Añadir al carritoFirst edition of the English translation of the notable biography of the fourth viceroy of Portuguese India, D. João de Castro (Lisbon, 1500 - Goa, 1548). De Castro was a renowned 16th-century Portuguese nobleman, scientist, naval officer, and writer. As a young man, he studied under the famous Portuguese mathematician and cosmo…grapher Pedro Nunes together with Luis, Duke of Beja, the second son of King Manuel I of Portugal. They became lifelong friends and Castro also accompanied Dom Luis to the siege of Tunis in 1535.De Castro sailed with, served under, and was connected to several prominent 16th-century Portuguese (noble-) men. His uncle, Garcia de Noronha, was the third viceroy of India, with whom he first sailed for India in the late 1530s. There, De Castro participated in the relief of Diu, which was besieged as part of the struggle for the possession of Diu and its fort due to its strategic importance as an outpost and dominance in that part of Portuguese India. He was responsible for the overthrow of Mahmud, King of Gujarat, whose interests threatened the Portuguese control of Goa coast. Furthermore, De Castro also served under Estêvão da Gama, second son of the famous Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, on expeditions to Suez and the Red Sea. Back in Portugal, in 1543, he was named commander of a fleet sent to clear Atlantic Europe of pirates, and two years later was sent with a fleet of six ships back to the East, where he was rewarded with the positions of governor and viceroy of Portuguese India. Unlike previous governors and viceroys of India, De Castro was actively interested in Indian culture and religion. De Castro was possibly also connected to Saint Francis Xavier, who served in the Jesuit mission in Portuguese India in the 1540s, as he was supposed to have died in Xavier's arms in 1548.During his travels between Portugal and India, including the expeditions he undertook with Da Gama along the Arabian coasts and to Egypt, De Castro collected important navigational, geographical and hydrographical information about these areas, which he presented in three "rutters" or itineraries/logbooks (in Portuguese: roteiros): Roteiro de Lisboa a Goa about his first voyage to India in 1538, Roteiro de Goa a Diu (written around 1539, regarding De Castro's rescue fleet relieving the Gujurati-Ottoman siege of the Portuguese fortress of Diu, and Roteiro do Mar Roxo (the Red Sea between East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula was then known as the "purple sea" - Mar Roxo). In his first rutter, De Castro recorded values of magnetic declination in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, which he obtained through experiments with a magnetic needle on board. This early observation of the phenomenon of magnetic declination in the sixteenth century was useful for the study of terrestrial magnetism in later centuries.The hinges are somewhat weakened, the boards are slightly rubbed, both pastedowns have come loose from the inside of the boards, revealing an inscription on the inside of the front board in brown ink "H. 1. 13 [crossed out]" and "C 7. 18", and an inscription in brown ink on the recto of the front paste-down "E F G H". Some occasional, very minor foxing, the foot edge of the 15 leaves is very slightly damages, not affecting the text in any way. Overall in good condition.l ESTC R7129 (17 copies in the UK & US); Wing F 2155; WorldCat 835169356 (1 copy), 1064239444 (1 copy), 643713038 (1 copy), 1378914397 (1 copy); cf.

D. João de Castro (1500-1548) foi um oficial da marinha e mais tarde vice-rei da Índia Portuguesa. Em 1538 efectuou a sua primeira viagem à Índia, chegando a Goa e iniciando de imediato a defesa de Diu. Castro foi responsável pelo derrube de Mahmud, rei de Gujarat, cujos interesses ameaçavam o controlo português da costa de Goa. As suas viagens levaram-no às costas da Arábia, e esta biografia contém muitos pormenores sobre a Península Arábica, especialmente sobre Áden e o caminho marítimo para Meca, do qual fez um levantamento gráfico (vide Roteiro e Tabuas Mar Roxo). Castro morreu em Goa em 1548 onde foi inicialmente sepultado, mas os seus restos mortais foram mais tarde exumados e trasladados para Portugal.

