Sources stating that De Torres was a Jewish convert certainly predate 1894. Here's one from 1827. Colombus himself wrote that De Torres was a Jew in his diary: "Acordó el Almirante enbiar dos hombres españoles, el uno se llamava Rodrigo de Xerez que bivía en Ayamonte, y el otro era un Luys de Torres que avía bivido con el Adelantado de Murçia y avía sido judío y sabía dizque ebrayco y caldeo y aun algo arávigo." Please revert that idiotic edit. --87.70.60.17 (talk) 21:13, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
