Relying on their scientists, Spanish monarchs made a mistake. Contract with Columbus was signed by them in 1492. Who could have known then that there was a huge continent in the Atlantic Ocean, between Europe and Asia. Ferdinand's ignorance played a cruel joke with him. The traveler outwitted him. It has already been established that Columbus, going on August 3, 1492, already had specific information about the presence of lands to the west of the Atlantic, not identical to Asia. In the foreign "columbist" of the XX century, the proponents of this concept were the American A. Vigno, the Argentinean Romulo Carbia, the Frenchman M. André, and recently, the Spaniard R. Vigno. Ballester Escalas.In my opinion, having mastered the geographical coordinate table "Zij Ilhani", Columbus has completely agreed with conclusions of the Maraginian scientists (the initial meridian accepted in the Maraginian observatory is on 34-35 degrees to the West from modern Greenwich meridian, that is crosses cape San Roca on east coast of South America) and has come to belief that the earth in the West Atlantic Ocean separates 4000-4500 km from Europe. This distance can be overcome in 30-35 days.
