Download or read book Prince Henry the Navigator written by Peter Edward Russell and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry the Navigator is a legendary, almost mythical, figure in late medieval history. Together with Columbus he was considered one of the progenitors of 'modernity', a man who dared to challenge the scientific assumptions of his age and by so doing was responsible for liberating Europeans from the geographical constraints which had bound them since the collapse of the Roman Empire. His image as imperialist and, above all, maritime, mathematical, and navigational pioneer has been slow to die. Yet there has been no English life of this 'hero of both science and of action' since Beazley's of 1895. This book, therefore, represents the first re-evaluation of his life in over a century. Peter Russell has made use of much recently published documentary evidence to provide an eloquent, sophisticated and highly readable account of Henry's life. While full attention is given to all aspects of his voyages of discovery in the African Atlantic, including their economic and cultural consequences and the difficult questions of international law and papal jurisdiction, Russell also examines in detail the other spheres of activity which contributed to his fame, or sometimes brought it into question

Download or read book A Wind from the North written by Ernle Bradford and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The captivating biography of Prince Henry of Portugal, the navigator and explorer who helped usher in the Age of Discovery. Before Columbus, Vespucci, and Sir Francis Drake, there was Henry the Navigator. Pirate hunter, intrepid explorer, and ship designer, the Portuguese prince was one of the great innovators who pioneered the Age of Discovery. In an effort to locate the mythic kingdom of Prester John, Prince Henry organized voyages into the Southern Atlantic and developed a new kind of ship, the caravel, specifically for the task. His explorations yielded riches and fame for Portugal, as well as the discovery of Madeira and the Canary Islands. Yet the scope of his contribution to the world is often overshadowed by other figures. In this expertly researched biography, Ernle Bradford brings to light the captivating tale of a pioneer who initiated an era of exploration and forever changed the course of history.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1868 edition. Excerpt: ... while utterly distinct from the earlier and more valuable manuscript documents, they precede the period of what, for want of a better word, I must call the authenticated discovery of Australia, i.e.} made by a known ship or navigator. The earliest authenticated discovery, in this sense of the word, was, till recently, supposed to have been made on the 18th of November, 1605, by the Dutch yacht, the Duyflien, which had been despatched from Bantam to explore the island of New Guinea, and which sailed along what was thought to be the west side of that country to 19 Q of south latitude. In the year 1861, however, it was my good fortune to light upon a manuscript mappemonde in the British Museum which enabled me to carry back that first authenticated discovery to the year 1601, and to transfer the honour thereof from the' Dutch to] the Portuguese, by whom the discovery, although unauthenticated by the known name of the ship or navigator, had been made, as I shall presently show, some seventy years before. On the mappe-monde in question was delineated the northwest portion of Australia, and on the extreme north was the following legend: " Nuca Antara foi descuberta o anno 1601 por mano {sic) el godhino de Evedia (sic) por mandado de (sic) Vico Bey Aives (sic) de Saldaha (sic): " which translated is: " Nuca Antara (the local name) was discovered in the year 1601 by Manoel Godinho de Eredia, by command of the Viceroy Ayres de Saldanha." Unfortunately, the map is only a copy, apparently, as I have since discovered from a letter addressed to Navarrete by the Vicomte de Santarem in 1835, of a map in a MS. Atlas, made in the 17th century by one Teixeira, and hence the blunders marked by " sic." For this reason I could only have adduced it for...
