Note 215-4 — JOURNAL OF THE FIRST VOYAGE OF COLUMBUS (continued 3)
Reading edition
It is remarkable that this report, which refers probably to Yucatan and to the relatively high state of culture of the Mayas, drew no further comment from Columbus. From our point of view it ought to have made a much greater impression than we have evidence that it did; from his point of view that he was off Asia it was just what was to be expected and so is recorded without comment.
