[QUOTE]Originally posted by the questioner: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by capra: [qb] The one Lioness linked looks like a 1956 edition of a text published in 1928 by an Italian scholar. The spelling has been modernized somewhat but seems fine. [URL=https://archive.org/details/magellansvoyagea01piga]>Here< [/URL]is a transcription of the original Italian version, in the original spelling, with facing English translation. I cannot find a digitized scans of the original Italian manuscript, I tried the Ambrosian Library website and couldn't find it there. I think it's wildly unlikely that mention of "woolly hair" has been edited out, but you could always fly to Europe and ask to have a look at the original ms. :p [URL=https://www.wdl.org/en/item/3082/]> Here < [/URL] is a downloadable digital scan of one of the original 1525 French versions from the Yale library. Knock yourself out if you want to read the whole thing looking for mention of woolly hair! I checked the bits which describe the hair of the Verzin Indians and the Patagonian giants and they match the published Italian version. I'm inclined to think Burney simply got it wrong in his summary. Anyway, we're going to need a better source for claims of Brazilian negroids. Maybe someone can figure out what or who Ihle's source was for the savages of Tierra del Fuego? Digging this stuff up is fun but it takes way too long. [/qb][/QUOTE]i will check the french translation even though james alexander robesrton has stated that the french version has been condensed John Pinkerton 1819 also mentions reading a woolly haired version of his work [URL=https://books.google.com/books?id=KVG-d40WYesC&pg=PA311&dq=pigafetta+woolly+hair&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjgrbODtLLXAhWm5IMKHQbMBfY4FBDoAQhAMAU#v=onepage&q=pigafetta%20woolly%20hair&f=false]https://books.google.com/books?id=KVG-d40WYesC&pg=PA311&dq=pigafetta+woolly+hair&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjgrbODtLLXAhWm5IMKHQbMBfY4FBDoAQhAMAU#v=onepage&q=pigafetta%20woolly%20hair&f =false[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
