One person who was there to witness the event and to soak up the propaganda was hopeful, but temporarily unemployed, middle-aged Genoese navigator with graying red hair, named Christopher Columbus. He had, he recorded later, seen the "royal banner of your Highness, raised by force of arms on the towers of the Alkhambra." This he took as a sign that his own great venture -- to sail a Christian fleet westward to "the lands of India and of a prince called the Great Khan ... to see the princes, peoples and lands and their disposition and all the rest of whar should be undertaken for their conversion to our holy faith" -- would, at Isabella's hands, and at long last, meet with success it deserved. ~ Page 221
Holy scripture testifies that Our Lord made the earthly Paradise in which he placed the Tree of Life. From it there flowed four main rivers: the Ganges in India, the Tigris and the Euphrates in Asia, which cut through a mountain range, and fro =m Mesopotamia and flow into Persi, and Nile, which rises in Ethiopia and flows into the sea at Alexandria. I do not find and have never found any Greek or Latin writings which defnitely state the worldly situation of the earthly Paradise, nor have I seen any world map which established its position except by deduction. ~ Page 310
