ESSAY ON: Corn’s Magellan

Number of Pages 8

This research paper: Charles Corn (1998) took exception to what he calls traditional historical accounts of Magellan’s unattained search for the unattained Spice Islands and specifically posits that Magellan was obsessed with Columbus’s western route and never made it to the islands due to the fact that he was pursuing other obsessions. While Corn quotes a few other historians, particularly Samuel Elliott Morrison and Leonardo Argansolo, he states that only the Spanish historians hold the view that Magellan ever visited the spice islands. Yet, a series of historical records maintained in Lisbon by Portugal historians have always held that Magellan never made it to the Spice Islands. 9 works cited. jvCrnMag.rtf
