It was pursuant to this treaty that, in 1492, the Catholic sovereigns ordered Columbus not to go to La Mina; and that, in 1493, the King of Portugal claimed the lands discovered by Columbus as his own.

Text: MS. The original manuscript of the ratification, signed by Ferdinand and Isabella at Toledo, March 6, 1480, is in the National Archives at Lisbon, gav. 17, maço 6, no. 16. See also above, note II of this document.

Text: Printed. Spanish. The whole of the treaty, except the formal pre­ liminary part, is printed in Joseph Soares da Sylva, Collecçam dos Docu­ mentos, com que se Authorizam as Memorias para a Vida del Rey D. João o I., tom. IV. of Memorias para a Historia de Portugal, que com­ prehendem o Governo del Rey D. Joaõ o I. ( 1730- 1734), doc. no. 36, pp. 270 ff. That Soares printed this treaty by mistake appears from a collation of his "doc. no. 36" with the manuscript register entitled "Demarquaco?s e Contractos", preserved in the National Archives at Lisbon. Soares intended to print the treaty concluded on October 30, 1431, between John I. (d. 1433) and the King of Castile, a copy of which covers ff. 142-165 of the above-mentioned register. Preceding this treaty, on ff. 113-140, is the treaty of Alcaçovas which confirms and partially incorporates the treaty of 1431, Soares's "doc. no. 36" begins with f. 117 of the register, i. e., with the treaty of 1431as it stands in the treaty of Alcaçovas; it continues through the treaty of Alcaqovas and through the first part of the original treaty of 1431, and ends at f. 146 of the register. The eighth and ninth articles of the "new articles" of the treaty of Alcaçovas are printed in Alguns Documentos, pp. 42-45, from the above- mentioned register.

Text: Printed. Portuguese. A Portuguese version of a portion of the eighth article is printed by H. Harrisse, Diplomatic History of America ( 1897), p. 156.

Text: Printed. Latin. A Latin version of the eighth article is in the bull of June 21, 1481, Doc. 4.
