Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Argentine Republic Arbitration Upon a Part of the National Territory of Misiones Disputed by the United States of Brazil, Vol. 1: Argentine Evidence Laid Before the President of the United States of America We were aware that from long ago you had intended to search after and discover some distant and unknown islands, and remote and unknown lands, never before visited by men, in order to reduce their natives and dwellers to the worship of our Redeemer and to the profession of the Catholic Faith, but being prevented hitherto from carrying out this holy and laudable purpose by your strenuous efforts in securing the Kingdom of Granada, you, having finally, by the will of God, conquered that Kingdom and decided to fulfill your wishes, did appoint to search after diligently by sea, hitherto unsailed, those main lands and remote and unknown islands, the dear son Christopher Columbus, man verily worthy, and very commendable and apt for so great an enterprise, with men and ships prepared therefor, not without the greatest toils, perils and expenses, that at last, through the Divine mercy, sailing by the Ocean sea with great diligence, found several most remote islands and main lands never before found by other men, wherein a numerous race dwells in peace, undressed and unwilling to partake of meat, as we are told, which people, according to what your envoys have been able to ascertain, believe in the existence in heaven of a God Creator, and seem most willing to embrace the Catholic faith and to live hereon in good customs; it being hoped that, were they duly instructed, the name of the Saviour Our Lord Jesus Christ would be readily confessed at the mentioned lands and islands; and that the above named Christopher caused to be built in one of the most important of said islands a fort well ammunitioned, to garrison which he appointed a few Christians from among those he had brought with him to look for some other far and unknown islands and lands; and that in said lands and islands already discovered, gold, spices and many other precious things of divers kind and quality are found: Whereof, carefully considering all these things, and chiefly the exaltation and extension of the Catholic Faith (as it becomes to Catholic Kings and Princes) you intended, following the example of the Kings your ancestors of illustrious memory, to submit the mentioned main lands and islands, and to reduce their natives and inhabitants to the Catholic Faith: We, therefore, praising much, in the Lord name, your holy and laudable purpose, and wishing it to be duly accomplished and that our Saviour´s name be implanted in those lands, must exhort you in the Lord and by the obligation of the sacred baptism, by which you are bound to the apostolic precepts, and by the merciful entrails of our Lord Jesus Christ, and request you, should you intend to the such undertaking foster, to will and try with ready will and the zeal of true faith that the people dwelling in those lands and islands shall embrace the Christian Religion, in spite of all perils and toils, and in the firm hope and trust that the Almighty God shall look with favor upon your undertaking.
