Primera epistola del Almirante don Cristóbal Colón dando cuenta de su gran descubrimiento

by Christopher Columbus

This is Christopher Columbus's first letter to the Spanish Crown, penned in 1493, offering a detailed account of his discovery of the “New World.” The letter, written in Latin, was a momentous communication, quickly disseminated throughout Europe and marking a pivotal moment in world history. It provides a unique perspective on the initial European encounters with the Americas, their initial impressions of the land and its people, and the profound impact of these interactions on the future course of global history. This seminal document not only offers a primary source for understanding the early stages of European exploration but also serves as a crucial historical artifact that highlights the intricate intersection of cultural exchange and the dawn of colonialism.
