    ANTONIO

    PIGAFETTA-
    FIRST VOYAGE
    AROUND THE
    WORLD
    Who is Antonio
    Pigafetta?
    Objectives of Spanish and Portuguese (European) Exploration

    ◈ God, Gold, Glory


    Why were the Portuguese and Spanish first explored?

    ◈ Spain and Portugal were among the first


    European nations to explore because they
    were bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the
    Mediterranean Sea.
    Why did Magellan came to Spain?
     Ferdinand Magellan had an important goal when he left the town
    of Seville on the 10th of August, 1519: Find a westward route to
    the Spice (Maluku) Islands.
    ◈ The expedition's goal was to find a western route to the Moluccas
    (Spice Islands). Magellan left Spain on 20 September 1519,
    sailed across the Atlantic, and discovered the strait that now
    bears his name, allowing him to pass through South America into
    the Pacific Ocean (which he named).
    Situation of Expedition of Ferdinand Magellan
     In search of fame and fortune, Portuguese explorer
    Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480-1521) set out from Spain
    in September 20, 1519 with a fleet of five ships to
    discover a western sea route to the rich Spice Islands of
    Indonesia
     With that, he discovered what is now known as the
    Strait of Magellan and became the first European to
    cross the Pacific Ocean.
    March 31,
    1521-"Early in the
    morning of Sunday,
    the last of March and
    Easter day,"
    Magellan sent the
    priest ashore with
    some men to prepare
    for the Mass.
    On 26th of April…..
    ◈ Zula, a principal man from the island of Matan (Mactan) went to
    see Magellan and asked him for a boat full of men so that he
    would be able to fight the chief name Silapulapu (Lapulapu).
    Magellan offered 3 boats instead and went to Mactan to fight the
    said chief.
    ◈ They numbered 49 in total and the islanders of Mactan were
    estimated to number 1,500. Magellan died in battle on the 27th of
    April. He was pierced with a poison arrow in his right leg.
    ◈ On September 8, 1522, the crew of the
    Victoria cast anchor in the waters off of
    Seville, Spain, having just completed the first
    circumnavigation of the world.
    Contribution and relevance of the
    document in understanding the
    Grand Narrative of Philippine
    History
    How relevant the documents in reconstructing the past of the
    Philippines and its people?
    ◈ The relevance of the document lies in the fact that Antonio Pigafetta took part to the
    first globe circumnavigation, between 1519 and 1522, and he was able to finish it after
    the murder of Ferdinand Magellan, leaving a detailed description of the journey
    reporting the first trip around the world.
    ◈ Antonio Pigafetta kept a detailed journal, the original of which is lost. However, an
    account of the voyage, written by Pigafetta between 1522 and 1525, survives in four
    manuscript versions: one in Italian and three in French. This version, in French, is from
    the library of Yale University, and is the most complete and handsomely produced of
    the four surviving manuscripts. It includes 23 beautifully drawn and illuminated maps.
    ◈ The document gave enough information about what was in the past about the
    Philippine history. We were able to gain knowledge about our ancestors, past tradition
    and culture.
    Significance of the document in the following:
    ◈ Scholars and historians
    ◈ Economy
    ◈ Geography
    ◈ Religion
    ◈ Youth
    ◈ Socio culture
    ◈ Politics
