Columbus: another ‘American’ of Corsican origin is Christopher Columbus. He was born in Calvi. Many other places have laid claim to him, but his birthplace was definitely in the citadel of Calvi.

It was obscured by the (then occupying) Genoese when they repatriated all the local records from their strongholds in Corsica. You can still the ruins of his house, laid waste by Lord Horatio Nelson in the Siege of Calvi in 1794. From early infancy (1947 onward) , I was taught the stories and songs of Christoforu Columbu’s Calvi origins, and of the stone house there where he was raised.
There is a book by ex-secret serviceman René Massoni’s published the 13 JANUARY 1958, entitled: “Christophe Colomb: Calvais, Corse, Génois”.

Reflections on the Coincidences of Christopher Columbus’s ‘Libro de Las Profecias’ and the American Dream” by Delno C. West and August Kling in “Encounters” (Double Issue No. 5-6, pp. 22-24) For the past seven years, we have studied the intellectual and religious nature of Christopher Columbus, using as the centerpiece of that research the Admiral’s eighty-four page collection of prophecies, the “Libro de las profecias.” Often when one spends years translating a document and studying its meaning, one cannot help but ponder the meaning of the experience.
This essay is meant simply to be our reflection upon a recently completed study. The man who signed his letters “Christ-Bearer-Admiral- Viceroy,” using a flourish of both Greek and Latin letters and a mysterious acronym whose undisclosed meaning he took with him to the grave, was not content to be the Discoverer of the New World. In his own handwriting, he enclosed a cover letter to the “Libro de las profecias,” written from Granada on September 13, 1501, in which he indicated his plan to “rrever y las poner en rrima en su lugar” (study and put into verse in an orderly sequence) a series of extracts from the Bible, an interpreted version of prophecies concerning Jerusalem. “Libro de las profecias” is a title given his notebook by later cataloguers. The incipit reads as follows:
“Here begins the book, or handbook, of authorities, statements, opinions and prophecies on the subject of the recovery of the Holy City and Zion the Mountain of God, and the discovery and evangelization of the islands of the Indies and of all peoples and nations.” The enclosed letter, addressed to the king and queen, extended the subject matter, or focused it, as a “rationale I have for the restoration (or renewal) of the House of God to the Holy Church.”
The first four pages of the “Libro de las profecias” explain very carefully that the prophecies are not to be construed only literally, but also figuratively which broadened the Admiral’s horizons to include moral principles and visions of sublimest truth. Using the hermeneutical methods of Thomas Aquinas, John Gerson, St. Augustine, St. Isidore of Seville, and Nicholas of Lyra, Columbus established an undeniable legitimacy for his project. Reading the nearly three thousand postilles (marginal notes) which Columbus left in the pages of the surviving books he owned, it is easy to see that he was a student of the Bible and that he had the major themes of the “Libro de las profecias” in mind as early as 1481.
Eight different hands compiled the “Libro de las profecias,” but the main texts were copied by Father Gaspar Gorricio and Ferdinand Colon (who was then a teenager). The manuscript was written under the Admiral’s direction, and he added marginal notes to it. Concurrently, he was compiling his “Book of Privileges,” using the same method of employing scribes to do the work. From the correspondence between Christopher Columbus and Father Gorricio, there can be no doubt that Columbus was in control of the project. The history of the “Libro de las profecias” is that of a document which lay almost unstudied and untranslated for five hundred years.
The Admiral died without completing it, but within the surviving pages one can see the Discoverer’s vision and meaning of the New World. Not the geographic meaning, but the meaning for history and for the human race–the meaning of the New World in the divine plan for the ages. It is within this document that one finds the seed for the Columbian symbolism later exploited by the United States. As mentioned above, the themes of the manuscript existed long before they were compiled. It is not coincidental that, three centuries after the first voyage of Columbus, the Discoverer should be heralded as “a new Moses” who “through trackless seas, an unknown flight explores, and hails a new Canaan’s promised shores.”
