About This Item
Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989. First Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/VG+. xlvi, 663 pp. Yellow cloth. Edited and translated from the Portuguese by Rebecca D. Catz. This edition is the first complete English translation, and the first critical edition in any language, of the most important literacy work of the Portuguese Renaissance, an adventure tale of battles, shipwrecks, and piracy, of Oriental cultures and lives of saints. Including notes, glossaries, gazetteer, and bibliography. Numerous maps and illustrations. This work was first published in English in 1653. An exotic and imaginative composite of fact and fiction, it purports to be Pinto's autobiographical account of his travels in Asia. A satirical work, it represents a sweeping condemnation of the ideology of the crusade. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket.
