Talk:Padrón Real

[Untitled]

Information in this article is contradicted by information in Juan de Solis and major. I'd think the information in Juan de Solis is correct that he and not Juan Vespucci initially received the post (he died soon enough it almost didn't matter, but did discover the Rio de la Plata first;) and that the information in the major article is incorrect and that the piloto mayor was initially a rather more important post than chief navigator to a single fleet.

Obviously, though, I differ to those with knowledge of the time period or access to a decent library. - 116.232.52.185 (talk) 13:18, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Image?

There is a page on Wikipedia about Diego Ribero. Did this man contribute to this map? If so should he then be added to the artivel along with the image on the page about Ribero, if the image is of the same map? (ConsulHibernia (talk) 23:41, 1 December 2008 (UTC))

Update

In 2000 the "Planisfero Castiglioni" has been bought by the Biblioteca Estense of Modena. Lele giannoni (talk) 12:33, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

or possibly spinning out some of the surviving maps into their own pages: This is mostly focused on the 1529 Propaganda Map but covers more about the Padron and other surviving copies as well. — LlywelynII 11:29, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
