ABSTRACT
Four prominent Venetians, Domenico Malipiero, Marcantonio Michieli, Girolamo Priuli, and Marino Sanuto have left a record in the form of diaries which give us an intimate knowledge of what appeared to them of interest in their city, almost day by day, from 1457 to 1535. These diaries are the foundation for the history of Venice during this period, and it is in two of them that is found, to a large extent, the information which reached Venice regarding the voyage of Cabral.
