The Portuguese tt-led the way by Af:rlaa and suo­ ceeded. Vasoo daGama rounded t he Cap., salled up the iast­ ern coast of Af'riofl and crossed to Ind1a. The S,an1.a.rc!a eat sail in t he 'O ppos ite direction and t a iling tn the ir origi­ nal design, found instead a New World. That the newly dis ... covered lands "ere to be a source ot ,C!t1ae ord and contention bet"een the two oountr-t e& was 800n a pparent .. The, rulers of Portugal and Spain appealed t o Pope Alexander VI , to as tabU.ah the spheres of influence. In his fstI'Jotts Line of J;)emQroatlon of 1493, .hloh was later amende d and ratlf1ed by the Treaty of Tordas1l1as, the Pope fixed t he limits of eaoh country's future e xplore.t1ons. 1 Ipope Alexander VI , on the 4th of May , 1493, issued a bull, by virtu. of his a post.011oa l and pontifioal power by whioh he established 11 line 01' I lml tatton, runn1.ng trom the North and South poles" distant one hundred leagues west of the Azores and the Cape Verde Islands , giving t o Spain all t he territory" whieh she had disoovered, or mlghtdiscoverjl to the "est. and which had not been taken poss ession of by any Christ1an monarch at any t1.l!!$ pPElceding Chr1stmas, 1492 . To the Portuguese , i n s intl 1ar mar ner, and 6ubjeet to the same prov1so, the Pope gr a.nted a ll the terri tory which lay to t;he eas t of the 1 1ne of 11ml ta HOD . Because there Was some d1.s .. satisfaction as to t he diviSion , a meeting wa s arranged be .. 6 tween t he comm issioners of Spain nnd Portugal at 'l'ordaslllas, in Spain, in 1494 . 131 the Treaty of 1'ord9.8111a8, thtl line of demaroation was shifted to suoh a posit1on that it should pau l' north and south, three hundred and seventy leagues / west of the Cape Verde Islands • all to the west of that limitation to belong t o Spa.in , and all to the east to Portu ... ga l~ This 'Preaty W9.$ confirmed by the. Pope in $. papal bull of June 24; 1506. Spain and Portugal, a t this +1:me were better qualified f or Bxploration, more consolidat ed, more nearly come t o theIr prime , more full of expansive forae than the people of Northern Europa, so that. their history comb~ned w1~h the1r geograph1oal position made them foremost i n exploration and oolonization. Both Spain and Portugal looked to the Sou t hwe s t , in p,art gUided no doubt by the Canaries , Madeira, and the Azores . From these semi-mythica.l goals of ancient navtgatlon, wind and thQ tide presoribed the line of disoovery. Thus we find that the We s t Indies , Oentral and South Amerioa w~r e dlacQvered before the North Am.rl~an Oontinent. Easier t o reaoh than l~orth Amerloa, the 'West Indies , and Centra.l Amerioa were also more attraotive whenreaohed. The Span .. iards found r i ohes beyond their hopes, pearls in t he se a ~ gold and silver in the so11 , and a 1'a08 of n$.t1ves who could bO forced to fish for the one , and mine for the other. Thus, for a ce ntury after Oolumbus t'lrst satled to the west, whil Ce ntral and South America became organized into a colleotion of S.panish provinces the ext%'eme Nort h wa·a lett to Basque , Breton and English fishermen. ' ~, Difficult to reaoh, cold and unattraotive when roached, North Am&rio4 came to be oonsidered as B stepping stone to another goal .. The explorers, therefore, kept ' perpetually ./ push1ng on I . seeking a northwest passage to Ohina. France and England were late comers to the :f1eld of explo­ ration and oolon1zatlQn. France W9:8 continually hampered by oont1nGntal troubles, and England had not as yet assumed the proud. title. M1stress of the Seas. Both oountries re­ sented the papal partition between Portugal and Spaln, and eomple tel,. d1srega.rc1ed 1 t ..

For Allison Acknowledgements Crafting this dissertation, like the overall experience of graduate school, occasionally left me adrift at sea. At other times it saw me stuck in the doldrums. Periodically I was tossed around by tempestuous waves. But two beacons always pointed me to quiet harbors where I gained valuable insights, developed new perspectives, and acquired new momentum. My advisor and mentor, Josh Piker, has been incredibly generous with his time, ideas, advice, and encouragement. His constructive critique of my thoughts, methodology, and writing (I never realized I was prone to so many split infinitives and unclear antecedents) was a tremendous help to a graduate student beginning his career. In more ways than he probably knows, he remains for me an exemplar of the professional historian I hope to become. And as a barbecue connoisseur, he is particularly worthy of deference and emulation.