It is not a coincidence, but it is a fascinating story that links the Discoverer to the bard of American Independence, the president of Yale College who was sometimes called the “Pope of New England,” Timothy Dwight. Timothy Dwight never read the “Libro de las profecias,” but the themes in that document permeated the Admiral’s life and writings causing early American settlers to perceive him as a symbol of the American dream. Dwight was the first to write an American national epic, “Conquest of Canaan.”
That work, written in 1785 and dedicated to George Washington, refers to Columbus as the “new Moses” journeying to a “new Canaan,” and that same work contains the first complete expression of the political, social, economic, and technological doctrines known secularly as “manifest destiny,” and theologically as “American post- millennialism.” Dwight chose, as Columbus intended, to form a poetic vision of versified Biblical prophecies. In one grand prophetic preview, Dwight projected into the future the fall of Jerusalem, the missionary expansion of the Church, the Discovery of America, and the settlement of the new land “for the enjoyment of religion,” the “freedom and glory of the north American states,” the blessings of freedom to “every land o’erflow,” the scientific, economic and technological progress of the New World, the achievement of world peace with freedom and human dignity, the evangelization of the world, the beginning of the millennium, and finally, the end of the world.
This versification, in a heroic epic of the prophecies concerning the mountain, the city, the house, and the good news of God was exactly what Christopher Columbus had said he wanted to do. It might have remained a coincidence that Timothy Dwight versified the vision of Christopher Columbus, but there is the further fascinating story of Dwight’s student at Yale, Joel Barlow. Barlow wrote hundreds of pages of blank verse creating the second and third epic poems in American history titled, “The Vision of Columbus,” and “The Columbiad.”
This was no coincidence because “Columbian,” “Columbia,” and “Columbiad” had for several decades been code words for the so-called “Sons of Freedom,” a Yale College student organization dedicated to the War for Independence. It may have been the eagerness of the “Columbians” at Yale to get at the vision of Columbus that motivated the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States in Madrid in the winter of 1825-26 to invite Washington Irving to come quickly to translate “a work then in the press, edited by Don Martin Fernandez de Navarette … containing a collection of documents relative to the voyages of Columbus, among which were many of a highly important nature, recently discovered.”
Why did the U.S. Ambassador consider this translation to be “peculiarly desirable,” and to offer such generous subsidies to the translator (who ended up by producing a highly readable, popular classic rather than translations of documents)? This commission to Irving was the beginning of Hispanic studies in the Unites States. Coincidental linkages existed in the early republic between Columbus, Dwight, Barlow, and Irving, not to mention Dwight’s grandfather, the president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton), who constantly wrote about the millennial aspects of the New World, or George Washington to whom many of these works were dedicated and who read them. (Indeed, Irving’s two great biographies of Columbus and Washington present a Romulus and Remus for American beginnings.)
It is not a coincidence, nor an indication of any necessary linkage, that both Columbus and his distant admirers conceived the idea of versifying the prophetic theology in the form of universal history by means of an epic poem. Each knew, and understood its implications, the fact that the material he wished to communicate was in essence only motivational, pure vision, and on the broadest possible scale.
In every age and climate, such material has been expressed in the form of national epics—Homer, Virgil, Dante, Camoes, Milton, or epics of Norsemen, the sacred verse of aboriginal Pacific Islanders, and primitive peoples everywhere. All these epic writers were utterly serious in their intent to produce motivational literature on the grandest scale, and they chose the same ideal format. It is not especially important that Columbus never actually versified the prophecies, and that the epics of Dwight and Barlow have been all but forgotten. The themes they addressed have become the powerful anthems of the American people.
It is vision that summons men and nations into being and gives them identity and purpose. Even when people cease to believe the vision, they continue to live it out: thinking, working, fighting, and dreaming in ways they have ceased to understand. Columbus, the “Christ-bearer,” was the first American millennialist, or more poetically, the first “Columbian.” All coincidences, yet no coincidences. Here we are dealing with visions, wisps of misty, swirling nebula. Virtually not substance, yet more powerful than ships and armaments, more influential than parliaments and thrones. Not mere sight, but vision. Not mere history, but prophetic vision. We are very late making available to the American public the documentary centerpiece of the great Discoverer (Columbus believed the “Libro de las profecias” to be the summary of his life and activities). We wish we could have made it in time for the “Columbians” at Yale for the Tricentennial. They would have enjoyed it immensely.
