Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces Paolo Toscanelli's correspondence with the adventurer Christopher Columbus. Toscanelli authored a letter that described a shorter westward sea route to the lands of spices than the one the Portuguese were pursuing by way of their African exploration. This letter inspired Columbus to plan his voyage to the Indies. However, Columbus' map may have had an ulterior purpose; he was trying to circumnavigate Africa to reach India. The subject of the book is the rivalry between Portugal and Spain, and the Portuguese attempts to establish a sea route to the East. The book also focuses on the role that Columbus played in this rivalry. The book provides insights into the motivations and ambitions of European explorers during the Age of Discovery. It also sheds light on the complex relationship between science, exploration, and imperialism during this period. The author argues that Columbus's voyage was not simply a quest for new lands, but also a quest for knowledge and understanding of the world.
