Viagem Ao Norte Do Brazil Feita Nos Annos 1613 a 1614, Pelo Padre Ivo D'evreux (Portuguese Edition)

"Viagem ao Norte do Brazil" by Padre Ivo d'Evreux is a rare work that narrates the journey undertaken in 1613 to 1614 by the Capuchin friar. Translated by Dr. Cezar Augusto Marques, the book unveils the early history of Maranhão. The forgotten Padre Ivo de Evreux's significance was acknowledged alongside other explorers. His mission in Maranhão, with fellow religious figures, was marked by challenges and adversities. The expedition, led by Ravardiere, faced conflicts with the Portuguese, resulting in the expulsion of the French.
