1497‐1562 Portuguese historian. Born the son of a court official, he was raised and educated at the court. He was a capable high-ranking official, but was also an excellent writer and a typical intellectual of the Portuguese Renaissance. His main work as a historian is the four-volume History of Asia (1552-1615). This was to form part of a vast encyclopedic work that he himself envisioned. His aim was to create a monument to the Portuguese achievements in the East, and he argued that the Portuguese expansion into the East was a crusade that was an extension of the war of recovery on the Iberian Peninsula.

1497‐1562 ポルトガルの歴史家。宮廷役人の子として生まれ,宮廷で育てられ教育を受けた。高級官吏としても有能であったが,すぐれた文筆家でもあり,ポルトガル・ルネサンス期の典型的な知識人でもあった。〈歴史家〉としての彼の主著は《アジア史》4巻(1552‐1615)である。これは,彼自身の構想になる膨大な百科全書的作品の一部をなすはずのものであった。その目的は東洋におけるポルトガル人の事績をたたえる記念碑たらしめることであり,ポルトガル人による東洋進出はイベリア半島における国土回復戦争の延長線上にある〈十字軍運動〉であるとする主張に立っている。 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について 情報 |
