteenth-century Portuguese text first published in translation by Hakluyt himself in 1601; both the original Portuguese and a modified version of Hakluyt's translation are given on each page. The author, António Galvano (1503–1557), distinguished himself as Governor of the Moluccas, but fell out of favour on his return to Portugal and died in poverty. His book traces the history of exploration from 'the time of the Flood' to 1555.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Epistle dedicatorie\u003cbr\u003e Discoveries in different times and seasons, and about those who first travelled\u003cbr\u003e Discoveries of the Antilles and Indies made by the Spaniards.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Geography [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Geography\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Geography%20%5BRG%5D%22\"\u003eRG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265924780312,"sku":"9781108010429","price":24.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108010429i_283f7bd5-e1ae-4ac3-9f15-564917670ae2.jpg?v=1694867499","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/discoveries-of-the-world-from-their-first-original-unto-the-year-of-our-lord-1555-paperback-9781108010429","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
