Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English. About the book:-From his travels in Malaysia-Indonesia the author drew a book on Asian trade, the Suma Oriental que trata do Mar Roxo até aos Chins. He wrote the book in Malacca and India between 1512 and 1515, completing it before the death of Alfonso de Albuquerque (December 1515).… He feels that this is the earliest European description of Malaysia and the oldest and most extensive description of the Portuguese east. It is a collection of varied i nf or mat i on: hi s t or y, geogr aphy,ethnography, botany, economi cs,commerce, etc., including coins,weights and measures. He was careful to study the accuracy of information gathered from merchants, navigators, and others with whom he had contact. This makes them a keen observer, despite their non-fluid prose, superior to other Portuguese writers of the time. The book, conceived to be an account for Manuel I of Portugal, and perhaps due to an assignment received in Li s bon bef or e hi s depar t ur e, i sc o n s i d e r e d o n e o f t h e m o s tconscientious first-hand sources for the study of Indian geography and trade of the time, and one of the mosti mpor t ant s our c e s of s t udy f orcontemporary Islam in Indonesia.

After difficultexperiences in India and the East Indies, he led the first official embassy of a European nation in China (from Portugal to the emperor of China, Zhengde, during the Ming dynasty ), where he died. Pires was the apothecary of the unfortunate Prince Alfonso, son of King John II of Portugal. He went to India in 1511 after having received the nomination of 'spice merchant', the oriental products which represented the main commodity traded along the 'Spice Route'. In Malacca and Kochi h e c o l l e c t e d a n d d o c u m e n t e dinformation from the Malaysia - Indonesia area, and personally visited Java, Sumatra (the two dominant islands of present-day Indonesia) and the Moluccas.
