Este trabajo tiene como propósito reevaluar la génesis fundacional de la villa de Santiago de Cuba, en lógico vínculo con el surgimiento de otros pueblos y villas de Cuba entre los años 1514 y 1515. En tal sentido, se esclarece que el reconocimiento del área donde se funda la séptima villa cubana es muy anterior a lo hasta ahora concebido y que el acto de su fundación en sí no es un hecho consolidado en el verano del 1515, sino un punto de partida para su concreción. La metodología para alcanzar tales resultados fue la de propulsar una postura analítica de las tradicionales fuentes documentales que se tienen de ese primario proceso de conquista y colonización, es decir, las cartas de relación de Diego Velázquez, las reales cédulas del rey que contestan aquellas, más otros escritos de protagonistas de aquella primaria historia, en interconexión con la documentación emanada de la dialéctica investigativa posterior, incluido los últimos años, y un elemento novedoso: el que consideramos es el mapa de la carta de relación de Diego Velázquez de agosto de 1514, reivindicado a la historia por haberse signado hasta ahora a la época en que formó parte de la colección de un especialista y anticuario italiano en cuestiones navales. Bajo esa nueva perspectiva se obtienen consideraciones contrapuestas a criterios manejados en los últimos años sobre la fecha de fundación de otras villas de Cuba.
The purpose of this work is to reevaluate the foundational genesis of Santiago de Cuba village, in relation to the emergence of other villages in Cuba between the years 1514 and 1515. In this sense, it is clarified that the recognition of the area where the seventh Cuban villa was founded is much earlier than what has been conceived so far and that the act of its foundation itself is not a consolidated fact in the summer of 1515 but a starting point for its realization. The methodology to reach such results was to propel an analytical position of the traditional documentary sources that we have of that primary process of conquest and colonization, that is to say, the letters of the relation of Diego Velázquez, the real letters of the king that answer those, plus other writings of protagonists of that primary history, in interconnection with the documentation emanated from the later investigative dialectics, including the last years, and a novel element: the one we consider to be the map of the letter of relation of Diego Velázquez of August 1514, vindicated to the history for having been signed until now to the time in which it was part of the collection of an Italian specialist and antiquarian in naval matters. Under this new perspective, we obtain considerations opposed to the criteria used in the last years about the date of foundation of other Cuban towns.
