"This first multimedia edition of the account intended for the public in general is illustrated with the most important pictures of the age accompanied by some music of the time. With it, da Gama's voyage, which at the same time represented the outcome of important technological progress - in knowledge of the world, navigational techniques, shipbuilding and logistics - truly enters the digital age." -- António Manuel Hespanha.
"Luckily, part of what we have left from this first voyage is a fantastic document, a Ship's Log, which we are now launching in Portugese and English on this CD." -- insert.
