Description

This Routledge publication presents translated Portuguese manuscripts documenting the early Atlantic slave trade from West Africa to Iberian territories between 1513 and 1526. The collection includes the Santiago's trading log from 1526, which records the commodification of 108 enslaved Africans transported from Africa to Portugal, along with detailed accounts of goods exchanged, prices paid, and mortality during the crossing. These rare historical documents from customs office receipt books and ship logs provide chilling first-hand evidence of the commercial machinery behind the slave trade during this formative period. The manuscripts offer scholars, historians and students an invaluable primary source for understanding the origins and early operations of the Atlantic slave trade before the Middle Passage became systematised, shedding light on trading practices, economic structures and human costs at the inception of one of history's most devastating forced migrations.
