Lanzarotto Malocello et la découverte portugaise des Canaries

Abstract: L'histoire de la découverte des Canaries -et subsidiairement celle de la découverte des îles du groupe des Madères (Madère, Porto Santo, Déserta) et des Açores -présente un intérêt considérable parce qu'elle permet d'illustrer par un exemple concret la collaboration que les Italiens, et surtout les Génois, apportèrent à la première expansion portugaise sous les règnes d'Alphonse IV (1325-1357) et de ses successeurs Pierre l<* (1357-1367) et Ferdinand (1367-1383) Q).Un premier point qu'il y a lieu d'élucider es… Show more

“…The exiguous documents reveal glimpses of shadowy, fascinating characters of whom one would love to know more: Lanzarotto Malocello, from Genoa, who before 1339 built a tower on the island still called Lanzarote in his honour; Guillem Safont, a Majorcan seaman whose claim for wages is the only source of our knowledge of a voyage of 1342; Luis de la Cerda, the dispossessed scion of the Castilian royal house whom the pope named 'Prince of Fortune', with the right to conquer a realm for himself in the Canaries, in 1344; Jaume Ferrer, the Majorcan who perished somewhere around Capejuby in 1346 while seeking 'the river of gold'; and the Franciscan missionaries of the bishopric of Telde in Gran Canaria in the late fourteenth century -and the natives who massacred them. 7 In the course of return voyages against the wind, navigators who had absolutely no means of keeping track of their longitude increasingly made huge deep-sea detours in search of westerlies that would take them home. This risky enterprise was rewarded with the discovery of the Azores -a midocean archipelago, more than seven hundred miles from the nearest other land.…”

“…Earlier explorers included Lancellotto Malocello in ca. 1312 and Nicoloso da Recco in 1341, both from Genoa (Morales Padrón, 1971; Pellegrini, 1998; Verlinden, 1958). During this period the islands were frequently pillaged by pirates who were involved in the slave trade (Lobo Cabrera, 2000).…”
