[472] In Nordenskiöld’s _Atlas_ will be found facsimiles of these maps. [473] Instead of a full translation of the two documents on this subject, which are printed as an appendix to the original edition of the _Roteiro_, we have given abstracts of all the available documents bearing upon it. Most of these will be found _in extenso_ in Teixeira de Aragão’s _Vasco da Gama e a Vidigueira_ (Boletim, Lisbon Geogr. Soc., 1886, pp. 541-702); Luciano Cordeiro’s _De come e quando foi feito Conde Vasco da Gama_ (Boletim, 1892, pp. 257-303); and Cordeiro’s _O Premio da Descoberta_, Lisbon, 1897. [474] The original document bestowing this title is not available, but the King makes use of it in his Order of Nov. 19th, 1501. [475] Compare Document 18 at end of this Appendix. [476] See also Documents 10 and 11. [477] Peragallo, _Carta de El-Rei D. Manuel ao Rei Catholico_, Lisbon, 1892, p. 89. Leonardo Masser describes the Admiral as being ill-tempered and unreasonable, and as exhibiting but little gratitude in return for the favours conferred upon him by the King. [478] Peragallo, _loc. cit._, p. 92. The highest incomes were enjoyed by the Duke of Coimbra (16,000 cruz.), the Duke of Bragança (16,000 cruz.), the Bishop of Evora (12,000 cruz.), the Marquis of Villa Real and the Archbishop of Lisbon (10,000 cruz. each). [479] Cordeiro, _Boletim_, 1892, p. 285. [480] Quoted by teixeira de Aragão, p. 572, from a document in the Torre do Tombo. [481] teixeira de Aragão, p. 573. [482] This document was first printed as an Appendix to the second edition of the _Roteiro_, and has since been published as an Appendix to Lord Stanley of Alderley’s _Vasco da Gama_, and in _Alguns Documentos_, p. 127. Its provisions were confirmed in favour of D. Francisco da Gama by King John III, May 4th, 1526 (Cordeiro, _O Premio da Descoberta_, pp. 48-55.) [483] In 1434 (not 1433) Gil Eanes doubled Cape Bojador. [484] In 1482 Diogo Cão discovered the Congo. We ought evidently to read 1488, for the Congo is only 1,240 leagues from Lisbon, whilst the 1,885 leagues actually carry us to the Rio do Infante. The name is thus spelt in this document as if the river had been named in honour of Prince Henry, and not after João Infante, the companion of Dias. [485] Published _in extenso_ in the 2nd edition of the _Roteiro_, p. 175. [486] Departure from Lisbon, February 10, 1502; return, September 1, 1503. [487] About _£_900. The King had this gold converted into a “custodia”, which he presented to the church of Belem. [488] Cordeiro, Boletim, 1892, p. 287. [489] Teixeira de Aragão, p. 675. [490] Leonardo da Chá Maser calls him “discreet and experienced, although quite illiterate” (see Peragallo, _Carta de El-Rei D. Manuel_, Lisbon, 1892, p. 89). [491] This Gama was the third son of the first Vasco, and consequently an uncle of the Admiral. He was Comptroller of the Revenues (“casa da fazenda”) of the Order.
