Summary "Memoria ácerca dos Portuguezes na Abyssinia" by Visconde de Soveral is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the initial Portuguese explorations and interactions in Abyssinia (modern-day Ethiopia), highlighting significant figures and events that marked Portugal's presence in the region. It serves as a record of the early encounters between Portuguese explorers, missionaries, and the local populace, reflecting on both the missionary zeal and the geopolitical ambitions of Portugal during this period. The narrative discusses pivotal moments in Portuguese history related to Abyssinia, such as Pero da Covilhã's journey in 1480 and the activities of various Portuguese missionaries and diplomats. Soveral recounts the experiences of notable individuals like Dom Francisco Alvares and the challenges faced by the missionaries in their efforts to spread Christianity. The text also examines the evolving dynamics between the Portuguese and the Abyssinians, including the latter's initial hospitality contrasted with later hostilities. Overall, the book serves to document and analyze the Portuguese exploration and influence in Abyssinia, weaving together historical facts with the broader context of Portuguese colonial ambitions.
