Searching around, because I couldn't remember, indeed, he was the first to propose it was a new continent.
It's funny, because if the same stardards were applied to William Herschel, he would have to recognize any son of a gun who observed Uranus before him as the "discoverer" when the bastards didn't even know they were observing a planet! Ridiculous!
Why do people even consider Colombo for anything other than the merit of the first trip (and for a while now, it is known that's not even the case!) is beyond me.
The Italian for Amérigo Vespucio is Amérigo Vespucci.
