This was his si
of Jerusalem f
ililel Turk witl
that he hoped
voyage.
In his wrltin
and bls plendli
ercigns there has been recorded ample
evidence of this great passion of an
adventurous and stormy life.
He
quoted the holy scriptures and prophe
cies therein to prove that he had been
selected to accomplish this and that
the holy sepulcher was to be returned
to the Christians through him as a
divine instrument.
Before sailing from Palos on his
first voyage to America he exacted
what he believed to be a promise from
the king uml queen thnt whatever
profits might accrue as a result of the
adventure should be employed for the
crusade. In his journal, under the
date of December 26, 1492, we read the
hope that his men find "tuns" of gold
and spices “iu such quantity that be
fore three years the sovei’ tgns will
undertake to prepare to go and con
quer tlm holy sepulcher,” “that all the
profits of tills, my undertaking, should
lie spent In the conquest of Jerusa
lem.”
This pious ambition is ascribed to an
incident which occurred while the
Spanish sovereigns were at war
against Granada. during the siege of
Baza, nt which Columbus was present.
While before the city two friars ar
rived with a message from the grand
soldnn of Egypt in which the Moslem
threatened to put to death all the
Christians In his dominions and de
stroy the holy sepulcher at Jerusalem
If the war against the Moslems of Gra
nada was not terminated.
The Indlgnntion of Columbus was so
Intense at this menace that he formed
resolutions that were never forgotten.
That be shonld aspire to ttie recovery
of the holy place was not unusual, for
every Christian prince and man of
power nourished this one great dream
of every pious person of the Middle
Ages.
On bls return from the first voyage
to America he made a vow. hoping to
use his portion of the possible treas
ure acquired from the trip, to furnish
wjthln seven years an army of 4,00»)
horse and 50,000 foot soldiers for a
crusade and a similar force within the
five following years. This was not
forgotten.
Before starting on his
fourth voyage he wrote to l’ope Alex
ander VII mentioning bls vow uml In
forming him of his sorrow at not being
nble to fulfill It, due to his arrest and
removal from pRwer.
When his outlook was brightest
many royal favoj-s were granted Co
lumbus. Some of the royal promts««
never matured. In a very Imposing in
strument known as the mnjorat, dated
February 22. 1496, he provided for his
family and disposed of the wealth that
he expected would surely flow Into his
coffers. He made provision that the
one supreme ambition of his whole
life be carried to its desired end.
In one of the articles of the docu- 1
inent appeared the words, "Because at
the time I started to go and discover
I the Indies It was with the intention of
supplicating the king and queen, our
sovereigns, that the revenue which
their highnesses might have In the In
dies they should determine to spend
In the conquest of Jerusalem.” Ills
will provided for n crusade directed
by his descendants.
During the period of his disfavor,
while Jealous enemies were Intriguing
against him. he recalled that his vow
remained unfulfilled. He considered
It Ids duty to arouse Ids sovereign» to

great object to which the profits of
ills discoveries should be directed. In
the library of the cathedral of Seville
there still exists the manuscript vol
ume that he prepared with the aid of
a friar, quoting all those passages of
the Bible and In the writings of the
Fathers which he conceived to contain
prophecies of the discovery of the new
world and the recovery of the holy
sepulcher, events which he attempted
to show would succeed one another
and be accomplished through him as
a divine agent.
