Abstract

Juan Bautista Muñoz, por encargo de Carlos III, publicó en 1793 la Historia del Nuevo Mundo, texto propagandístico en defensa del imperio español en América. Respondiendo a William Ro- bertson y al abate Raynal, el valenciano volvió al siglo XV para ofrecer una perspectiva ilustrada de Colón, imagen del buen gobernante, y de la empresa desempeñada por el genovés con el respaldo de los Reyes Católicos. Sin embargo, la visión muñoziana, así como la del resto de in- telectuales dieciochescos, no estaba exenta de un legado clásico que permanece entre nosotras en la actualidad. De esta forma, los parámetros de buen imperio y buen gobernante modernos beben directamente de las fuentes grecolatinas que tanto leían.
