Major Find: Catalogue To (Huge) Library Of Christopher Columbus’s Son

WORDS Posted: April 11, 2019 6:48 am

“The Libro de los Epítomes manuscript … contains more than 2,000 pages and summaries from the library of Hernando Colón, … who made it his life’s work to create the biggest library the world had ever known in the early part of the 16th century.” Only about a quarter of the actual volumes have survived, so the catalogue provides invaluable information on what was being published at the time. – The Guardian
