BRIEF REPORT OF COLUMBUS:
In 1493, Christopher Columbus wrote a brief report concerning
his discoveries of "Islands of India beyond the Ganges." It
was intended as a public notice to announce his discoveries and to garner
support for another voyage. The first edition of this letter was printed
in Spanish in Barcelona in April 1493. Within the month a Latin translation
of the letter was published in Rome by Stephan Plannck. In its preamble,
exclusive credit was given to Fernando of Aragon for supporting the
expedition - omitting Isabel's support. Immediately Plannck published
a corrected edition, the one on display, and it was this Latin edition
that spread the news of discovery throughout Europe.
