[186] His son Fernam de Pina became _Cronista Môr_ in 1523. The immediate successor of Zurara as _Cronista Môr_ was VASCO FERNANDEZ DE LUCENA, whose life must have coincided almost exactly with the sixteenth century. He represented King Duarte at the Council of Basel in 1435, and according to Barbosa Machado, who calls him _um dos varões mais famosos da sua idade assim na profundidade da litteratura como na eloquencia da frase_, he was still living in 1499. Unfortunately none of his works have survived. His manuscript translation of Cicero’s _De Senectute_ and other works were destroyed in the Lisbon earthquake (1755). [187] Much later, in the first third of the seventeenth century, CASPAR DIAZ DE LANDIM wrote a _copiosa relação_ from a point of view unfavourable to D. Pedro and dedicated it to the Duke of Braganza: _O Infante D. Pedro, Chronica Inedita_, 3 vols. (1893-4). [188] _Tudo o contheudo no siguiente trautado eu o uy e ouuy_ (1911 ed., p. 2). [189] 1911 ed., p. 117: Ichoa (= Blind). The fact that no other name is given shows that then as now Basques were known by their nicknames. The same name figures in ‘Pierre Loti’s’ _Ramuntcho_ (1897): Itchoua. In the sixteenth century Martim Ichoa and João de Ychoa appear among the _moradores_ of King Manuel’s household (1518). The substantive _ichó_ (= _armadilha_), derived from _ostiolum_, is used by Diogo Fernandez Ferreira (_Arte da Caça_) and Garcia de Resende (_Cron. João II_). [190] The extremely interesting list of his important library has been published in _Provas Genealogicas_, i. 544, in the 1842 ed. of _Leal Conselheiro_, and edited by Dr. T. Braga in _Historia da Univ. de Coimbra_, i. 209. It contained _O Acypreste de Fysa_ (= the Archpriest of Hita) and _O Amante_, i. e. the translation by Robert Payne, Canon of Lisbon, of Gower’s _Confessio Amantis_. [191] p. 9, _Fiz tralladar em el alguus capitullos doutros livros_: the _Vita Christi_, St. Thomas Aquinas, Diogo Afonso Mangancha on Prudence, Cicero, _De Officiis_, St. Gregory. [192] It contains papers written at various times (between 1428 and 1438). The date 1435 occurs p. 474. Cf. p. 169, King João I (†1433), _cuja alma Deos aja_. [193] His modern editor, José Ignacio Roquette (1801-70), comments (p. 37) on the passage _he bem de lavrar e criarem_ as a great grammatical _discordancia_ and _erro_, but it is by no means certain that King Duarte did not omit one of the personal infinitives deliberately, for the sake of euphony, as the _-mente_ is omitted in the case of two or more adverbs. [194] _Corregendo e acrecentando o que entendeo ser compridoiro acabou o liuro adeante scripto._ [195] Damião de Goes (_Cr. do Pr. D. Joam_, cap. 88) says 1476. His father Diogo Fernandez was _Reposteiro Môr_ at the Court of King Duarte, and his mother a half-sister of the Archbishop of Braga. One of his sons was the famous and unfortunate Viceroy of India (1505-9), D. Francisco de Almeida.
