Contrary to common theory (Belding 1965), there is no reference to the African Eyeworm in Pigafetta's work. Philipp Pigafetta (1533-1603) translated the oral Africa report of the Portuguese Eduart Lopez into the Italian language. The de Bry Brothers published in 1597 the German version of this travel report, and in 1598 the Latin version followed.
