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.To complement Gu?auskyt?'s argument, the book also features the first comprehensive list of the more than two hundred Columbian place names that are documented in his diarios and other contemporary sources. 410 0$aToronto Iberic ;$v12. 606 $aNames, Geographical$zCaribbean Area 606 $aNames, Geographical$zSouth America 607 $aCaribbean Area$xDiscovery and exploration$xSpanish 607 $aSouth America$xDiscovery and exploration$xSpanish 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNames, Geographical 615 0$aNames, Geographical 676 $a972.902 700 $aGuz?auskyte?$b Evelina$f1975-$0899141 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465613403321 996 $aChristopher Columbus's naming in the diarios of the four voyages (1492-1504)$92008804 997 $aUNINA
