About the Book

La mayor cosa despues de la creacion del mundo, sacando la encarnacion y muerte del que lo crio, es el descubrimiento de Indias; y asi las llaman Nuevo Mundo. Y no tanto te dicen nuevo por ser nuevamente hallado, cuanto por ser grandisimo y casi tan grande como el viejo, que contiene a Europa, Africa y Asia. Tambien se puede llamar nuevo por ser todas sus cosas diferentisimas de las del nuestro. Los animales en general, aunque son pocos en especie, son de otra manera; los peces del agua, las aves del aire, los arboles, frutas, hierbas y grano de la tierra, que no es pequena consideracion del Criador, siendo los elementos una misma cosa alla y aca. Empero los hombres son como nosotros, fuera del color, que de otra manera bestias y monstruos serian y no vendrian, como vienen de Adan. Mas no tienen letras, ni moneda, ni bestias de carga; cosas principalisimas para la policia y vivienda del hombre; que ir desnudos, siendo la tierra caliente y falta de lana y lino, no es novedad. Y como no conocen al verdadero Dios y Senor, estan en grandisimos pecados de idolatria, sacrificios de hombres vivos, comida de carne humana, habla con el diablo, sodomia, muchedumbre de mujeres y otros asi. Aunque todos los indios que son vuestros subjectos son ya cristianos por la misericordia y bondad de Dios, y por la vuestra merced y de vuestros padres y abuelos, que habeis procurado su conversion y cristiandad. El trabajo y peligro vuestros espanoles lo toman alegremente, asi en predicar y convertir como en descubrir y conquistar. Nunca nacion extendio tanto como la espanola sus costumbres, su lenguaje y armas, ni camino tan lejos por mar y tierra, las armas a cuestas. Pues mucho mas hubieran descubierto, subjectado y convertido si vuestra majestad no hubiera estado tan ocupado en otras guerras; aunque para la conquista de las Indias no es menester vuestra persona, sino vuestra palabra. Quiso Dios descubrir las Indias en vuestro tiempo y a vuestros vasallos, para que los convirtiesedes a su santa ley, como dicen muchos hombres sabios y cristianos. Comenzaron las conquistas de los indios acabadas la de moros, por que siempre guerreasen espanoles contra infieles; otorgo la conquista y conversion el papa; tomaste por letra Plus ultra, dando a entender el senorio de Nuevo Mundo. Justo es, pues, que vuestra majestad favorezca la conquista y los conquistadores, mirando mucho por los conquistados. Y tambien es razon que todos ayuden y ennoblezcan las Indias, unos con santa predicacion, otros con buenos consejos, otros con provechosas granjerias, otros con loables costumbres y policia. Por lo cual he yo escrito la historia: obra, ya lo conozco, para mejor ingenio y lengua que la mia; pero quise ver para cuanto era. Publicola tan presto porque, no tratando del Rey, no hay que aguardar. Intitulola a vuestra majestad, no por que no sabe las cosas de Indias mejor que yo, sino por que las vea juntas, con algunas particularidades tan apacibles como nuevas y verdaderas. Y aun por que vaya mas segura y autorizada so el amparo de vuestro imperial nombre; que la gracia y la perpetuidad la misma historia se la dara o quitara. Hagola de presente en castellano por que gocen de ella luego todos nuestros espanoles. Quedo haciendola en latin de mas espacio, y acabarela presto. Dios mediante, si vuestra majestad lo manda y favorece. Y alli dire muchas cosas que aqui se callan, pues el lenguaje lo sufre y lo requiere; que asi hago en las guerras de mar de nuestro tiempo, que compongo; donde vuestra majestad, a quien Dios nuestro Senor de mucha vida y victoria contra los enemigos, tiene gran parte."
