| 520 | _a"The Chronicle of the Discovery and Conquest of Guinea, Vol. I" by Gomes Eannes de Azurara is a historical account written in the late 15th century. This work serves as a detailed record of the early Portuguese exploration and conquests along the African coast, focusing particularly on the efforts of Prince Henry, known as the Navigator. Azurara's narrative combines biographical elements of key figures with the broader context of Portugal’s maritime expansion, providing insights into both the motivations and consequences of these voyages. At the start of the text, Azurara reflects on the significance of good deeds and gratitude, introducing the context of his chronicle—commissioned by King Alfonso V to document the achievements of Prince Henry. The opening chapters delve into Henry's genealogy and outline his remarkable contributions, including his ambitions for exploration and the capture of territories. Azurara’s writing highlights significant events like the doubling of Cape Bojador and the capture of the first African slaves, setting the stage for the ensuing narratives about exploration, commerce, and the moral implications of these early conquests.
