Sojourn of Columbus at Barcelona and its afterglow
The article recounts Columbus’s reception by the Spanish court at Barcelona, the honors from King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, and the famous egg anecdote. It notes public adulation waning into later envy and the contrasting fate of his reputation, alongside brief digressions on extraordinary jumping feats, New Zealand scenery, infant digestion in heat, and the history of chemical matches.
