Summary

This essay presents the most complete and best documented analysis of the Basque seafarer Juan Sebastián Elkano, captain of the first circumnavigation yet side-lined by official historiography. With an almost detective-like method the author unravels these stratagems and from a profound knowledge of the primary sources, leads us to understand why Elkano deserves a prominent place in universal history.
