FOOTNOTES:
[1] See Appendix V, pp. 392–396, to De Morga’s _Philippine
Islands_, Hakluyt Society, with respect to the negotiations about
the Moluccas.
[2] This opinion may be recommended to those who war on “pious
founders”.
[3] Thus Hazelrigg, Hampden, Cromwell, and Pym, _are said_ to have
been prevented by the Government from emigrating to New England
in 1638. See Palfrey’s _Hist. of New England_, vol. i, pp. 502,
503.
[4] “Escoras.”
[5] “Perdeo sua pobreza.”
[6] “Moradia.”
[7] Albuquerque did not arrive before Goa till the 24th November.
Correa, tom. II, p. 145.
[8] A facsimile of this signature is given in the plate.
[9] This document has been abridged here; it is taken from a copy
in the Torre do Tombo, made from another copy, which is very
illegible. The Spanish is rather antiquated, and much debased,
apparently by Portuguese copyists, who have mixed up their own
orthography. The Secretary’s name was Francisco, not Fernan.
[10] From this it appears that Magellan anticipated that America would
end like Africa.
[11] D. Jorge of Portugal, Bishop of Siguenza.
[12] The date of the year is not given; however, as the despatch
mentions this year as the year of the marriage, it must be
assumed to have been written in 1518. D. Manuel married the
daughter of Philip I, Da. Leonor, in Villa do Crato, 24th
November, 1518. The treaty of the marriage was made at Saragossa
22nd May, 1518, and ratified in Saragossa 16th July, 1518.
[13] Literally, the road to Coimbra.
[14] Meaning, he could become a hermit.
[15] This contemporary document confirms Osorio as to the cause of
Magellan’s being disgusted with the King of Portugal; some
historians have represented the quarrel as arising from a
distribution of plundered cattle. Gaspar Correa uses a similar
phrase to that in this despatch, “a hundred reis, more or less”.
[16] Compare this statement with that in the second line of the fifth
paragraph of this despatch.
[17] Diego Ribeiro was, later, the cosmographer of Charles V, and,
with Martin Centurion in 1524, he translated into Spanish the
Book of Duarte Barbosa and Magellan on the coasts of the Indian
Ocean.
[18] _Id est_, never be heard of again. See Major’s _Pce. Henry_, p.
374.
[19] The fame of Vasco da Gama.
[20] The nymphs of the _Ilha namorada_, or Fame.
