Excerpt from Verrazano the Navigator: Or Notes on Giovanni Da Verrazano and on a Planisphere of 1529 Illustrating His American Voyage in 1524; With a Reduced Copy of the Map; A Paper Read Before the American Geographical Society of New York November 28th 1871

The publication in 1825, edited by Navarrete, of Spanish documents relating to the discovery and explo ration of America, followed by the interesting life of Columbus by Washington Irving, and the Examen Critique by Von Humboldt, opened a field for studies in American comparative geography that is becoming fruitful of results. The last named work is a guide which all must consult. With a master hand the author combines and collates all attainable materials, and draws light from sources which he first brings to bear on his exhaustive investigations.

The interest thus newly awakened by the appearance of these works, lent fresh activity to such researches, bringing out numerous hitherto neglected or unknown documents. Among these we may name the Ooleccz''on de Documentos In�ditos in forty - one volumes, of which a portion relate to the spanish-american possessions, and a last series devoted exclusively to America y Oceania, begun in 1864, and of which we have seen eleven volumes, ending m 1869. The Academy''s edition of Oviedo''s full work, in five folio volumes, is another contribution of a most valuable nature to early Ameri can history. Unluckily all these Spanish works are not accompanied by proper indexes, so that it becomes an arduous task to consult them.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the enigmatic life and voyages of Giovanni da Verrazano, a Florentine navigator who explored the eastern coast of North America in 1524. The author meticulously examines Verrazano's career, exploring his roles as a privateer and explorer and uncovering his lesser-known exploits as a daring corsair who challenged the Spanish dominance of the New World. The book explores the historical context of Verrazano's voyage, situating it within the broader quest for a westward route to the Indies and the burgeoning competition between European powers for colonial expansion. It analyzes Verrazano's letter to King Francis I of France, providing a detailed account of his exploration and offering insight into the cartographic and geographical knowledge of the time. The author also investigates the recently rediscovered Planisphere of 1529, a remarkable document created by Verrazano's brother or relative, Jerome, which provides the earliest known map of the American coast based on actual exploration. Through this meticulous analysis of historical documents and maps, the book illuminates the fascinating world of early exploration and the complex historical dynamics that shaped the discovery and colonization of the Americas. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781332072361_0
