    Outline and Chart Lago Espanol.Ala.4.4.2015

    The Spanish Navigations in the SPANISH LAKE (Pacific Ocean) and their Precedents From the Discovery of the New World (Indies, later America) Spanish explorers threw themselves with “gusto” into further discoverings and expeditions. They carried in their crew not only the “conquerors” and explorers, but also priests, public administrators who would judge the area’s value for colonization, linguists, scientists, and artists. These complete set of crew members charted the coasts, the currents, the winds, the fauna and flora, to report back to the crown for future actions and references. A very important part of the Spanish explorations, is the extent and role of local peoples in Spain’s discoveries. It was the objective of the crown that friendly connections and integration be made. In fact there were “civil wars” among the crown and some “colonizers” to enforce the Laws of Indies which so specified. Today, some of this information has been lost, but most is kept in public and private Spanish Museums, Libraries, Archives and private collections not only in Spain but in the America’s, Phillipines, the Vatican, Germany, Holland, and other european countries, and of course the United States, which over its 200 year existence as a nation, also managed to collect important information of the early explorations. Following is a synopsis of the Spanish adventure in the Pacific Ocean (Lago Español) and its precedents.

While confirming several previously docu- mented trends − e.g. the adoption of erroneous Ptolemaic longitudes by 15th and 16th-century European cartographers, or the striking accuracy of Arabic-language tables of coordinates−, we have observed accurate LongMed values largely unnoticed by historians in 16th-century maps and noted that widely diverging LongMed values coexisted up to 1750, sometimes even within the works of one same author.

    When Christopher Columbus Came Ashore in 1492, He Wrote in His Diary

    When Christopher Columbus came ashore in 1492, he wrote in his diary, “This is the most beautiful land that human eyes have seen.” He would leave members of his family behind to colonize the island and would return to it after venturing throughout the Caribbean. In his will, he asked to be buried in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It was to this island a group of 22, mostly graduate nursing students and faculty from University of San Diego (www.sandiego.edu) , along with one dentist, would travel as a mission endeavor, to improve the health of school children of a rural school. Excitement ran high as the emails & gmails flashed back and forth, final arranges were gelling into a final plan. Were we actually going to the Caribbean? Over six months in the planning, and after 8 prior visits to La Republica Dominicana (Dominican Republic in English, indigenous Taino Indians called it Quisqueya), the trip was finally coming to fruition. It was decided that now was the time to include dental care in the overall plan to help the needy families far into the mountainous area near the international border with Haiti. Destination, El Cercado, to work at the school, Fe y Alegria (“Faith and Gladness”); the goal, examine students and their families in health screening as well as undertake a couple of research projects, one having to do with new techniques for diagnosing diabetes compared to traditional methods. But after having seen the severe need in oral disease, this was the year to begin inclusion of emergency dental care.

    Saint Louis University—Madrid Campus Department of Social Sciences and Humanities Course Syllabus. Spring 2021 Course Name and No.: HIST-3320 Early Modern History of Spain: 1469-1808 Credits: 3 Semester and Class Time: Spring 2021. Mon. and Wed 3:30 – 4:45. Zoom meetings Professor: Kevin Ingram (e-mail: [email protected]) Office hours: Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday 10:00-12:00. Students can arrange Zoom meetings within this time frame. Email inquiries from Monday to Friday will be answered promptly between the hours 9:00 am and 6: pm, Madrid time. Reading: Henry Kamen, Spain 1469-1714, third edition, and Course Reader on Blackboard Description: The course focuses on the socio-cultural environment of early-modern Spain, recently united politically through the marriage of Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon and through the conquest of the Islamic kingdom of Granada. How did the Spanish monarchy and church attempt to forge a national identity on a land of diverse cultures and languages, in which three ethno-cultural groups (Christians, Jews and Muslims) coincided? How did the character and socio-religious landscape of early modern Spain change through its imperial conquests and continuous wars of religion? Topics include the Reconquest of Spain; Spanish conquest and colonization of the Indies; the Inquisition as a political police force; Reformation and Counterreformation in Spain; and Diego Velázquez and the subtle art of social protest. Learning Objectives and Outcomes The students will be required to meditate on the development of a modern state and its effect on society and culture. By the end of the course they will have gained an insight into the complexities of early modern society and will have acquired some of the literary and rhetorical tools necessary for the expression of these complexities in their writing.
