There's a good book by William Manchester called "A World Lit Only By Fire: The Medieval Mind & The Renaissance" . It's broken into 3 sections; the last section is devoted to Magellan. I'd recommend this if you want the previous 2 sections as well dealing with high & late middle ages (basically explaining conditions leading up to Magellan and describing his world).
