Document Summary
Age of discovery : the doctrine of discovery: the 1400"s are recognized as the start of this age. At this time, the states of europe do not yet exist as we know them to be, but are consolidated: a treaty establishes some sort of peace in the iberian peninsula. Prince henry the navigator: assembles scholars and navigators in order to become a singular force in terms of long navigation. The aim of portugal is to go south towards. This is the penetration of the portuguese in. Therefore, he seeks a declaration from the pope that would legitimize his conquests and give him higher authority (papal donation). Romanex pontifex: eventually, a claim of worldwide jurisdiction is said to authorize this donation: the pope authorizes the good christian work of portuguese monarchs in colonies. The pope"s goal is to save souls and bring the infidel into the church (spread the faith). Fundamental to this donation is a missionary imperative.
