That's a hell of a double standard, buddy.

Black was the term used to describe Negro people, as illustrated by Pigafetta. This is a silly debate Pigafetta made it clear the Brazilian males were "so Black", while the females were "olivâtre que noir", light brown instead of "so Black". This is nothing new. Women are usually lighter than males in many populations.
Stop claiming the Brazilians were not Negroes/Blacks.

if it turns out it is a match we can safely say that the "woolly hair" quote comes from amoretti alone. unless there is some other translation published before him that uses the word "woolly"
the only issue that leaves doubt in this assumption is that carlo amoretti seen the original manuscript which the other manuscripts could have been edited or revised through out the years by copyists
we have to know why did amoretti use "woolly" in his translation.

This is a silly debate Pigafetta made it clear the Brazilian males were "so Black", while the females were "olivâtre que noir", light brown in the French translation, or "point bien noir", not very Black, in the original; instead of "so Black" for Brazilian males.

Today the term "black" does not have an greed upon meaning. It is not a scientific term.
In addition in 16th and 17th century Europe you will find instances where writers will call Europeans who are only slightly darker than pale "black", the term wasn't specific to "Negroid" of Africa but also included them. This is unlike classifications in modern America
I don't see instances of old writing where Explorers going into the Americas and remark " they looked just like Africans"
And if you go deep into the Amazon rainforest you can still find people who look like this. So weher are the other types?
HOwever looking at the features, the nose an lips, one cold argue overlaps, very similar to some common African features

so far i could not find the "woolly haired" reference in either one of these manuscripts however i did found out that these manuscripts were not originally written by pigafetta but are mere "copies"
"In 1797 Amoretti discovered at the Biblioteca the lost Italian manuscript of Pigafetta on Magellan's voyage, considered by most Magellan scholars as the oldest of four extant manuscripts and the most complete, although there is consensus among paleographic scholars this and all surviving codices are mere copies of an original or originals now deemed forever lost."
proof of this is that the manuscripts do not have the same hand writing
no im mean like someone or some thing that was or who was his contemporary that can vouch for this work
in case you haven't noticed, im not a gullible historian
For all we know this document could be written by anybody claiming to be
His name is on the title page here:
While the original account in Pigafetta is lost that he made on location on the voyage. It the same man Pigafetta who wrote later another account in recollection of the voyage. Scholars are not in agreement if he wrote the French version himself.

"A Native Savage of America" Native American carrying a club,
wearing a feathered headdress and short skirt, and armed with an axe. Hand-colored copperplate engraving from a drawing by Johann Ihle from Ebenezer Sibly's "Universal System of Natural History" 1794. The prolific Sibly published his Universal System of Natural History in 1794~1796 in five volumes covering the three natural worlds of fauna, flora and geology. The series included illustrations of mythical beasts such as the sukotyro and the mermaid, and depicted sloths sitting on the ground (instead of hanging from trees) and a domesticated female orang utan wearing a bandana. The engravings were by J. Pass, J. Chapman and Barlow copied from original drawings by famous natural history artists George Edwards, Albertus Seba, Maria Sybilla Merian, and Johann Ihle. These volumes are extremely hard to find even with uncoloured plates, and very rare coloured. The hand-colouring on these copperplate engravings is particularly rich and intense.

"collation demonstrates, first that the three french manuscripts have so much in common- yet with a number of variants peculiar to one or the other manuscript- that they must all derive by different channels from a single french version, represented by a manuscript not now extant; second, that this version, made by a writer of french language unfamiliar with technical terms in Italian, contained so many undigested italianisms or misrepresentations of italian idioms that it must have been translated, not by pigafetta or even (we must suppose)under his supervision, from an Italian original; and third, the divergence between the surviving french manuscripts (on one hand ) and the italian manuscript (on the other) are too numerous and substantial to permit us to identify ambrosiana manuscript with this original." pg 22 Magellan's Voyage: A Narrative Account of the First Circumnavigation By Antonio Pigafetta translated and edited by R.A. skelton

the issue is the "woolly hair" reference, how do we know it wasn't taken out because all the versions you presented doesn't even describe the hair texture of the natives.

