The Bull Eximiae Devotionis (Alexander VI.). May 3, 1493.

INTRODUCTION.

Although this bull bears the same date as the preceding,2 it would seem that its expediting was not begun until July. In somewhat more precise and emphatic terms it repeats that concession of the earlier bull, which extended to the Catholic kings in respect to the lands discovered by Columbus the privileges previously granted to the kings of Portugal in respect to their discoveries in "Africa, Guinea, and the Gold Mine".


BIBLIOGRAPHY.

The bull as printed by Solorzano Pereira, De Indiarium Jure, I. 612, is dated May 4 (quarto nonas Maii), and some historians have accepted this as the date of the promulgated bull. The text in the Vatican Register is dated May 3 (quinto nonas Maii), which the text here printed proves to be that of the promulgated bull. In regard to the expediting of the bull see Vander Linden, "Alexander VI. and the Demarcation of the Maritime and Colonial Domains of Spain and Portugal ", American Historical Review, XXII. 3-7.
