Book excerpt: "The Portuguese Expedition to Abyssinia in 1541-1543" by Miguel de Castanhoso is a captivating and detailed account of the Portuguese military expedition led to aid the Ethiopian Empire against Muslim invasions in the 16th century. Castanhoso, a Portuguese soldier who took part in this campaign, offers a first-hand perspective on the events, challenges and cultural interactions that marked this historic expedition. The book begins by describing the geopolitical situation at the time, with the Ethiopian Empire, also known as Abyssinia, under constant threat from Muslim forces led by Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi, nicknamed "Gragn". In response to a call for help from the Ethiopian emperor Gelawdewos, the King of Portugal sent an expeditionary force led by Cristóvão da Gama, son of the famous explorer Vasco da Gama. Castanhoso gives a detailed account of the preparations for the expedition, the perilous journey across the Red Sea and the first contacts with the Ethiopians. He describes the fierce battles, the military strategies employed and the alliances forged between the Portuguese and the Ethiopian forces. The story highlights the courage and determination of Portuguese soldiers in the face of considerable adversity, including difficult terrain, a hostile climate and powerful enemy forces. Castanhoso's text is rich in detail about the cultural encounters between Europeans and Africans. He describes the customs, traditions and religious practices of the Ethiopians, offering valuable insights into daily life and society at the time. These descriptions enhance understanding of cross-cultural interactions and how these relationships influenced the course of the expedition. The book concludes with a description of the decisive battle of Wayna Daga, where the combined forces of the Portuguese and Ethiopians succeeded in defeating Gragn's army. This victory marks a crucial turning point in the safeguarding of the Ethiopian Empire and underlines the importance of Portuguese military assistance. "The Portuguese Expedition to Abyssinia in 1541-1543" is not only an essential historical testimony, but also an epic adventure that illustrates the challenges and triumphs of this military mission. Castanhoso's narrative, with its lively, detailed style, offers readers a complete immersion in a fascinating episode in world history.

Book Synopsis The African Prester John and the Birth of Ethiopian-European Relations, 1402-1555 by : Matteo Salvadore
Download or read book The African Prester John and the Birth of Ethiopian-European Relations, 1402-1555 written by Matteo Salvadore and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 14th century onward, political and religious motives led Ethiopian travelers to Mediterranean Europe. For two centuries, their ancient Christian heritage and the myth of a fabled eastern king named Prester John allowed the Ethiopians to engage the continent's secular and religious elites as peers. Meanwhile, back home the Ethiopian nobility came to welcome European visitors and at times even co-opted them by arranging mixed marriages and bestowing land rights. The protagonists of this encounter sought and discovered each other in royal palaces, monasteries, and markets throughout the Mediterranean basin, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean littoral, from Lisbon to Jerusalem and from Venice to Goa. Matteo Salvadore's narrative takes the reader on a voyage of reciprocal discovery that climaxed with the Portuguese intervention on the side of the Christian monarchy in the Ethiopian-Adali War. Thereafter, the arrival of the Jesuits at the Horn of Africa turned the mutually beneficial Ethiopian-European encounter into a bitter confrontation over the souls of Ethiopian Christians.

Download or read book Prisoners of Prester John written by Cates Baldridge and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 16th century, Portugal endeavored to locate the mythical kingdom of Prester John--a Christian nation rumored to be somewhere in the Orient, amidst the pagans and Muslims. This study chronicles Portugal's final attempt, a six-year odyssey in Ethiopia that resulted in a tragicomic collision with a proud but isolated Christian kingdom. After summarizing the Prester John myth and the many efforts it spawned, the work focuses on the Ethiopian mission's chronicler, Father Francisco Alvares, who fell in love with the country and its people, became a friend of its king, hid the Abyssinians' heresies from his superiors, and set in motion events that saved Ethiopia from imminent destruction. Unique in the annals of Europeans' initial contacts with African peoples, the Portuguese mission is a portrait of hopeful preconceptions buffeted and eventually transformed by encounters with a fascinating, utterly unexpected reality.
