Afonso de Albuquerque (1453–1515) was the second viceroy of India. He
conquered Goa, Malacca, Ormuz, and what is now Sri Lanka, establishing the
Portuguese Empire in the east.
Commentarios, a record of his travels and
adventures, was compiled by Afonso de Albuquerque the Younger, from his
father's papers and first published in Lisbon 1557. The first English
edition appeared in 1875 under the auspices of the Hakluyt Society and was
translated from the 1774 edition. Jamie McNulty, Powells.com