Such abundant attention to the subject has left us a significant corpus of literature about Christopher Columbus and his accomplishments. But even so, one major source about him and his enterprise, written by the Admiral himself, has remained generally unstudied. In the summer and fall of 1501 he drafted a manuscript titled, “Libro de las profecias.” Scholars have known of it but have not used it, and it was not put into modern print until 1892 when Cesare de Lollis included it in the “Raccolta Columbiana.”(3) Even with a printed critical edition, scholars continued to ignore it for another sixty years. The problem scholars have had with the “Libro de las profecias” has been one of misunderstanding and credibility. Historiographically, when Columbus scholars have been confronted with the “Libro de las profecias,” they have looked the other way.
Our model of Columbus as Renaissance scientist, adventurer and mariner does not include an obsession with eschatology. Nevertheless,he believed that God had called him for a special mission of apocalyptic importance. As he carefully reminded his sovereigns in a letter dated 7 July 1503, he had received a vision while yet a young man in which the Holy Spirit spoke directly to him in these words: God … will cause your name to be wonderfully proclaimed throughout the world … and give you the keys of the gates to the ocean which are closed with strong chains.
(4) The driving motivational force in his life was ultimately his role in God’s scheme for history: Who doubts that this light was from the Holy Spirit … whom with rays of marvelous clarity it consoled … with forty-four books of the Old Testament and four Evangelists, with twenty-three epistles of those blessed apostles, encouraging me to proceed, and continuously, without stopping a moment, they encouraged me with great haste.
(5) Columbus’ spiritual desire was to spread the Gospel and initiate a new crusade to recapture the Holy site of Solomon’s Temple. It is impossible to calculate when this mission became incorporated into a broader eschatological framework, but he implies that such thinking occurred early in his career and that these dreams were a part of his arguments before the king and queen.
(6) Compiling the “Libro de las profecias” must have been on his mind for several years as elements of it appear in isolated passages in his early letters, the diary and reports. The adoption of Xpo Ferens for his signature in 1502 confirms a specially perceived relationship and calling from God.
(7) Written between the third and fourth voyages, the timing of the “Libro de las profecias” was unfortunate due to the stress caused by losing favor at court. Later, scholars would come to the conclusion that this apocalyptic treatise was the product of a discouraged and troubled mind. To Columbus, however, it was the framework in which he wished the world to view his accomplishments. The central theme of the book is that an important stage of prophecy had been fulfilled, in time, by his discoveries. The eschatological clock was ticking away and the next steps, he tells his monarchs, must begin.
First, the Gospel message must be spread on a global scale beginning with lands he has discovered and brought under the Spanish flag. Second, the riches of the New World should be dedicated to the recapture of Jerusalem thereby securing the most important site in Christendom so that other events of the last days could begin. The Document The “Libro de las profecias” presents an array of prophetic texts, commentaries by ancient and medieval authors, fragments of Spanish poetry and Columbus’ own interpretations of these writings to prove his theses.
Columbus finished the basic draft in the fall of 1501 and gave it to his friend the Carthusian monk, Gaspar Gorricio, to read and add more references where appropriate. On 23 March 1502, as Columbus left Seville to start his fourth voyage, Father Gorricio additions were minor as he indicated in his letter accompanying the manuscript.
(8) This is the form in which we still have the treatise, a rough draft with notations and additions to be incorporated. The “Libro de las profecias” was first found when the library of Don Diego was inventoried. Ferdinand catalogued it with other books owned by his father and used it in writing his biography. Bartolome de las Casas mentions it, and it was catalogued by De la Rosa y Copes in his “Biblioteca Colombina.”
