Magellans Boten
Die fruhesten Berichte uber die erste Weltumsegelung Maximilanus Transylvanus, Johannes Schoner, Pietro M. d'Anghiera (Lateinischer Text, Ubersetzung und Anmerkungen)
by Robert Wallisch, edited by Christine Harrauer
English summary: The modern view on Magellan as the first man who sailed around the globe is a result of illuministic ideas that turned the Portuguese Spanish Conquistador into a hero of science. But in the autumn of the year 1522, shortly after the return of his flagship, Magellan, who had been killed during the voyage, has been seen in a critical light. This is mainly true for the first printed reports on Magellan’s voyage, all published in 1523 in Latin language. These texts criticize Magellan’s qualifications, speak of his problematic leadership and let his historical role fade away behind the national triumph of the first successful voyage around the globe. German description: Das moderne Bild Magellans als des ersten Weltumseglers ist von aufklarerischen Wunschvorstellungen gepragt, die den portugiesisch-spanischen Conquistador als Helden der Wissenschaft stilisieren. Im Herbst 1522 aber, unmittelbar nach der Ruckkehr seines Flaggschiffs, galt der auf der Reise getotete Magellan als eine kritisch zu hinterfragende, vielen als eine zwielichtige Figur. Dies gilt besonders fur die ersten gedruckten Berichte uber Magellans Fahrt, die noch 1523 in lateinischer Sprache erschienen. Sie kritisieren Magellans Qualifikationen, sprechen seinen problematischen Fuhrungsstil an und lassen seine historische Gestalt hinter dem Ereignis der Weltumsegelung verblassen.
