COSTA, João Paulo Oliveira e. Fifteenth Century, the Age of Discoveries, by Luís Adão da Fonseca. e-JPH [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.145-154. Epub 30-Jun-2021. ISSN 1645-6432. https://doi.org/10.26300/vdc7-pd08.
This article analyzes Luís Adão da Fonseca’s contribution to the study of the Portuguese overseas expansion. Most of his work deals with a narrow chronology of roughly one century-the fifteenth century-and through his texts we obtain a broader and more detailed picture of this period as a time of intense and diverse changes, which started in Europe but, for the first time, were to have a dramatic impact all over the world. I attempt to show that he was a pioneer in inserting the dynamics of Portugal’s development within a European and Mediterranean context and combining this with its overseas activities to arrive at a single (and complex) historical process.
