The work delves into the life and contributions of the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci, exploring his role in the discovery of the Americas and addressing various historical narratives surrounding this pivotal period. The author seeks to present a more detailed and possibly revisionist perspective on the events leading to the exploration of the New World. The opening of this work establishes the author’s intention to provide a thorough historical examination of Vespucci's significance in the Age of Exploration. Pérez Gomar outlines the early challenges he faced while gathering reliable information about Vespucci's contributions, especially comparing conflicting accounts of his voyages. The text recounts the motivations behind exploration during Vespucci’s time, touching on prior explorers like Marco Polo, and indicates the astronomical and geographical theories, particularly those of Paolo Toscanelli, that would later influence the voyages of Columbus and Vespucci. The author hints at a broader argument regarding the misconceptions and underappreciation of Vespucci's role in American history, setting up a narrative that seeks to reclaim and elevate his legacy.
