ere're some of the items for which I need to hie me to the library:The Inquisition - hierarchy, major dates, etc.
The Ottoman Empire and its welcome of Jews during the Inquisition
Travel in 1492 - overland? ships on the Meditteranean? passports, papers, etc. between countries?
Foods readily available when travelling on foot across Spain - loquats? oranges? berries? fish?
Flora and fauna in Spain in 1492
Columbus' journey - ports and dates
Judaism in 1492
(other) Major events in 1492 - art, books, etc.
Cistercians vs Benedictines (I've got a monk, and don't know what order he belongs to yet)
Daily schedule in a monastery
Holy days in Judaism and Catholicism throughout the year
If I have the energy, I might even look up moon phases. I was pleasantly surprised to see that, after I had written it as taking place on a Tuesday, I found out that Columbus really did sail on a Tuesday!
