Now, indeed, as these regions are more widely explored, and another fourth part has been discovered by Americus Vesputius, as may be learned from the following letters, I do not see why any one may justly forbid it to be named Amerige—that is, Americ’s land, from Americus, the discoverer, a man of sagacious mind, or America, since both Europe and Asia derived their names from women.
