[164] This confirmation was given by Pope Julius II in a bull promulgated January 24, 1506. See _Alguns documentos_, pp. 142-143; and Bourne's _Essays in Historical Criticism_, p. 203. [165] Another dispatch of like tenor was issued in Madrid on May 7 of the same year.--_Navarrete_. [166] The original of this bull is in Torre do Tombo, Lisbon, bearing pressmark "Col. de Bullas, maço 29, n_o_. 6." It occupies pp. 276-279 of _Corpo diplomatico Portuguez_. The synopsis from which the above is translated is in _Alguns documentos_, p. 14., but the date as there given is wrong, "Quarto Decimo Kalendae Julii," being June 18 and not 17. See also Bourne, _Essays in Historical Criticism_, pp. 194, 195. [167] See Bourne, _ut supra_, p. 195, from which this synopsis is taken. The original of this bull exists in Torre do Tombo, its pressmark being "Coll. de Bullas, maço 7°, n°. 29." It occupies pp. 279-286 of _Corpo diplomatico Portuguez_, and is printed also in _Alguns documentus_, pp. 14-20. [168] This military order was founded (August 14, 1318) by the Portuguese king Dionisio; its knights served against the Moors, also in Africa and India. Pope Calixtus III invested its grand prior with the spiritual powers conferred on a bishop. In 1522, João III became grand-master of the order; and in 1551 this dignity passed to the crown _in perpetuo_. In 1789, this order had four hundred and thirty-four commanderies, and twenty-six villages and estates. It is now only a civil and honorary order. [169] See Bourne _ut supra_, p. 195. The original is in Torre do Tombo, bearing pressmark "Coll. de Bullas, maco 29, n°. 6. Inserta." This bull occupies pp. 286-296 of _Corpo diplomatico Portuguez_. It is printed also in _Alguns documentos_, pp. 47-55. [170] See _Corpo diplomatico Portuguez_, p. 296. [171] Cape Noon (Naon, Non, Nun) is situated near the south-west extremity of the coast of Morocco; Cape Bojador (Bogiador) projects into the Atlantic at a point two degrees thirty-eight minutes farther south than Noon.

[173] One of the great military orders of Spain, named for its patron St. James, and founded to protect his shrine at Compostella from incursions by the Moors. It received papal sanction in 1175; in 1476 Ferdinand of Castile became its grand master; thus uniting the order to the crown of Spain. [174] The letter here mentioned (see Navarrete's _Col. de viages, _ iv, p. 312) expresses Cárlos's regret that his negotiations with the Portuguese ambassadors regarding the ownership of the Malucos have been fruitless, and his desire that the difficulties should be amicably adjusted; he refers João to Zúñiga for full details. [175] Navarrete omits this section. It will be found in the Treaty of Tordesillas. [176] The Spanish monarch was at this time engaged in his quarrels with François I of France.
