The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India.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 1874 volume contains an account of the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1519–1522 by Antonio Pigafetta, a Venetian member of Magellan's expedition. It also contains Pigafetta's treatise on navigation, and other material relating to Magellan's voyage, including log-books, records by the pilot and others, and details of the crew and the cost of the fleet. Pigafetta vividly recorded the geography, climate, flora, fauna and the inhabitants of the places that the expedition visited, as well as Magellan's death in the Philippines.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e The Genoese pilot's account of Magellan's voyage\u003cbr\u003e Narrative of the anonymous Portuguese\u003cbr\u003e Pigafetta's account of Magellan's voyage\u003cbr\u003e Pigafetta's treatise of navigation\u003cbr\u003e Names of the first circumnavigators\u003cbr\u003e Magellan's order of the day in the Straits\u003cbr\u003e Letter of Maximiliarn, the Transylvan\u003cbr\u003e Log-book of Francisco Alvo or Alvaro\u003cbr\u003e Account of the 'Trinity' and her crew\u003cbr\u003e Account of the mutiny in Port St. Julian, and Gaspar Correa's account of the voyage\u003cbr\u003e Cost of Magellan's fleet\u003cbr\u003e Appendix\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Early modern history: c 1450\/1500 to c 1700\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Early%20modern%20history:%20c%201450\/1500%20to%20c%201700%20%5BHBLH%5D%22\"\u003eHBLH\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":45913081184536,"sku":"9781108011433","price":33.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108011433i_70fd6475-ab8b-4dc5-8685-0b9fe5a8aa13.jpg?v=1694866799","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/first-voyage-round-the-world-by-magellan-translated-from-the-accounts-of-pigafetta-and-other-contemporary-writers-paperback-9781108011433","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
