Note 184 — Chapter V
Hugh J. C. Beavan translation
Emanuel Zobrega wrote to the Company from Brazil, in 1552:—“The inhabitants acknowledge Saint Thomas, whom they call Zomé (changing the Th into Z, according to their dialect); and they have a tradition that he once journeyed through this country.” His letter is fully given by Nieremberg, Historia Naturæ, fol., Antuerpiæ, 1635.
