Portuguese printed rutters (17th–18th centuries)
Curated by Luana Giurgevich
In a context where knowledge was reported mostly by word of mouth, the action of writing itself assumes significant meaning. Over the years, the pilots’ routine task of remembering oceanic routes became a well–defined textual genre. The majority of these documents remained unpublished until the 19 century, but there is an important number of them which started to be printed in Europe for a larger audience from the 16 century. In this section, we gather all Portuguese editions of nautical rutters.

Jan Huygen van Linschoten’s Itinerario
Editions & translations (1596–1668)
Curated by Nuno Vila–Santa
Linschoten’s Itinerario fascinated European readers of his times and continues to provide a wealth of details about Portuguese sea routes and trade to India. The book quickly turned into several editions (around 30) and became a 17th–century best–seller of maritime literature. Sailors used it as a navigation manual and this is the reason why it was shipped on board Dutch, English and French vessels.

Jesuit travel reports
«Nous établîmes des conférences où l’on apprenoit les élemens d’Euclide, la Geometrie, la navigation, et quelque chose même des fortifications. Ainsi que dans tous nos Vaisseaux nous tachâmes de charmer l’ennuy d’une longue navigation, et encore plus d’en bannir l’oisiveté, qui est la source de tous les desordres. Reprenons le cours de nôtre voyage.»
Père Tachard, Second voyage du père Tachard au Royaume de Siam (1689)

Jesuit travel reports concerning oceanic sailing
Curated by David Salomoni
This selection contains texts related to oceanic voyages made by members of religious orders, mainly Jesuits but also Franciscans and secular priests. Serial publications such as notices and annual reports (Notizie, Relazioni) from the missions have been excluded. Diaries and single reports of voyages which are not part of regular series have been included. These works contain information of scientific or devotional kind concerning the oceanic travel experience of religious people.

Martín Fernández de Enciso
Suma de geographía que trata de todas las partidas del Mundo, em especial de las Indias. Y trata largamente del arte de marear (Sevilla: Jacobo Cronberger, 1519).
In the colophon to the Suma, Enciso indicates all his sources and among them included «the experience of our times, which is the mother of all things».
«Fenece la Suma de geographia con la espera en romance y el regimiento del sol y del norte por donde los mareantes se pueden regir y governar en el marear. Assi mesmo va puesta la cosmographia por derrotas y alturas: por donde los pilotos sabran de oy en adelante muy mejor que falta aqui pra descobrir las tierras que ouieren de descobrir, fue sacada esta suma de muchos y auctenticos autores. Conviene a saber dela historia batriana, los dos Tholomeos, Erastotenes, Plinio, Strabon, Josepho, y la experiencia de nuestros tiempos que es madre de todas las cosas. Fue impressa en la nobilissima y muy leal ciudad de Sevilla por Jacobo Cronberger aleman en el año de la encarnacion de nuestro senor. de mil y quinientos y diez y nueue.»

Pedro de Medina
Arte de navegar (1545)
[Dedication to then crown prince Philip]:
«Lo segundo, serenissimo señor, que a esto me ha mouido fue, que yo muchas vezes he puesto mi memoria en considerar quan gran numero de gentes nauegam: y que no solamente las partes notas y sabidas, mas las muy remotas y apartadas, y que dellas no ay noticia, se procuran nauegando buscar y saber: y viendo quan largos y peligrosos caminos por la mar se hazen, y que pocos de los que nauegan saben lo que a la nauegacion se requiere, la causa es porque ni ay maestros que lo enseñen, ni libros en que lo leam.»
Pedro de Medina’s Arte de navegar
Editions & translations (1545–1634)
Curated by Luana Giurgevich
Some books moved the imagination of all Europe more than others. Pedro de Medina's Arte de navegar is one of them.
The book was translated at least 20 times. Originally published in 1545, it was quickly translated into Italian and French, but, curiously, not to Dutch and English until 1580–1581.
