Pigafetta's Dictionary

Pigafetta's Dictionary is the first Italian-Malay vocabulary written by the chronicler Antonio Pigafetta.[1] These are the list words of the languages of various natives he met during his journey with Ferdinand Magellan.

Background

Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan ( Portuguese: Fernão de Magalhães, IPA: [fɨɾˈnɐ̃w dɨ mɐɣɐˈʎɐ̃jʃ]; Spanish: Fernando de Magallanes, IPA: [feɾˈnando ðe maɣaˈʎanes]; 4 February 1480 – 27 April 1521) led about 270 men on five ships from the port of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Spain to look for the Spice Islands of Maluku.The Venetian chronicler Antonio Pigafetta (Italian: [anˈtɔːnjo piɡaˈfetta]; c. 1491 – c. 1531) was with the expedition from which he served as assistant to Magellan and to keep records and the voyage's journal.[2]and he was fortunate to be one of the 18 men who have returned to Spain in 1522.

One of his notable works in the voyage was his narrative and the list of words of various languages of natives during the long journey which includes: Brazillian native language - 8 words, Patagonian language - 90 words, Philippine language - 160 words, Malay - more than 400 words, which Pigafetta calls as Moorish (Muslim people of Moluccas)[3][4]

In Pigafetta's book, Primo viaggio intorno al mondo, (English: First Voyage Around the World) he takes care to record as many words as he can.The chronicle of Pigafetta was one of the most cited documents by historians who wished to study the precolonial Philippines.[5] As one of the earliest written accounts, Pigafetta was seen as a credible source for a period, which was prior unchronicled and undocumented.[6]
