The first voyage round the world, by Magellan : $b translated from the accounts of Pigafetta, and other contemporary writers
Pigafetta, Antonio
Magalhães, Fernão de, -1521; Voyages around the world -- Early works to 1800
[78] Paris MS.: “which is named Cagujam, and is in seven degrees; from
this they went on further to the West North-west.” _Lisbon Ac.
note._ Madrid MS. seven degrees.
[79] Paris MS., “to the North-east.” Madrid MS., “North-east.” The
Lisbon Academy copyist has North-west, and has mistaken the Paris
MS. on this point.
[80] This position seems to indicate the island of Palavan, which
Pigafetta places in 9 deg. 20 min. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[81] Paris MS., “Degameāo.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS., “Dygamçam.”
[82] Paris MS., “ypalajra cara canāo.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read this,
“y palay cu cara canāo:” the Madrid MS. has “fulay cucara cabam.”
The word _palay_, Tagal for rice, and the next sentence in the
text seem to indicate that an offer to trade was mistaken for the
name of this island.
[83] Paris MS., “one hundredweight and fourteen pounds.” _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[84] Paris MS., “Digaçāo;” it is also written Digamcā and Digāçā.
_Lisbon Ac. note._
[85] Paris MS., “21st day of June.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS.,
“21st day of June.”
[86] Paris MS. “The island to the North is named Bolava, and that to
the South Bamdill.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ Madrid MS., “Bolina and
Bamdill.”
[87] Paris MS., “the neighbourhood of the port of Borneo.” _Lisbon Ac.
note._
[88] Paris MS., “Gonzalo Gomez Despinosa.”
[89] Paris MS., “with seventeen men.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ I read
twenty-seven in the Paris MS.
[90] _Sem se aproveitar nada delle_, or, without their having made any
use of it.
[91] Paris MS. “And so remained a matter of fourteen hours, for it was
low water, by which it was clearly seen that the tide was of
fourteen hours.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[92] Paris MS., “Cagamja.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[93] Paris MS., “Solloque.” _Ibid._
[94] Paris MS., “Tamgyma.” _Ibid._
[95] Paris MS., “Sagu.” _Ibid._
[96] Paris MS., “Samyns.” _Ibid._
[97] Paris MS., “light.” _Lisbon Ac. note._ The Paris MS. seems to me
to have “fresquo,” and not “ffraquo.”
[98] Paris MS., “Calibes.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[99] Paris MS., “five hundred.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[100] Paris MS., “in these discussions.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[101] Paris MS. “of Tidore.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[102] Pigafetta says: “On Friday, 8th of November, 1521, three hours
before sunset, we entered the port of an island called Tadore
... 27 months less two days had passed that we had been seeking
Maluco.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[103] Pigafetta puts this island in 0 deg. 27 min. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[104] In the Paris MS. this word _tem_ is wanting. _Lisbon Ac. note._
[105] Paris MS., “another bahar.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
[106] Paris MS., “Tarnate.” _Lisbon Ac. note._
