GOES, DAMIANO di. - Portuguese historian, b. at Alenquer in 1502, d. there in 1574. He held diplomatic posts at nearly all the European courts, and traveled a great deal, coming into contact with or forming friendships with numerous personalities of the time, Erasmus, Sadoleto, Luther, Melanchthon.
In 1546 he was appointed by King John III chief archivist of Torre do Tombo, and he devoted himself to historiographical research, composing a Cronica do principe dom João, and his masterpiece Cronica do rei dom Manuel. A refined and objective writer of Erasmian tendencies, he conceives of history as the critical study of facts and of historical sources. Although he did not embrace their ideas, he cultivated relations with the German innovators, and for this he had conflicts with and condemnations from the Inquisition.