The second one is hand written in pen, very interesting
What manuscript is this?
I was trying looking for a navigation tool for a word search, it doesn't look like there are any unless I missed it
Can anybody find the right section? It comes right after Jean Carvajo is mentioned. He is mentioned just twice in the book under various spellings in different versions
Jean Carvajo Johane Carnagio Joao Carvalho
Also "plumes" is mentioned, parrot feathers in this section
I had a hard time trying to find the right section In this second link above
One method is to take some words that are around page 18 and search them in google with Pigafetta's name that might link to one of the versions in a word searchable form on some other website , Once you're there you can look for plume or lèvre (lip in French) and this name Carvajo (use only Carv or Carn ) Then home in on the location and then go back to the other text back and forth to get closer and closer

in old European writing you will find many instances where writers will call Europeans who are only slightly darker than pale "black", the term wasn't specific to "Negroid" of Africa but also included them and anybody else less than pale This is unlike much narrower classifications in modern America.

Do you have a reference in Italian where they use neri to describe a European who is known to be white/bianchi?

There are many theories regarding who was the first European to set foot on the land now called Brazil. Besides the widely accepted view of Cabral's discovery, some say that it was Duarte Pacheco Pereira between November and December 1498[3][4] and some others say that it was first encountered by Vicente Yáñez Pinzón, a Spanish navigator who had accompanied Colombus in his first voyage of discovery to the Americas, having supposedly arrived in today's Pernambuco region on 26 January 1500 but was unable to claim the land because of the Treaty of Tordesillas.[5] In April 1500, Brazil was claimed for Portugal on the arrival of the Portuguese fleet commanded by Pedro Álvares Cabral.[6] The Portuguese encountered stone-using natives divided into several tribes, many of whom shared the same Tupi–Guarani language family, and fought among themselves
Albert Eckhout's painting of the Tupi
Albert Eckhout (c.1610–1665) was a Dutch portrait and still life painter. Eckhout, who was born in Groningen, was among the first European artists to paint scenes from the New World. In 1636 he traveled to Dutch Brazil, where he stayed until 1644, invited by count John Maurice, Prince of Nassau-Siegen.[1] There, he painted portraits of the natives, slaves and mulattos of Brazil in the seventeenth century, besides numerous sketches of plants and animals

"and" is "e", not appearing in that sentence

there's no telling how many Brazilians were annihilated by Portuguese disease or warfare
But there are people even today, deep in the Amazon like the Yanomami who didn't encounter Europeans until the 1940s

Something interesting is that if look at Brazil the closest place in the Americas to Africa is around Liberia/Sierra Leone
Ethiopia and Tanzania are some of the furthest places, on the other side of the continent.
Mursi tribe, Ethiopia
Suya tribe, Brazil
It is remarkable how this is in both places.
Ironically the Amazonian lip plates there are associated with oratory and singing (not in Ethiopia though)
I haven't research lip plates much but I would guess that they evolved out of some less extreme modification of the lip

Stop lying,who are these tan Europeans as the only way the could've existed is admixture with darker people or these "dark whites" mutated and create the contemporary Euros sense they use they word swarthy to describe dark skin and whites finally acknowledge African people in medieval Europe though they were there earlier it makes no sense they would call people slightly darker than themselves black.
Not brazil but why do these toas Indians look different from the Brazilian Indian as whites state Indians and Africans rarely mixed.

Mexico is in the south and up until the late 18th and early 19th century did not see substantial immigration of non Europeans so the only mixing would be with is Africans or Europeans,the video of modern Mayan shows phenotype similarities with the Brazilian Indian. https://youtu.be/i4SWnMJhHAw

That's not the point,the native Americans show a large phenotype variance for a population that 90% of the people were killed and could've only mixed with Africans or Europeans at a certain time in history before immigration as the racial breakdown of Brazil today is whites,pardos,blacks and Indians ,there are minority groups but the black population is larger than the Indians and minority groups combined so that "black" label could not apply to the Chinese looking Indians.
