Duarte Barbosa
Around 1480 - 1521
A Portuguese navigator. He worked at the Portuguese trading post in the port city of Canaan in southwestern India for 16 years from 1500, and participated in voyages to various parts of the Orient. His geographical work, Book of Duarte Barbosa (1518), which he wrote based on what he saw during that time, contains detailed records of the manners, customs, climate, geography, and products of various places from the east coast of Africa to India, the Spice Islands (the Maluku Islands), the Ryukyu Islands, and China. His book, along with the travelogue of the Italian Ludovico de Varthema, is an important record of the interest and knowledge of the Orient among Europeans at that time.
