	~~Vasco also wrote a personal diary at some point~~ in ~~his life~~. ~~One~~ of the ~~pages ended up in the possession of~~ [[~~Peter Beckford~~]] ~~during~~ the ~~[[Golden Age~~ of ~~Piracy]] and was looted by~~ [[~~Edward Kenway~~]].<ref ~~name="AC4"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: ~~Black Flag~~]]'' – ~~[[Database: "De Gama Diary Extract"]]~~</ref>		After returning to Portugal, Da Gama lived in Lisbon, where he became an avid theatre goer. After being impressed by one of the plays written and directed by [[Gil Vicente]], he gave the playwright a piece of a map with the trajectory of his fabled trip to [[India]] in thanks.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 16</ref>

	=~~=Trivia==~~		At some point prior to May 1519, Da Gama met [[Leonardo da Vinci]] and became the artist's friend and ally. When Leonardo became afraid of possible interception of his research on [[haven]]s, he contacted the explorer and gave him encoded information that he was to give to the Assassins who approached him<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]''</ref> or to destroy it if none arrived within a month of Leonardo's death.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Letter from Leonardo</ref> They eventually lost contact when Da Gama retired and moved away from [[Lisbon]]<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Mini-map: Lisbon</ref> to the small village of [[Vidigueira]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Card 180</ref> after having been made Count of Vidigueira.<ref name="Wiki"/> The Assassins eventually tracked him down, and Da Gama received them warmly, mentioning that though Leonardo had told him someone would come for the item he was guarding, he did not expect they would find them in Vidigueira. He then handed the Assassins the translucid sheet with a line drawn on it that Leonardo had given him for safe keeping.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Last Quest of Leonardo da Vinci]]'' – Carnet de voyage 12</ref>
	*Vasco da Gama was a likely owner or scholar of the [[Voynich manuscript]] or one of its copies, and ~~wrote about it~~ in ~~his~~ diary.<ref name="AC4"/>
			Vasco da Gama was a likely owner or scholar of the [[Voynich manuscript]] or one of its copies, and a page from one of Da Gama's diaries ended up in the possession of Governor [[Peter Beckford]] of [[Jamaica]],<ref name="AC4 DB">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Database: "De Gama Diary Extract"]]</ref> who also managed to collect at least four of the manuscript's pages by the early 18th century. The diary page was eventually taken from the Beckford estate, and eventually collected by the pirate-turned-Assassin [[Edward Kenway]] between 1715 and 1722.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

			==Behind the scenes==
			Vasco da Gama is a historical figure who was first mentioned in the 2010 Facebook game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''. In the 2013 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'', and in its 2026 remake, ''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced]]'', a page purportedly of one of his diaries can be collected by the player. It is, in fact, page 30 of {{Wiki\|pt:Roteiro da primeira viagem de Vasco da Gama à Índia\|the journal}} covering his first voyage to India, the authorship of which is attributed to either {{Wiki\|Álvaro Velho}} or {{Wiki\|João de Sá}}.<ref>{{WP\|pt:Roteiro da primeira viagem de Vasco da Gama à Índia}}</ref> The text is of the days preceding and including Easter 1498, as the expedition arrives first at [[Mombasa]] and later {{Wiki\|Malindi\|Melinde}}.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://arquivodigital.cm-porto.pt/Conteudos/Conteudos_BPMP/MS-804/MS-804_item1/P34.html\|title=Roteiro da primeira viagem de Vasco da Gama à Índia, 1497-1499, página 30\|archiveurl=\|archivedate=\|author=Biblioteca Pública Municipal do Porto\|date=\|publisher=\|accessdate=31 August 2026\|pages=}}</ref>
