"De Orbe Novo, Volume 1" by Pietro Martire d'Anghiera is a historical account written during the late 15th to early 16th century. The book is a chronicle of Peter Martyr's observations and experiences as a scholar and diplomat in the rapidly changing landscape of early Spanish exploration and conquest, particularly following Columbus's voyages to the New World. It likely details the significant events surrounding the interactions between Europe and the Americas and traces the life and career of Martyr himself, touching on his personal background, his role at the Spanish court, and his contributions to history. At the start of the narrative, the introduction sets the scene for Martyr's life, beginning with his birth in Italy and subsequent move to Spain, motivated by a desire for opportunity and to be part of the unfolding historical drama of his time. The text discusses Martyr's connections to notable figures in Italy and Spain, highlighting his educational background and the cultural shift he witnessed as humanism spread throughout Europe. The opening provides insights into the tensions and transformations that characterized the socio-political climate of his era, suggesting an intricate blend of personal ambition and scholarly pursuit against a backdrop of broader historical developments marked by the discovery and colonization of new lands.
