Your Highnesses, as Catholic Christians, and princes who loveand promote the holy Christian faith, and are enemies of the
doctrine of Mahomet, and of all idolatry and heresy, determined
to send me, Christopher Columbus, to the above-mentioned coun-
tries of India, to see the said princes, people, and territories, and
to learn their disposition and the proper method of converting
them to our holy faith; and furthermore directed that I should
not proceed by land to the East, as is customary, but by a West-
erly route, in which direction we have hitherto no certain evidence
that anyone has gone.
