For bibliographical details of this bull, see VOL. 1, pp. 340, 341. We translate from the Spanish version given by Navarrete, Coleccion de viages (1825), ii, pp. 404-406; (1859), ii, pp. 449-451. This bull has been known only through the Spanish translation, made by Gracian de Aldrete, secretary of Felipe II of Spain, and Harrisse's search in the archives at Simancas, Sevilla, and Rome failed to discover any other copy. However, Llorens Asensio (ut supra, p. 91) says that there are two copies of the bull in A. de I., to which he gives the following title: "'Nudum Siquidem omnes et singulas Insulam' aclarando y ampliando lo concedido A los Reyes Cat6licos por la de 4 de Mayo del mismo afio, de lo que se descubra en Indias." Both of the copies seem to be written on parchment, and are accompanied by the leaden seal. Llorens Asensio adds also that Navarrete assigned the date Sept.15 in place of Sept.16 to this bull.
