Description

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 The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899, consists of 100 books containing published or previously unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. Gomes Eanes de Zurara (c.1410每1474) was a Portuguese writer appointed to chronicle the life of Prince Henry the Navigator (1394每1460) and the expeditions he sponsored. Zurara’s chronicle of the discovery of Guinea appeared in this two-volume English translation in 1896每1899. The editors’ preface includes an account of the voyages of exploration along the African coast sponsored by Prince Henry until 1448, together with biographical information about the author. Volume 2 contains chapters 41每97 of the Chronicle.
