15 Sheikh Dr. Sultan al-Qasimi Phd (History and Geography) and member of the Academia das Ciϲncias de Lisboa, has decided to publish that precious text; thanks to the discovery of the most complete surviving manuscript, which was deemed lost. The manuscript is reproduced in exact facsimile, of the Arquivo Nacional da Torre do Tombo. With an English translation by Dr. Garry Mullender PhD, professor at Lisbon University; Paris III – Sorbonne Nouvelle; and Geneva. This edition is to hold immense importance for the History of the Arabic Gulf, its peoples and wealth. It has been written at the start of the Modern Age, barely Àfteen years after the voyage of Vasco da Gama from Lisbon to Calicut in India; which bore new worlds to the world.
