P. 6, l. 32. “_The Sabbaticall River_,” or Sambation, a river mentioned in the Midrash as slowing during the first six days of every week and drying up on the Sabbath. (Neubauer, “Géographie du Talmud,” pp. 33–34, 299; Hamburger, “Real-Encyclopädie des Judenthums,” vol. ii. p. 1071; see also “Hope of Israel,” _infra_, p. 35.) P. 7, l. 15. “_I intend a continuation of Josephus._” No trace of this work has been found. From a passage in the _Vindiciæ_ there is reason to believe that it it was completed in MS. (see p. 115 and note thereon, _infra_, p. 167). THE RELATION OF ANTONY MONTEZINUS P. 11. An earlier translation of this affidavit was published by Thomas Thorowgood in “Jewes in America,” pp. 129, 130. (See Introduction to present work, p. xxv.) P. 11, l. 13. “_Port Honda_,” now Bahia Honda, an inlet at the northeastern extremity of Colombia, in 12° 20′ N. and 50° W. It was first visited by Ojeda in 1502, and named by him Puerto de Santa Cruz. There is a town named Honda in the interior, and a bay of the same name on the northern coast of Cuba, 60 miles west of Havana. P. 11, l. 15. “_Province of Quity_,” modern Quito, originally a presidency of the Spanish viceroyalty of Peru, afterwards a division of the Republic of Colombia, and in 1831 organised with the districts of Asuay and Guayaquil into a new republic, under the name of Ecuador. P. 11, l. 17. “_Cazicus_,” modern _Cacique_ or _Cazique_, used in Spanish to designate an Indian chief. The word is of Haytian origin. An early Spanish writer derives it from the Hebrew. (Kayserling, “Christopher Columbus,” p. 154.) P. 11, l. 29. “_Jonkets_,” junket, from Italian _giuncata_, a cream-cheese, so called because served on rushes (_giuncoa_—a rush): “And beare with you both wine and _juncates_ fit And bid him eat.” —SPENSER, _F. Q._, V. iv. 49. “With stories told of many a feat, How faery Mab the _junkets_ eat.” —MILTON, _L’Allegro_, 172. P. 12, l. 3. “_Carthagenia_”: modern Cartagena, a fortified maritime city of the United States of Colombia, on the Caribbean Sea. P. 12, l. 5. “_Blessed be the name of the Lord that hath not made me an Idolator, a Barbarian, a Black-a-Moore, or an Indian._” This is an extension of a blessing said in the Hebrew morning service. The original blessing, however, only speaks of “idolator.” There is another blessing said on seeing “negroes and redskins,” and this, curiously enough, is discussed in the same section of the Talmud as that in which the recital of the blessing in regard to heathens is enjoined (see Schwab, “Le Talmud,” vol. i. p. 158).
