Subject: Commentaries of Afonso de Albuquerque available on archive.org
Dear Rico,
...
I downloaded the full commentaries of Afonso de Albuquerque from
archive.org. These rare volumes need to be reprinted.
Ravensteins' Journal of first voyage of Vasco da Gama-1497-99 is also
available.
Richard Burton's biography on Camoens is a rare gem.
And would you believe this?. Goa's great historian Prof. Geroge Moraes's
classic work 'The Kadamba Kula' tops the cake
Check-http://www.archive.org/details/kadambakula035210mbp (pdf 29.6 mb)
I got a lot encouragement from Prof. Moraes to work on Kadamba history
when he used to attend our local hisotry seminars despite his poor health
at GU.
On Goa, however the website lists only 80 texts. May be a better search
strategy is required. This site needs to be publicized and populated with
more documents from Goa irrespective of language and scripts.
If time permits I may compile an annotated bibliography of references
available from this site and useful for Goalogical research.
wishing you a prosperous, healthy, creative and productive new year-2012
sincerely
Nandu
