	Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés (August 1478-1557) was a Spanish historian.
		On the death of Prince Juan (October 4, 1497), Oviedo went to Italy, and there acted as secretary to Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba.
		Las Casas describes it as "containing almost as many lies as pages," and Oviedo undoubtedly puts the most favourable interpretation on the proceedings of his countrymen; but, apart from a patriotic bias which is too obvious to be misleading, his narrative is both trustworthy and interesting.

	DeRLAS Vol 3 No 2 Coello
		Thus, I argue, that Fernández de Oviedo's desire to reflect objectively on paper what he rejected morally, whether the amoral behavior of the Spaniards or the Indians, produced a great tension between rhetoric and logic, that is, between what the text intended to communicate and what it was nonetheless constrained to hide.
		The spiritual conversion that Fernández de Oviedo is believed to have experienced by 1546, according to José Rabasa, did not really alter his perception of the evil nature of the native population at all.
		Fernández de Oviedo’s Erasmianism, it has been established, was not so much a well-defined creed, as it was a great spiritual force behind the imperial vision of Charles V which was used to readjust the Spanish colonial project.

		Doubtless, Oviedo must have had powerful reasons for spelling the explorer’s family name Colom, which could only stem from a first-hand knowledge of the explorer and personal dealings both with him and with other members of the family.
		And we are told this by Oviedo and the official documents of the period, as we have seen above.

		The Latin name "Burhynchus" or "Ramphestes" (in reference to the size of the beak) was suggested by Conrad Gesner ("Icones Avium", 1560, p.130), and Linnaeus later adopted Aldrovandus' corrupted form of the latter ("Ramphastos"), which is how the family was still recognized at the time of the publication of the present image.
