Perspective refers to the point of view of the said writer who was a witness to the event. Though historical sources are important in the writing of history, the historian is careful in using these sources. But why does historians are careful in using this sources? Different participants who also wrote their accounts can also give varied opinions and statements about a single event. Reading a historical event from the points of view of all sides will enable us to form our own studies about the said event. HISTORICAL CONTEXT - the information about the period, the place, and the events that created, influenced, or formed the backdrop to the historic resources.  Europeans discovered products that were not available in their home country.

It is divided between Peninsular Spain and Continental Portugal, comprising most of the region, as well as Andorra, Gibraltar and a small part of Southern France.  They financed the trans-Atlantic voyages of Christopher Columbus (1492 to 1502) which resulted in the discovery of the territories on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Spanish monarch supports the plan of Ferdinand Magellan. The Magellan-Elcano expedition left the port of San Lucar de Barrameda in Seville on August 20, 1519 with around 270 men of different nationalities.  Out of the five ships that left Spain only three reached the Philippines. Lapu-Lapu, the chieftain of Mactan, refused to trade with the Spaniards Spaniards lost the battle They were also treacherously attacked by their former allies. This prompted them to leave the island. By that time, their number was just enough to man two ships, the Victoria (now under the command of Juan Sebastian Elcano) and the Trinidad. 31  Trinidad and her crew were captured by the Portuguese on their journey back. On September 7, 1522, Elcano and 17 survivors arrived in Spain aboard the ship Victoria, and one of them was Antonio Pigafetta. ABOUT THE AUTHOR  ANTONIO PIGAFETTA  ANTONIO PIGAFETTA ❖ Also known as Antonio Lombardo or Francisco Antonio Pigafetta. ❖ a venetian citizen who was born around 1490 in the town of Vicenza, Venice, Italy. ❖ He studied astronomy, geography, and cartography ❖ worked in the ships owned by the Knights of Rhodes. ❖ A well-educated young man possessing an avid curiosity of the world around him.  ANTONIO PIGAFETTA ❖ Was admitted as one of the sobresalientes (supernumeraries) ❖ He was among the 18 survivors who returned to Spain on Septembet 6, 1522 aboard the Victoria with Juan Sebastian Elcano. ❖ Very little is known as to what happened to him during latter part of his life except on some accounts that he joined the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem in its battle against the Turks. He died sometime in 1534.  ABOUT THE BOOK  Pigafetta kept a detailed journal of what happened to them from time they left Seville in 1519 until they returned to Spain three years after. He presented his draft to Pope Clement VII, Philippine de Villiers L’Isle-Adam (grandmaster of the Knights of Rhodes) and to louis of Savoy (mother of King Francis I of France), hoping that they would help him finance its publication. The accounts of Maximilianus Transylvanus and Peter Martyr were already out and interest on Magellan’s expedition had died down. Sometime in 1536, a condensed version of his manuscript was published in Venice by Jacques Fabre. The original journal of Pigafetta did not survive time.  Three of them were in French and two are kept in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. The third one was originally owned by British collector Sir Thomas Phillipps. Later, Beinecke Rare Book bought it and it is now kept in the Manuscript Library of Yale University in New Haven. The fourth copy was written in mixed Italian, Spanish, and Venetian languages and could be found in the Ambrosian Library in Milan. In 1800, Carlo Amoretti published an Italian version and the following year a French version came out in Paris. An English version was published in 1819. James Alexander Robertson made his own English version of the Ambrosian copy and it appeared in The Philippine Islands opus (volume 33) as well as in a separate edition.  Pigafetta’s account is the longest and, most comprehensive. Pigafetta’s account also included maps, glossaries of native words, and geographic information and descriptions of the flora and fauna of the places they visited. Pigafetta’s travelogue contributed immensely to the enrichment of Philippine historiography. Enrique de Malacca Pigafetta likewise gave us an eyewitness account of the death of Magellan in the Battle of Mactan. The report of Pigafetta is quite long and is not presented herein its entirety. RELEVANCE  PIGAFETTA'S CHRONICLE ❖ Contributed to European historiography ❖ Magellan’s numerous contributions in the fields of geography, navigation, history and other related areas  Contributions of Magellan's Expedition 01 02 03 04 Portuguese route Discovered the Proved that is not the only to the earth is not Completed the existence of a the Spice Islands. large body of flat but an first Proved the water which oblate sphere circumnavigation theory that one and there is no they named of the world can go to the Pacific Ocean boiling water east by sailing at the Equator (mar Pacifico) the west.  Contains important details about the conditions of the Visayan Islands in the 16th century. ✓ prominent leaders ✓ economic activities ✓ social and cultural practices ✓ religious beliefs  Writers used his book as their source of historical information ✓ Beginning of Christianity in the Philippines ✓ First Mass in the Philippines ✓ Conversion of Rajah Humabon and his wife ✓ The story of the image of Sto.
