Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus, 1492-1892 The four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus is not far off. It is not to be believed that the fourth centennial of an event that has been of such vast importance to human affairs will be passed by without some public ceremonies. W'hat they should be, it is, perhaps, too early to suggest; but what the country to which belong the honor and glory of the discovery of the New World thinks of such a celebration may not be without interest. The object of this article is, therefore, to show the opinions in Spain regarding this subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Discovery of America: An Address Delivered on Columbus Day, October 21, 1892, in the First Baptist Church, Philadelphia Gathered as we are, in answer to the invitation of our Chief Magistrate, to commemorate the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, it is meet, first of all, that we recall as briefly as possible the story of this discovery. Not that it was, strictly speaking, a discovery; it was rather a re-discovery. For America had already been inhabited we know not how many centuries, or even milleniums of centuries. For, believing as I do the Bible account of the origin of man, these American aborigines must have come in some way or another from the land of Eden. Did they pass from Asia to America before these continents were separated by Behring Strait? Did they drift with the winds across the Atlantic? Did these forerunners of Columbus purposely look for a new world? Were the Northmen the original re-discoverers? These and similar questions are fascinating problems which no geographer or ethnologist has yet been able to solve.

Download or read book The Diario of Christopher Columbus s First Voyage to America 1492 1493 written by and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This definitive edition of Columbus's account of the voyage presents the most accurate printed version of his journal available to date. Unfortunately both Columbus's original manuscript, presented to Ferdinand and Isabella along with other evidence of his discoveries, and a single complete copy have been lost for centuries. The primary surviving record of the voyage-part quotation, part summary of the complete copy-is a transcription made by Bartolome de las Casas in the 1530s. This new edition of the Las Casas manuscript presents its entire contents-including notes, insertions, and canceled text-more accurately, completely, and graphically than any other Spanish text published so far. In addition, the new translation, which strives for readability and accuracy, appears on pages facing the Spanish, encouraging on-the- spot comparisons of the translation with the original. Study of the work is further facilitated by extensive notes, documenting differences between the editors' transcription and translation and those of other transcribers and translators and summarizing current research and debates on unanswered current research and debates on unanswered questions concerning the voyage. In addition to being the only edition in which Spanish and English are presented side by side, this edition includes the only concordance ever prepared for the Diario. Awaited by scholars, this new edition will help reduce the guesswork that has long plagued the study of Columbus's voyage. It may shed light on a number of issues related to Columbus's navigational methods and the identity of his landing places, issues whose resolution depend, at least in part, on an accurate transcription of the Diario. Containing day-by-day accounts of the voyage and the first sighting of land, of the first encounters with the native populations and the first appraisals of his islands explored, and of a suspenseful return voyage to Spain, the Diario provides a fascinating and useful account to historians, geographers, anthropologists, sailors, students, and anyone else interested in the discovery-or in a very good sea story. Oliver Dunn received the PH.D. degree from Cornell University. He is Professor Emeritus in Purdue University and a longtime student of Spanish and early history of Spanish America. James E. Kelley, Jr., received the M.A. degree from American University. A mathematician and computer and management consultant by vocation, for the past twenty years he has studied the history of European cartography and navigation in late-medieval times. Both are members of the Society for the History of Discoveries and have written extensively on the history of navigation and on Columbus's first voyage, Although they remain unconvinced of its conclusions, both were consultants to the National geographic Society's 1986 effort to establish Samana Cay as the site of Columbus's first landing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus and the Participation of the Jews in the Spanish and Portuguese Discoveries The question whether the Jews assisted in these discoveries has already heretofore been propounded, * but it has never before been care fully investigated. The credit of having given the first impulse to the present work belongs to one of the most public-spirited citizens of America, the venerable Mr. Lazarus Straus, and to his son, Hon. Oscar S. Straus of New York, formerly minister of the United States in Turkey and Since 1892 president of the American Jewish Historical Society. Entrusted with this honorable but diffi cult mission, I determined to visit Spain in order to complete my collection of material by exploring the Spanish archives and libraries.
