It is known to have been a favourite book of study with the great navigator, and it is supposed by many that the ideas he found in it suggested to him the feasibility of the Western passage. Las Casas is of opinion that this author's writings had more effect in stimulating Columbus to his enterprise than those of any other writer. This work of d'Ailly was so familiar to Columbus that he filled his own copy with Latin notes in his own hand. "This book," says Las Casas, "I had many times in my hands, and I drew from it some things written in Latin by the said Admiral Christopher Columbus to verify certain points pertaining to his history."
