Note 210 — FOOTNOTES:

Harrisse, Notes on Columbus, no. 126. The Coronica de Aragon, of Fabricius de Vagad, which was published in 1499, makes reference to the new discoveries (Bibl. Amer. Vet., Additions, no. 9), as does the Coronica van Coellen, published at Cologne, 1499, where, on the verso of folio 339, it speaks of “new lands found, in which men roam like beasts” (Murphy, no. 254; Baer, Incunabeln, 1884, no. 172, at 160 marks; London Catalogue (1884), £12 10s.). In 1498, at Venice, was published Marc. Ant. Sabellicus’ In rapsodiam historiarum (copy in British Museum), which has a brief account of Columbus’ family and his early life. This was enlarged in the second part, published at Venice in 1504 (Bibl. Amer. Vet., no. 21). An anchor lost by Columbus on this voyage, at Trinidad, is said to have been recovered in 1880 (Bulletin de la Société Géographique d’Anvers, v. 515).
