Rulers of India: Albuquerque (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Rulers of India: Albuquerque
Diogo do Couto (1542 - 1616) was long employed in India, and had access to documents. He continued the work of Barros in the same style. His first Decade overlaps Barros, and his history goes from 1526 to 1600. The best edition is that published as a continuation of Barros, in fifteen volumes, Lisbon, 1778 - 1787.
Gaspar Correa (t at Goa between 1561 and 1583) went to India in 1514 and was Secretary to Albu querque. His Lendas da India treat the history of the Portuguese from 1497 to 1549, and was published for the first time at Lisbon, four volumes, 18 58 - 64. His chronology throughout differs much from Barros, and a critical comparison between them is much needed. A portion of this work has been translated by Lord Stanley of Alderley, for the Hakluyt Society, under the title of The Three Voyages of Vasco da Gama, and his Viceroyalty, 1869.
