Near fine condition. Afrikaans text. A truly astonishing compendium on contact between Portugal and South Africa, ranging from legends relating to Prester John to the poetry of Camoens, from shipwreck on the South African coast to Louis Trichardt's ill-fated trek to Delagoa Bay, from the role of Portugal in the Anglo-Boer War to Trevor Manuel's marriage to Maria Ramos. "Hierdie manuskrip deur twee erkende en uitstaande vakkundiges behoort by 'n wye verskeidenheid lesers - wetenskaplikes en belangstellendes - byval te vind. 'n Aansienlike bydrae tot nuwe kennis oor die onderwerp word gemaak. Dit is 'n deeglike en wetenskaplike stuk werk oor 'n onderwerp wat vir Suid-Afrika en Portugal belangrik is en waaroor baie min geskryf is. Dit is nie alleen 'n betroubare naslaanbron nie, maar lees genotvol omdat die skrywers dikwels klein menslike detail ingewerk het." - Anton Roux, former director of the South African Cultural History Museum, Cape Town.
