THE DISCOVERIES of the World from their first originall vnto the yeere of our Lord 1555. Briefly written in the Portugall tongue by ANTONIE GALVANO Gouernour of Ternate the chiefe Island of the Malucos Corrected quoted and now published in English by Richard Hakluyt sometimes student of Christchurch in Oxford LONDINI Impensis G. Bishop 1601. TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE SIR Robert Cecill Knight principall Secretarie to her Maiestie Master of the Court of VVards and Liueries the woorthy Chancellour of the Vniuersitie of Cambridge and one of her Maiesties most honorable priuie Counsell RIght Honorable while I went about to publish our English Voyages and Discoueries I was aduised by master WALTER COPE a gentleman of rare and excellent parts to draw them into a short sum adding that in his opinion that course woulde prooue most acceptable to the world especially to men of great action and employment Although in that worke then vnder the presse I could not conueniently alter my course yet holding his aduise as in many things else so in this for sound and very good I heere present vnto your Honour a briefe Treatie most agreeable to the same The authour whereof was one Antonie Galuano a Portugall gentleman of whose pietie towards God equitie towards men fidelity to his Prince loue to his countrey skill in sea causes experience in Histories liberalitie towards his nation vigilance valour wisedome and diligence in restoring setling the decaied state of The Isles of Maluco where he remained sixe or seuen yeeres gouernour if it please your Honour to read Fernando Lopez de Castagneda or Ioannes Maffeius in their Histories of The East Indies you shall finde more written in his singular commendation then a large Epistle can well comprehend The worke though s●all in bulke containeth so much rare and profitable matter as I know not where to seeke the like within so narrow and streite a compasse For heerein is orderly declared who were The first Discouerours of the world since the time of the flood by what waies from age to age the spicerie drugs and riches of the East were conueied into The West what were the causes of the alterations of those courses as namely the changes of Empires and gouernments The ceasing of all trafficke for many yeeres by The Gothes inuasion of the Romane Empire The rising vp of The Mahumetane sect with their ouerrunning of Afrike and Spaine The renewing againe after many yeeres disturbance of the trafficke and entercourse of The East Indies first by the Califas of the aforesaid sect and eftsoones by The Venetians Ienowais and Florentines Then followeth the taking of Ceuta in Barbarie by Iohn the first king of Portugall of that name in the yeere of our Lord 1415. whose third sonne Don Henry which he had by the vertuous Ladie Philippa daughter of Iohn of Gante and sister to Henry the fourth king of England was the first beginner of all the Portugall discoueries and continued the same for the space of fortie and three yeeres euen to his dying day By whose encouragement the kings of Portugall found out with much patience and constancie the last way of the bringing the Spicerie into Europe by The Cape of Buona Sperança and for these hundred yeeres past haue become the chiefe Lords of the riches of the Orient By emulation of which their good endeuours The Antiles and The west Indies began to be discouered by The kings of Spaine The infancies of both which most important enterprises The progresse of the same from time to time the discoueries of Islands riuers baies and harbours of many rich prouinces kingdomes and countries The erecting of castles in sundry conuenient Islands and places with the drawing of trafficke vnto the same where when by whom and by whose authority is heere succinctly and faithfully recorded So that if it please your Honour at your conuenient leisure to take a sea card or a mappe of the world and carie your eie vpon the coast of Africa from Cape de Non lying on the mayne in 29. degrees of northerly latitude and follow the shore about the Cape of Buona Sperança till you come to the mouth of The Redde Sea and passing thence along by the countrey of Arabia crosse ouer to India and doubling Cape Comory compasse the gulfe of Bengala shooting by the citie of Malacca through The streite of Cincapura coast al the south of Asia to the northeast part of China and comprehend in this view all the Islands from The Açores and Madera in the West to The Malucoes The Philippinas and Iapan in the East you shall heere finde by order who were the first discouerours conquerours and planters in euery place as also the natures and commodities of the soyles togither with the forces qualities and conditions of the inhabitants And that which I mention of the Orient is likewise to be vnderstood of The Occident Now touching the translation it may please you sir to be aduertised that it was first done into our language by some honest and well affected marchant of our nation whose name by no meanes I could attaine vnto and that as it seemeth many yeeres ago For it hath lien by me aboue these twelue yeeres In all which space though I haue made much inquirie and sent to Lisbon where it seemeth it was printed yet to this day I could neuer obtaine the originall copie whereby I might reforme the manifold errours of the translator For whereas a good translator ought to be well acquainted with the proprietie of the tongue out of which and of that into which he translateth and thirdly with the subiect or matter it selfe I found this translator very defectiue in all three especially in the last For the supplying of whose defects I had none other remedie but to haue recourse vnto the originall histories which as it appeereth are very many and many of them exceeding rare and hard to come by out of which the authour himselfe drew the greatest part of this discourse And in very deede it cost me more trauaile to search out the grounds thereof and to annexe the marginall quotations vnto the worke then the translation of many such bookes would haue put me vnto Of which quotations there is yet a farther vse to wit that such as haue leasure sufficient and are desirous to reade these things more at large for breuitie oftentimes breedeth obscuritie may fully satisfie their desires by hauing recourse by the helpe therof to the pure fountaines out of which those waters which are drawne are for the most part most sweete and holsome Now if any man shall maruel that in these Discoueries of The World for the ●pace almost of fower thousand yeeres here set downe our nation is scarce fower times mentioned Hee is to vnderstand that when this authour ended this discourse which was about the yeere of Grace 1555. there was little extant of our mens trauailes And for ought I can see there had no great matter yet come to
