Arte de navigar : ウィキペディア英語版
Martín Cortés de Albacar

Martín Cortés de Albacar (1510–1582) was a Spanish cosmographer.〔p131 Antonio Barrera-Osorio ''Experiencing nature: the Spanish American empire and the early scientific revolution;'' University of Texas Press, 2006〕 In 1551 he published the standard navigational textbook ''Arte de navigar'' (also known as ''Breve compendio'')〔''Breve compendio de la sphera y de la arte de navegar, con nuevos instrumentos y reglas, exemplificado com muy subtiles demostraciones'' (Digitazing ) Library of Chile〕
Cortés was born in Bujaraloz, province of Zaragoza, Aragon. From 1530, in Cádiz, he taught cosmography and the art of navigation to pilots.
==''Art of Navigation''==
Cortés' book, ''Breve compendio,''...''Arte de navegar'' was promoted by Steven Borough who had it translated into English by Richard Eden and published in 1561 entitled ''The Art of Navigation.'' As such it became the first English manual of navigation〔Andrew Hadfield, ‘Eden, Richard (c.1520–1576)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, Sept 2004〕 and the primary text for European navigation throughout the early 17thC, enjoyed by such as Martin Frobisher and Francis Drake.〔
''Arte de navegar'' was a practical book in which Cortés discussed, in a concise manner, navigation, cosmography and problems such as magnetic declination for which he hypothesised a Celestial magnetic pole.〔
He included many illustrations and models for making instruments.〔Antonio Barrera, Colgate University, (Navigational Manual of Cortés )〕 and the text contained the earliest known description of the Nocturnal〔Harriet Wynter and Anthony Turner, ''Scientific Instruments'', Studio Vista, 1975, ISBN 0-289-70403-0〕 and how to make and use a sea astrolabe〔See :es:Martín Cortés de Albacar for the Spanish Wikipedia biography〕〔Swanick, Lois Ann. ''An Analysis of Navigational Instruments in the Age of Exploration: 15th Century to Mid-17th century'', MA Thesis, Texas A&M University, December 2005〕
Cortés' calculations were critical in allowing explorers to ascertain their location when out of sight of land.〔
In 1574, the mathematician William Bourne, produced a popular version of the book, entitled ''A Regiment for the Sea''. Bourne was critical of some aspects of ''Arte de Navegar'' and produced a manual of more practical use to the seaman.〔G. L'E. Turner, ‘Bourne, William (c.1535–1582)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004〕
He died aged 72.
