About This Item
Slight rubbing to top corners of the boards. Very neat paper repairs to the bottom corners of pages ix – xxiv, not touching text. Very small blemish (remains of paper label?) to front end-paper. Spanish text clean and unmarked.
Includes "the most authoritative edition of the will" of Hernando Colon/Ferdinand Columbus, son of Christopher Columbus (Edward Wilson-Lee, The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books, London, 2019, page 343). This volume was produced to coincide with the quadricentennial anniversary of the death of Hernando Colon (the volume contains 105 documents reproduced in text format and 4 in photographic facsimiles covering 66 pages.
A note to the reader explains that previous publications have contained textual errors arising from mistakes in copies obtained from the original documents held by the Biblioteca Colombina. The intention in producing this publication was to "remedy these shortcomings, some of which are of paramount importance." A number of documents are published in facsimile for the first time – el testament de Hernando, el codicilo, el inventario de las escrituras de Hernando, las declaraciones de albacea Marcos Felipe [i.e. the executor of Hernando's estate].
With 32 pages of introduction and context to the documents, a 10-page index list of persons mentioned in the individual documents, and a 3-page index of place-names mentioned in the documents, this volume is an important and scarce resource for historians and researchers.
This is a heavy and high value volume and, as a consequence, the shipping cost (using a tracked and signed for service) will be higher than the average quoted in my store listings. Please contact me if you wish further details.
