Description
This critical study examines various readings of Ramn Pans Relacin acerca de las antigedades de los indios (c. 1498), telling the story of the multiple layered readings of the 1974 version of the text put together by Jos Juan Arrom. The original, written by Fray Ramn Pan, a young brother from the Convent of Saint Jerome de la Murta in Badalona, Spain who sailed with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World, offers a glimpse into the earliest moments of Europes encounter with the New World. The centuries of reading to which this work has been subjected have shaped its interpretation and translation as individuals from different times, places, and cultures have tried to associate with those things described in the text while also reflecting on themselves, producing an autoethnography.
