Note 7 — I. Exploration by the Portuguese of the Western Coast of Africa and Discovery of the Cape of Good Hope, including a short Sketch of the early History of Portugal.

See the numerous statements concerning this mythical monarch made by the early Portuguese writers, copied by me and printed, together with English translations, in volumes i, iii, v, vi, and vii of the Records of South-Eastern Africa. Ultimately the name was applied to the ruler of Abyssinia. Index, Prester John, in Vol. ix, page 474.
