The author meticulously analyzes Columbus's methods for calculating the Earth's circumference, shedding light on the historical context…of geographical knowledge during the late 15th century. The book explores the controversial claim that Columbus verified the length of a terrestrial degree, offering a fresh perspective on his understanding of distances across the Atlantic. It further investigates Columbus's knowledge of Atlantic winds and currents, as evidenced by the route he took on his first voyage. The author delves into the debate surrounding Columbus's belief that he reached Asia on his fourth voyage and examines the identity of "Florida" on the Cantino map of 1502. By scrutinizing historical maps and Columbus's own writings, the book unveils the intricate interplay between geographical misconceptions, navigational practices, and the drive for exploration during this pivotal period. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the mind of one of history's most renowned explorers, revealing the complexities and limitations of geographical knowledge during the Age of Discovery.
