Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christopher Columbus, His Portraits and His Monuments, Vol. 2: A Descriptive Catalogue Although Columbus twice mentioned in his voluminous will that he was a native of Genoa, a dozen places still claim the honor of his birth, and several of them offer plausible evidence. Nothing is certain about his parentage, and his age is the subject of 'serious dispute. The same doubt that encircles his birth and his burial attends the various portraits that pretend to portray his features. The most reliable authorities (and the subject has been under discussion for two centuries) agree in the opinion that the face of Columbus was never painted or sketched or graven during his life. His portrait has been painted, like that of the Madonna, and those of the saints, by many famous artists, each depend ent upon the verbal descriptions given of the man by contemporaneous writers, and each conveying to the canvas his own conception of what the great seaman's face must have been; but it may not be said that any of the portraits are genuine, and it is believed that all of them are more or less fanciful.

Book Synopsis Dante, Columbus and the Prophetic Tradition by : Mary Alexandra Watt
Download or read book Dante, Columbus and the Prophetic Tradition written by Mary Alexandra Watt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the diverse factors that persuaded Christopher Columbus that he could reach the fabled "East" by sailing west, Dante, Columbus and the Prophetic Tradition considers, first, the impact of Dante’s Divine Comedy and the apocalyptic prophetic tradition that it reflects, on Columbus’s perception both of the cosmos and the eschatological meaning of his journey to what he called an ‘other world.’ In so doing, the book considers how affinities between himself and the exiled poet might have led Columbus to see himself as a divinely appointed agent of the apocalypse and his enterprise as the realization of the spiritual journey chronicled in the Comedy. As part of this study, the book necessarily examines the cultural space that Dante’s poem, its geography, cosmography and eschatology, enjoyed in late fifteenth century Spain as well as Columbus’s own exposure to it. As it considers how Italian writers and artists of the late Renaissance and Counter Reformation received the news of Columbus’ ‘discovery’ and appropriated the figure of Dante and the pseudo-prophecy of the Comedy to interpret its significance, the book examines how Tasso, Ariosto, Stradano and Stigliani, in particular, forge a link between Dante and Columbus to present the latter as an inheritor of an apostolic tradition that traces back to the Aeneid. It further highlights the extent to which Italian writers working in the context of the Counter Reformation, use a Dantean filter to propagate the notion of Columbus as a new Paul, that is, a divinely appointed apostle to the New World, and the Roman Church as the rightful emperor of the souls encountered there.

This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Christopher Columbus That which Columbus tells us about his studies is nearly all that we know about the mat ter. One of his letters to Ferdinand and Isa bella shows us that to the theories of the period he joined an experience of twenty-three years of navigation, that he had seen all the Levant, the Occ1dent and the North; that he had Visited Eng land and made several voyages to Lisbon and the coasts of Guinea. He also speaks himself of an excursion that he made to Chios, and of an expo dition to Tunis of which he was given charge by King Rena of Anjou. But of all these divers voyages we possess no pre01se information suf ficient to fix the dates, still less the Circum stances. His son does indeed state that Columbus was at Lisbon in 1470, but he neglected to go into. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of Christopher Columbus "The Lord," says Christopher Columbus himself in his "Prophecies," written toward the end of his life, "has blessed me abundantly with the knowledge of marine things. Of the science of the stars he has given me that which would suffice; so also of geometry and arithmetic. Besides, he has granted me the mind and skill to draw globes and place upon them in their proper places the various cities, rivers and mountains. I have studied all sorts of writings: history, the chronicles, philosophy, and some other arts for which Our Lord quickened my intelligence and understanding."
