Note 296-2 — LETTER OF DR. CHANCA ON THE SECOND VOYAGE OF COLUMBUS
Reading edition
Unos gosques grandes. The French translation has gros carlins, “large pug-dogs.” Bernaldez calls these dogs, gozcos pequeños, “small curs.” “Cur” is the common meaning for gozque or gosque. See Oviedo, lib. XII., cap. V., for a description of these native dogs which soon became extinct.
