DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Letters of Amerigo Vespucci, and Other Documents Illustrative of His Career: Translated, With Notes and an Introduction Porto Seguro in Brazil, published a book at Lima,1 where he was accredited as Brazilian Minister, with the object of rehabilitating the Florentine's character for honesty, by arguing that the story of the alleged voyage in 1497-98 was worthy of credit. This makes it desirable that the whole question should once more be discussed. Varnhagen at least deserves the thanks of all students of the history of American discovery for having published, in an accessible form, both the Latin and the Italian texts of the letters of Vespucci.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAdventurer, merchant and mapper of the New World, Amerigo Vespucci's life is fascinating and vivid - his letters, published here in full, reveal his discoveries. Born in Florence in the mid-15th century, Vespucci expressed an interest in the newly-discovered lands across the Atlantic Ocean from an early age. Educated by his uncle, a learned Dominican friar, it was in youth that Vespucci displayed a talent for money matters and mathematics - this gift for figures would pay dividends during his later sea expeditions, which saw him draw many of the first maps ever made of the coastline of South America. This book does not merely contain Vespucci's own writings, but also the letters of other authors who refer to him and his accomplishments. Christopher Columbus had praise for Vespucci's competence, while he is alluded to multiple times in the writings of historian Bartolome de las Casas. The compiler, annotator and translator of these relevant correspondences is Clements R. Markham, who is keen to reveal the character and deeds that underpin Amerigo Vespucci's reputation as a great explorer. As a gateway into the exploratory and navigational events accompanying the Italian Renaissance, this book is superb. All of Markham's original notes and scholarly references are included, being appended to the conclusion of the book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Letters of Amerigo Vespucci and Other Documents Illustrative of His Career. Translated, with Notes and an Introduction, by Clements R. Markham. Amerigo Vespucci, March 9, 1454 - February 22, 1512, was an Italian explorer, financier, navigator and cartographer who first demonstrated that Brazil and the West Indies did not represent Asia's eastern outskirts as initially conjectured from Columbus' voyages, but instead constituted an entirely separate landmass hitherto unknown to people of the Old World. Colloquially referred to as the New World, this second super continent came to be termed "Americas", deriving its name from Americus, the Latin version of Vespucci's first name. At the invitation of king Manuel I of Portugal, Vespucci participated as observer in several voyages that explored the east coast of South America between 1499 and 1502. On the first of these voyages he was aboard the ship that discovered that South America extended much further south than previously thought.
