the service of Henry the Navigator. Another African voyage that was known in 1462, came two years after the death of Henry the Navigator (some sources state that he died in 1460), when the island of Cape Verde was rediscovered. Gomes, like his predecessor claimed to have named it. The narrative has a reference to the final illness of Henry the Navigator, as well as discussing his life, realizations and objectives. It discussed what seemed to be his first explorations. Under the command of João de Trasto, he reached Grand Canary in 1415.
