Duarte Barbosa
Duarte Barbosa (c. 14801 May 1521) was a Portuguese writer and officer from Portuguese India (between 1500 and 1516). He was a scrivener in a ''feitoria'' in Kochi, and an interpreter of the local language, Malayalam. Barbosa wrote the ''Book of Duarte Barbosa'' () c. 1516, making it one of the earliest examples of Portuguese travel literature.In 1519, Barbosa embarked on the first expedition to circumnavigate the world, led by his brother-in-law Ferdinand Magellan. Barbosa was killed in 1521, at a banquet held by Rajah Humabon in the Philippines, a few days after the Battle of Mactan on Cebu Island. Provided by Wikipedia
