First published in 1930.
'The Broadway Travellers consolidates its already high reputation
by issuing this volume...' Spectator
This is the first translation of the Commentarios since original
publication in 1647. Copies of the original are very rare yet the
work covers an historically significant period, describing the
operations leading up to the capture from the Portuguese of Ormuz,
in the Persian Gulf, by an Anglo-Persian force. Of importance in
the history of the rise of the Indian Empire, this is the first
printed account of the Portuguese version of the affair.
The appendices include many previously unpublished Portuguese
documents, the most important of which is the full Journal of
Edward Monnox, who was present throughout the operations.
