Columbus's epistolary announcement travelled from country to country in a late-medieval media event--and the rest, as has been observed, is history. The Letter has long been the object of speculation concerning its authorship and intention: British historian Cecil Jane questions whether Columbus could read and write prior to the first voyage while Demetrio Ramos argues that King Ferdinand and a minister composed the Letter and had it printed in the Spanish folio. The Letter has figured in studies of Spanish imperialism and of discovery and colonial period history, but it also offers insights into Columbus's passions and motives as he reinvents himself and retails his vision of Peter Martyr's Novus orbis to men and women for whom Columbus was as unknown as the places he claimed to have visited. The central feature of the book is its annotated variorum edition of the Spanish Letter, together with an annotated English translation and word and name glossaries"--Provided by publisher. 000853701 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000853701 60010 $$aColumbus, Christopher.$$tCarta (Feb. 18, 1493) 000853701 60010 $$aColumbus, Christopher$$vCorrespondence. 000853701 650_0 $$aExplorers$$zAmerica$$vCorrespondence. 000853701 650_0 $$aExplorers$$zSpain$$vCorrespondence. 000853701 651_0 $$aAmerica$$vEarly works to 1800. 000853701 651_0 $$aAmerica$$xDiscovery and exploration$$xSpanish$$vSources. 000853701 70012 $$aColumbus, Christopher.$$tCarta (Feb. 18, 1493).$$lEnglish. 000853701 70012 $$aColumbus, Christopher.$$tCarta (Feb. 18, 1493).$$lSpanish. 000853701 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWillingham, Elizabeth M.$$tMythical Indies and Columbus's apocalyptic letter : imagining the Americas in the late Middle Ages.$$dBrighton : Sussex Academic Press, 2015$$z9781845197001 000853701 852__ $$bebk 000853701 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4306788$$zOnline Access 000853701 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:853701$$pGLOBAL_SET 000853701 980__ $$aEBOOK 000853701 980__ $$aBIB 000853701 982__ $$aEbook 000853701 983__ $$aOnline
