    Antonio Pigafetta was an Italian scholar and cartographer who joined Ferdinand Magellan's expedition in 1519 as a supernumerary, one of the volunteers from prominent families. He kept a detailed journal of the entire voyage, from their departure from Seville, Spain until their return, providing one of the longest and most comprehensive firsthand accounts of the expedition. His journal gives important insights into the political, economic, and social conditions of the islands in the Visayas in the 16th century, including descriptions of the physical appearance and cultural practices of the indigenous peoples they encountered.
