Instead, she argues that they were the result of the collisions between several distinct worlds, including the real and mythical geography of the Old World, Portuguese and Catalan naming traditions, and the knowledge and mapping practices of the Taino inhabitants of the Caribbean. Rather than reflecting the Spanish desire for an orderly empire, Columbus's collection of place names was fractured and fragmented - the product of the explorer's dynamic relationship with the inhabitants, nature, and geography of the Caribbean Basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo complement Guzauskyte's argument, the book also features the first comprehensive list of the more than two hundred Columbian place names that are documented in his \u003cem\u003ediarios\u003c\/em\u003e and other contemporary sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9.1 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 16, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52636188999987,"sku":"9781442647466","price":145.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/2XJSujjb3Y9781442647466.webp?v=1762267955","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/christopher-columbuss-naming-in-the-diarios-of-the-four-voyages-1492-1504-a-discourse-of-negotiation-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
