Note 37 — GOMES EANNES DE AZURARA;
C. Raymond (Charles Raymond) Beazley translation
The Prince was said especially to wish for Venetians to enter his service, as they knew more about the spice trade than anyone; and he was convinced that his expeditions would ultimately find spices (i.e., in India). As to Vicente Diaz, cf. Azurara's Guinea, chs. lx, lviii, etc.