Primeira edição inglesa desta obra com grande interesse internacional, muito rara quando completa e em bom estado. Livro muito popular, uma das obras-primas em prosa da literatura portuguesa e, ao mesmo tempo, uma importante fonte histórica sobre a guerra e o cerco à cidade de Diu, atestada pelas inúmeras edições e pelas traduções para inglês e latim que teve (em latim pelo jesuíta P.

O Segundo Cerco à fortaleza portuguesa de Diu pelas forças do sultanato do Guzerate, capitaneadas por Coge Sofar, mercador e senhor de Surrate, teve lugar entre Abril e Novembro de 1546. Este acontecimento de incontestável importância para o ?Estado da Índia?, definiu a governação do Vice-Rei D. João de Castro (1545-1548) e representou a derradeira tentativa Guzerate para retomar a fortaleza de Diu, anteriormente entregue aos portugueses em 1535. Coge Sofar, cujo retrato figura nesta obra, era senhor de Cambaia e aliado aos turcos de Sulimão Paxá. Foi derrotado pelos portugueses no segundo cerco de Diu, comandados em terra por D. João de Mascarenhas e por mar por D. João de Castro. Pereceu nesta luta o próprio Coge Sofar e D. Fernando de Castro, filho do Vice-Rei português. Jacinto Freire de Andrade (Beja, 1597 ? Lisboa, 1657) foi presbítero secular, historiador, bacharel em Cânones pela Universidade de Coimbra e um poeta barroco. In folio (28.5x19 cm) with [20], 272, [19] pp. Binding: Contemporary one quarter bound in leather with contemporary decorative paper on boards. Very rare first English edition of what is considered one of the classics of the Portuguese literature (Cf. Brunet I, 263) translated by Sir Peter Wyche. The Life of the Portuguese Vice-Roy of India Dom João de Castro, written by demand of Jacinto Freyre de Andrade, was printed the first time by order of his grandson, Bishop Francisco de Castro, in Lisbon, in 1651 (13 years before this English edition with the patronage of Queen Catherine of England, a Portuguese princess married to King Charles II). Illustrated with engraved portrait of D. João de Castro, and his coat-of-arms. Engraved plate hors-text (p. 36-37) reproduces the Altar of the Apostle S. Thomas in Meliapor, and its inscriptions in Sanskrit language, which already existed at the time of the Portuguese arrival in India. A proof of Christianity not related to colonial era. Also a fine metal engraving map in double folio (between pages 72 and 73) not included in the Portuguese editions, depicting the Fortress of Diu. This work had a later Latin edition in 1727. Work on the war and siege of the Indian city of Diu and the defeat of the Army and Muslin Fleet, which is one of the most celebrated heroic deeds of the Portuguese in India. The Second Siege of the Portuguese fortress of Diu, between April and November of 1546, laid by the forces of the Sultanate of Gujarat, commanded by Khwaja Safar, merchant and lord of Surat was of undeniable importance to the Portuguese 'State of India'. It defined part of the government of Vice-Roy D. João de Castro (1545-1548) and represented the last Gujarati attempt to retake the fortress of Diu, first taken by the Portuguese in 1535. Includes an account of the battles of Ormuz between the Turks and the Arabs. D. João de Castro (1500-1548) was a naval officer and later the Viceroy of Portuguese India. In 1538 he embarked on his first voyage to India, arriving in Goa and immediately starting the defence of Diu. Castro was responsible for the overthrow of Mahmud, King of Gujarat, whose interests threatened the Portuguese control of Goa coast. His voyages took him to the coasts of Arabia, and this biography contains many details about the Arabian Peninsula, especially about Aden and the sea route to Mecca, of which he made a graphical survey (vide Roteiro and Tabuas Mar Roxo). Castro died in Goa in 1548 and was initially buried there, but his remains were exhumed and transferred to Portugal.

"The next three years were the hardest and most brilliant, as they were the last, of his lifeÑyears of battle and struggle, of glory and sorrow, of suffering and triumph. Valiantly seconded by his sons (one of whom, Ferno, was killed before Diu)É de Castro achieved such popularity by the overthrow of Mahmud, king of Gujarat, by the relief of Diu, and by the defeat of the great army of the Adil Khan, that he could contract a very large loan with the Goa merchants on the simple security of his moustache.
