Amerigo Vespucci Bücher

Während Columbus bis zu seinem Tod wahrscheinlich davon ausgeht, er habe den Seeweg nach Asien gefunden, ist Amerigo Vespucci der richtigen Überzeugung, dass es sich bei den neu entdeckten Küstenlandschaften um einen eigenen Kontinent handeln müsse. In seinen in Briefform überlieferten Reiseberichten Mundus Novus und Vier Seefahrten, die zu seinen Lebzeiten nie angezweifelt worden sind, betont er dies immer wieder – bis der Kartograph Martin Waldseemüller zusammen mit dem Humanisten Matthias Ringmann 1507 eine Weltkarte veröffentlicht, die den neuen Kontinent erstmals aufnimmt und mit dem Namen versieht: »America«.

This reprint preserves the original 1893 edition of Columbus's letter to Luis de Sant'Angel, offering readers a glimpse into the historical context of Columbus's voyages. It provides insights into his discoveries and the significance of his communication with the Spanish court, making it a valuable resource for those interested in exploration history and early European interactions with the Americas.