  • The Makers of Canada: Champlain
    The Makers Of Canada: Champlain By N.-E. Dionne The Makers Of Canada: Champlain CHAPTER I CHAMPLAIN'S FIRST VOYAGE TO AMERICA SAMUEL CHAMPLAIN, the issue of the marriage of Antoine Champlain and Marguerite Le Roy, was born at Brouage, now Hiers Brouage, a small village in the province of Saintonge, France, in the year 1570, or according to the Biographie Saintongeoise in 1567. His parents belonged to the Catholic religion, as their first names would seem to indicate. When quite young Samuel Champlain was entrusted to the care of the parish priest, who imparted to him the elements of education and instilled his mind with religious principles. His youth appears to have glided quietly away, spent for the most part with his family, and in assisting his father, who was a mariner, in his wanderings upon the sea. The knowledge thus obtained was of great service to him, for after a while he became not only conversant with the life of a mariner, but also with the science of geography and of astronomy. When Samuel Champlain was about twenty years of age, he tendered his services to Marshal d'Aumont, one of the chief commanders of the Catholic army in its expedition against the Huguenots. When the League had done its work and the army was disbanded in 1598, Champlain returned to Brouage, and sought a favourable opportunity to advance his fortune in a manner more agreeable, if possible, to his tastes, and more compatible with his abilities. In the meantime Champlain did not remain idle, for he resolved to find the means of making a voyage to Spain in order "to acquire and cultivate acquaintance, and make a true report to His Majesty (Henry IV) of the particularities which could not be known to any Frenchmen, for the reason that they have not free access there." He left Blavet at the beginning of the month of August, and ten days after he arrived near Cape Finisterre.

Paris: Classiques Garnier, 2015. 349 pp. Bibliography and index. 35€ (hb). ISBN 978-2-8124-4594-1. Review by Christopher Hodson, Brigham Young University. Les Nouveaux Mondes juridiques is nothing if not ambitious. Interdisciplinary to the core, geographically expansive, and eager to flout standards of periodization, this collection takes its readers on a tour through connections between law and literature in an age when legal pluralism swept into and transformed the European political imagination. Early encounters with indigenous American societies, of course, triggered the greatest outburst of thought and theorizing about alternative forms of government, the meaning of life under natural law, just war doctrine in a world of hard-to-interpret legal systems, and the juridical status of non-Christians. But, as Lombart’s book demonstrates, these sixteenth-century reflections were rooted in medieval encounters with Islam and the mysterious civilizations of Asia and the Indian Ocean world. Beginning in the late eleventh century with the foundation of Outremer on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean, the problem of legal pluralism not only informed specific strains of European writing on matters juridical, anthropological, and religious, it also formed “une matrice dans la production du texte (qu’il soit ou non de fiction)” (p. 9). In other words, debates over law in an expanding world transcended the particular to shape multiple medieval and early modern genres and modes of thought.

  • Nicolas Deny S: the Chronology and Historiography of an Acadian Hero
    BERNARD POTHIER Nicolas Deny s: The Chronology and Historiography of an Acadian Hero The place of honour reserved for Nicolas Denys has been an enviable one. Traditionally, historians of both English-speaking Canada and French-Canada have presented the image, largely, of an honest and virtuous man, steadfast, upright, sincere and tenacious in his determination to secure an honourable livelihood from the Acadian setting he allegedly had come to love. Denys, in short, has been perhaps the most endearing historical figure of Acadia. From the 1950's, however, a large volume of hitherto unknown documents, collateral to his own writings, was brought to light by diligent searchers! Although it became possible from the mid-1950's to reappraise the significance of Denys' career in Acadia, very little in fact was undertaken. This paper proposes to review the career of Nicolas Denys in the light of recent findings, and to relate his activities to New France in the seventeenth century and the development of French trade and commerce overseas. It is proposed as well to review briefly the historiography of Nicolas Denys which, in many respects, has evolved in a manner less dependant upon the rules of historical scholarship than upon the emotions generated by national and reg­ ional pride. II Nicolas Denys' origins are obscure. The family was from Tours or that gen­ eral area where, seemingly, they had been established for several generations? Nicolas' great-grandfather, Mathurin Denis, was a "capitaine des gardes du 1 Especially noteworthy are the Papiers Fouquet which were discovered in 1953 by René Baudry at the Archives Départementales de l'Ille-et-VHaine at Rennes.

  • Jan Jansenn and His Sonanthony
    The Most Remarkable Lives of JJJaaannn JJJaaannnssseeennn and his son AAAnnnttthhhooonnnyyy (or) Does 577 microliters* of my blood speak Dutch? *see reverse ©2013 Brian A. Smith, D.C. *577 microliters is based on the following: Three Assumptions: (see Comments on Assumptions, below) 1. I am included in the population of “average adult males”; 2. The possibility that JAN JANSEN is a direct ancestor of ours through more than one of his children exists but is, herein, ignored. This is not as rare as you may think; I have already found two ancestral couples that we descend from through two of their children; and 3. Each ancestor in a particular generation contributes a fractional amount to our genetic make-up, i.e. “blood” equal to the total number of ancestors in that generation, thus: a. Mom and Dad each contribute exactly 50% to our DNA – 2 people in that generation contribute exactly ½ of the DNA we have; and b. Each of our 4 grandparents contributes exactly ¼, or 25%, of the DNA we have; and so on… Two Numbers: 1. The “average adult male” contains 160 fluid ounces of blood; (and) th 1 2. Jan Jansen is one of our 8,192 11 -great-grandparents therefore he contributes /8192 to our genetic make-up. & Three Calculations: 1 1. /8192 of 160 fluid ounces = 0.0195 fluid ounces; 2. 0.0195 fluid ounces = 0.576684 milliliters; and finally, 3. 0.576684 ≈ 577 microliters. Comments on Assumptions: 1. Since it is a given that I am better than average, there may be some adjustment to the amount of blood I actually have; unfortunately whether this adjustment is up or down has not been, to my vast knowledge, adequately explored; 2.
