"Tratado das Ilhas Novas" by Francisco de Sousa is a historical account written in the late 16th century. The book discusses the exploration and discovery of new islands in the Atlantic, reflecting the Portuguese maritime expeditions during a time of significant global exploration. It particularly highlights the colonization efforts led by the Portuguese and the geographical descriptions of various islands. In this work, Sousa provides detailed accounts of newly discovered islands and
reports on the colonization of regions like Cape Breton. He recounts the experiences of Portuguese mariners who ventured into these waters, detailing the various islands—including Santa Cruz dos Reis Magos, São Thomé, and others—along with their characteristics and resources. The text serves as both a geographical catalog and a narrative of maritime adventure, offering insights into the motivations behind exploration, the hardships faced by the sailors, and the rich potential of the newfound lands. Through this account, Sousa also addresses the historical and cultural significance of these explorations amidst the broader context of Portugal's maritime empire.
