Book excerpt: SUMMARY There is no doubt the story of Ferdinand Magellan is epic. And this book doesn't argue that point. Though there is a significant misconception about Magellan: He never circumnavigated the globe. In fact, he was roughly 1500 miles shy of it before he was justifiably hacked to pieces by King Lapu-Lapu. This book, Juan Sebastián Elcano, is about the man who rallied the men of the failing Magellan mission. It's about the captain who brought home the Victoria to complete the first circumnavigation of the globe; with one of five ships that set sail under Magellan in 1519. It's about Elcano, the Emperor who celebrated him, and the men who worked under him, against him, and beside him as he completed the world's greatest sailing adventure. The Spanish Armada de Molucca was commanded by six different men, at five different moments during the expedition - the most famous and first being Magellan. When Elcano took command, the expedition had only made it half way around the globe. His ship was falling apart. His men were ill. His route was through hostile enemy territory. Against all odds, he made it back with 17 men. This is that story...

Download or read book The Cosmographia of Sebastian M nster written by Matthew McLean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sebastian Münster's Cosmographia was an immensely influential book that attempted to describe the entire world across all of human history and analyse its constituent elements of geography, history, ethnography, zoology and botany. First published in 1544 it went through thirty-five editions and was published in five languages, making it one of the most important books of the Reformation period. Beginning with a biographical study of Sebastian Münster, his life and the range of his scholarly work, this book then moves on to discuss the genre of cosmography. The bulk of the book, however, deals with the Cosmographia itself, offering a close reading of the 1550 Latin edition (the last and definitive edition worked upon by Münster). By analysing the contents of the Cosmographia it attempts to recreate how the world of the sixteenth century appeared to a scholar living in Basel, and understand what he saw and heard. Through this examination of Münster, his publications and scholarly networks, the conflicts and continuities between medieval scholarly traditions and the widening horizons of the sixteenth century are explored and revealed. Of interest to scholars of humanist culture, the Reformation and book history, this ambitious work throws into relief previously overlooked aspects of the intellectual and religious culture of the time.

Download or read book The First Circumnavigators written by Harry Kelsey and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior histories of the first Spanish mariners to circumnavigate the globe in the sixteenth century have focused on Ferdinand Magellan and the other illustrious leaders of these daring expeditions. Harry Kelsey's masterfully researched study is the first to concentrate on the hitherto anonymous sailors, slaves, adventurers, and soldiers who manned the ships. The author contends that these initial trans global voyages occurred by chance, beginning with the launch of Magellan's armada in 1519, when the crews dispatched by the king of Spain to claim the Spice Islands in the western Pacific were forced to seek a longer way home, resulting in bitter confrontations with rival Portuguese. Kelsey's enthralling history, based on more than thirty years of research in European and American archives, offers fascinating stories of treachery, greed, murder, desertion, sickness, and starvation but also of courage, dogged persistence, leadership, and loyalty.
