A Description of the Coasts of East Africa and Malabar in the Beginning of the Sixteenth Century

Note 139 — DESCRIPTION OF THE EAST INDIES AND COUNTRIES ON THE SEABORD OF THE INDIAN OCEAN IN 1514. [3] (continued 2)

Henry Edward John Stanley Stanley translation

This passage seems to fix the date of this work as previous to 1515, since in that year the Portuguese made themselves masters of Diu, in which they built a fortress in 1536. (Diccion. Geog. Universal, Barcelona, 1831.)
