>Such as?
Are you serious? Maritime navigation.

>Portugal, given its small size and origin as a county was always quite centralized, and Spain developed its institution fairly early too
Um, no i dont buy that tbqh. Maybe relative to other European states at the time. Portugal was a small state who did advance earlier than others in the region but thats because they found trade with muslims and africans. This prosperity would be chased by Europeans into the new world, particularly by the Spanish. And as for them, Reconquista was a slow piecemeal process that actually presages some of the colonial processes. It doesnt finish until 1492 though. Frankly "Spanish" is an anachronism here anyway, these were not unified states until Ferdinand II.

>Im Just pointing that this dialogue os a clear reference to contemporary talking points rather than to medieval reality.
Its really, really not lol and if it was so anachronistic i think youd have shown it by now.

Can you show me otherwise? Or does this just give you the warm fuzzies?

>>3718277
No.

Leonardo? As in Da Vinci? I dont think he knew much of the new world. But Jesuit travel diaries depicting the "wicked liberty" of Americans were very inspirational back home. The critiques Americans had of Eurasian society plus the contrast they offered helped to spur absolutism and liberalism onward as people justified and questioned the authorities they served under. Kondiaronk has some of the sickest lines if you need a recommendation.

Really? Because you guys dont seem very big on curiosity, citations or challenging yourselves. No offense lol. This whole thing began because someone thought it was unreasonable for a wealthy west african noble to think the herbaceous cooking of Bohemia isnt seasoned correctly. I can tell when you dont start a tomato sauce with soffrito but this nobleman can't tell the difference between fresh cumin on goat vs dill on chicken?
