Cadamosto (Kerr, p.225 [Архівовано 13 квітня 2016 у Wayback Machine.] Ital: p.111 [Архівовано 8 квітня 2016 у Wayback Machine.]; Port: p.33 [Архівовано 28 квітня 2016 у Wayback Machine.]). Cadamosto places it 64 miles south of the mouth of the Senegal river and 32 miles north of Cape Vert. Russell (2000: p.299) tentatively locates it at or around modern Mboro town.
The feast SS. Philip and James actually fell on May 1 in the liturgical calendar of the time. But Cadmosto reports they departed Portugal already in May. An alternative proposal (e.g. Quintella, p.129) is that it is his departure date that is mistakenly written — that Cadamosto really departed in March or April, 1456 and reached Cape Verde islands before May 1. Damião de Góis writes that on their second trip, they took «sixteen days» to reach Cape Vert, and claims they called the islands Boa Vista, the second Santiago & São Felipe «on account of it being 1st of May» and a third island Maio «in memory of the month they discovered it.» (Gois, 1567: p.22 [Архівовано 15 лютого 2017 у Wayback Machine.])
Diogo Gomes, p.282 [Архівовано 17 березня 2022 у Wayback Machine.]; Russell, 2000 p.331. However, Cortesão (1931: p.37) suggests it was Diogo Gomes is truthful, that Cadamosto never undertook his second trip at all, but pinched the account — including the dealings with Battimansa, Niumimansa etc. — wholesale from Gomes and others. Curiously, Damião de Góis (1567:p.22) credits them with discovering the Cape Verde islands, but makes no mention of their second entry into the Gambia or sojourn there, claiming instead they sailed straight from the islands to Casamance, and went on as far only to Cape Roxo, before turning back.
