Latin translation of a letter written by Columbus in February–March 1493 in Spanish describing his first voyage to the Americas. The Spanish original is addressed to Luis de Santángel while the Latin is addressed to Gabriel Sánchez, although they differ little in content; it is disputed whether Columbus sent versions of the letter to both or whether this is an error by the Latin translator. On LibraryThing the Latin is treated as a separate work from the Spanish, based on the general LT principle that dead-language editions are not combined with modern-language editions.
