PIMENTEL, Manoel (pc-men-tel'), Portuguese geographer, born in Lisbon in 1650; died there in 1719. He received a fine education and succeeded his father as cosmographer, and became in 1718 preceptor of the prince that reigned afterward under the name of Joseph I. He went several times to South America to collect materials and docmnents for his works, and was also appointed commissioner to determine the limits of the colony of Sacramento on the river Plate, residing three years in the country and preparing a map. His principal work is "Arte practica de navegar e roteiro das viagensas costas maritimas do Brasil, Guinea, Angola, Indias e ilhas orientaes e occidentaes" (Lisbon, 1699; revised ed., 1712). Navarrette in his "Disertacion sobre la historia de la Nautica" and Barbosa Machado in his "Bibliotheca Lusitana" praise Pimentel as one of the a, blest writers of his time on the geography of South America.
