'''Martino de Judicibus''' ({{lang-es|'''Martín de Judicibus'''}}) was a [[Genoa|Genoese]] or Savonese<ref>Documents related to the questioning performed by the Spanish [[Maximilianus Transylvanus|authorities]] after the 18 survivors of the voyage returned to Seville in 1522 report that de Judicibus was born in [[Savona]], [[Italy]].</ref> [[Chief Steward]]. He served with [[Ferdinand Magellan]] on his historical voyage to find a westward route to the [[Spice Islands]] of [[Indonesia]]<ref>A. Pigafetta, «Il viaggio di Magellano intorno al mondo», review by James Alexander ROBERTSON, Cleveland USA, 1906, Ed. Arthur Clark</ref>. His history is preserved in the nominative registers at the ''Archivo General de Indias'' in [[Seville]], [[Spain]]. The family name is referred to with the exact Latin patronymic, "de Judicibus".

He was initially assigned to the caravel ''Concepción'', one of five ships of the small Spanish fleet of Magellan. By the order of [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles V]] of Spain, the purpose of the fleet was to [[Circumnavigation|circumnavigate]] the Earth by discovering a southwest passage connecting the [[Atlantic Ocean|Atlantic]] to the [[Pacific Ocean|Pacific]]. Cartographers at the time believed the passage to be very probable from a geographic point of view, but nobody had trustworthy information about the supposed passage.

The real strategic purpose of the expedition was to look for a new maritime way to the Spice Islands of Indonesia, avoiding the route around Africa whose western and southern harbors were all in the hands of [[Portuguese Empire|Portugal]]. Magellan was also tasked to prove that the Spice Islands were really west of the anti-meridian borderline of Portugal according to the [[Treaty of Tordesillas]], therefore becoming property of Spain and not it's current owner, Portugal. Lastly, new territories discovered were to be annexed to the already immense [[Spanish Empire]].

Martino de Judicibus embarked on the expedition with the rank of ''merino'' or Chief Steward. The expedition set sail on [[August 10]] [[1519]] from St. Lucar, the harbor of Seville, for a voyage which ended 2 years, 11 months and 3 days later on [[September 6]] [[1522]], when ''Victoria'', the only surviving ship, returned to the harbor of departure after completing the first circumnavigation of the Earth. On board the small ship only 18 men out of the original 235 crew survived. Among the survivors there were only two Italians, Antonio Lombardo (Pigafetta) and Martino de Judicibus.
