Note 69 — GOMES EANNES DE AZURARA; (continued 3)
C. Raymond (Charles Raymond) Beazley translation
(p. 54). Curse ... of Cain.—For "Curse of Ham." Cf. Genesis ix, 25. "Cursed be Canaan: a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren." For this mediæval theory, used sometimes in justification of an African slave-trade, we may compare the language of Barros, quoted in note 81.
