This issue celebrates the 500th Anniversary of the birth of Portuguese explorer and writer Fernão Mendes Pinto.
Fernão Mendes Pinto (1511—1583) was a Portuguese adventurer and author of the Peregrinação (The Travels of Mendes Pinto), a literary masterpiece depicting the impression made on a European by Asian civilization, notably that of China, in the 16th century.
Pinto went to India in 1537 and later claimed to have traveled, fought, and traded in almost every part of Asia during the next 21 years and also to have experienced drastic reversals of fortune, having been made “13 times a prisoner and 17 a slave.”
