Indian chronicles of Fernão Lopes de Castanheda and Gaspar Correia
Znamenáček, Richard ; Binková, Simona (advisor) ; Dufková, Vlasta (referee) ; Binková, Simona (referee)
This PhDr. work is a comparative historical work comparing two of five most important chronicles of the Portuguese India of the 16th century, History of the Discovery and Conquest of India by the Portuguese (História do Descobrimento e Conquista da Índia pelos Portugueses) by Ferno Lopes de Castanheda and Legends of India (Lendas da Índia) by Gaspar Cor- reia. The work is divided into three sections. The first section is an introduction to the topic selected. It outlines the causes of the huge Portuguese ultramarine expansion and what preceded it, as well as its progress. In this section there is a chronological overview of Portuguese expansion to Asia, which was initiated and implemented to a decisive extent by Governor Afonso de Albuquerque (1509-1515). Thanks to him, the so-called Estado da Índia founded by his precursor, Francisco de Almeida, got firm foundations and expanded territorially enormously. A brief characterization of Estado da Índia is in the second part of this section. The very conclusion of the first section is dedicated to the rich literature of ultramarine discoveries. The first section is followed by two crucial sections, which are dedicated to the above- named chroniclers and their works, i.e. to Ferno Lopes de Castanheda and his History (the second section) and to Gaspar Correia and...
