Editorial note — DE ORBE NOVO
Francis Augustus MacNutt translation
[Note 9: His last will was published in the Documentos Ineditos, tom, xxxix., pp. 400-414.]
[Note 10: Harrisse, in his Christoph Colomb, fixes upon the 23d or 24th of September as the date of Martyr's death, believing that his last will was executed on his deathbed. There is, however, nothing that absolutely proves that such was the fact. The epitaph gives but the year. In the Documentos Ineditos the month of September is given in one place, that of October in another.]
