Abstract


J. Münzer made a trip through the Iberian Peninsula during 1494 and 1495, about which he wrote an interesting account. His relation with American is based in several facts: Maximilian II had set him the task of writing a letter to the King John II of Portugal, which he did on July the 14th of 1493. It is possible that the theory expressed in that letter had influence in Colon s conception about his own discovery. On the other hand, Münzer gazed at the Indians of America in Sevilla and had a conversation with Bernardo Boil, Colons companion in his second trip, in Madrid. What Münzer wrote is one of the early testimonies about the discovery of America.
