The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made
available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of
exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899,
consists of 100 books containing published or previously
unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir
Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and
Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This volume, published in
1862, contains a sixteenth-century Portuguese text first published
in translation by Hakluyt himself in 1601; both the original
Portuguese and a modified version of Hakluyt's translation are
given on each page. The author, Ant nio Galvano (1503 1557),
distinguished himself as Governor of the Moluccas, but fell out of
favour on his return to Portugal and died in poverty. His book
traces the history of exploration from 'the time of the Flood' to
1555.