(9) With the exception of some tutoring from his brother, Columbus was self-taught. Despite the hours he spent pouring over the theories of experts, the years at sea accumulating practical experience, and the long discussions with scholars, churchmen and old sailors in many ports, he believed the key to his success was the gift of knowledge given to him by the Holy Spirit. The gift of understanding, spiritualis intellectus, enables the recipient to penetrate revealed truth, and it intensifies one’s faith so that all things ultimately are seen through faith.
(10) Columbus never claimed to be a prophet and only recorded two visions in which he believed God communicated directly with him. Neither of these visions were revelations; rather they were words of comfort and encouragement. He believed that he had received the charismatic gift of spiritualis intellectus which enlightened his mind to enable him to understand the hidden mysteries of prophetic texts, to gain practical and intuitive abilities in navigation, and to comprehend cosmography and related sciences intellectually.As he put it, I have met and I have had discussions with wise people, ecclesiastics and laymen, Latins and Greeks, Jews and Moors and with many others of other sects. To this I found our Lord very favorable to my desire and I received from Him the spirit of intelligence: in seamanship he made me abundant, of astrology he gave what was needed, and so of geometry and arithmetic and ingeniousness in the soul and hands to draw the sphere…
(11) Virgil Milani has argued that and that he could have meant “entelequia,” a term utilized by St. Augustine when referring to intelligence of or from God.
(12) The draft structure of the “Libro de las profecias” is composed of 84 folios (10 pages are missing) Columbus gives credit to Joachim of Fiore, the Sybils, Merlin and the peudo-Methodius, Columbus limited his citations, with very few interpreted an event without supporting authority was when he proclaimed that his discoveries fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy about a new heaven and a new earth. Columbus’ exegetical method was orthodox and his conclusions conservative. He did not criticize the Church, state or society nor did he even hint at any kind of renovato; instead they strengthen the established order by advocating the strongest possible This explains his purpose for writing the book and lists some of the authorities upon whom and reminds his readers that Isaiah was the preferred prophet of St. Jerome and St. Augustine because the Church Fathers believed him to be the clearest herald of the Gospel preached to all people.
(13) Part I (ff. 6v-30v) begins with several quotations from Psalms announcing the “peoples of the world” and the capture of Jerusalem, St. Isadore’s summary of types of prophecy and how to interpret them, and the prophecies announcing the triumph of Christianity when all men will join the faith and history will culminate in the heavenly Jerusalem. Part II (ff. 30v-53v) explores prophecies fulfilled in the past and includes the famous prophecy of Abdias foretelling lands in the southern hemisphere. Part III (ff. 54v-67r) is devoted to the present and immediate future and relates Columbus’ discoveries to selected scripture. The key scripture upon which he builds his case is John 10:
“I am the Good Shepherd and I know my sheep … and I have other sheep which are not of this flock and I must bring them in, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock and one shepherd.
“(14) This is then supported by quotations from Christian authors, especially St. Augustine, and includes the famous passage from Seneca’s Medea. The final part (ff. 67r-84v) is devoted to the more distant future and contains many Biblical quotations about mythical islands and their treasures which Columbus argued should be donated to the greater cause of worldwide missionary activity and the recapture of Jerusalem. Attached to the end are lists of Biblical quotations to be incorporated into the text at a later date. Columbus Scholars and the “Libro de las profecias” The evidence of Columbus’ strong spirituality has never been seriously questioned although that spirituality needs more detailed definition. He was closely tied to Franciscan Observantine reformers who had deep roots in Spiritual Franciscanism.
(15) His reputation has been that of a man whose deep religious faith showed a special devotion to the Virgin and the Trinity. For the past two hundred years, however, scholars have been reluctant to incorporate his eschatological beliefs or his religious treatise on prophecy into his other writings. Contemporaries noticed immediately the eschatological significance Columbus attached to his discoveries. Agostino Giustiniani, Bishop of Nebbio, in annotating his“Polyglot Psalter” left us what is probably the first biography of the Admiral. In the margin next to Psalms 19:4, “their message reaches out to all the world,” the bishop gives us a brief summary of Columbus’ life and notes that the Admiral frequently claimed to have fulfilled this prophecy.
(16) Bartolome de las Casas recognized the providential role of Columbus in these words:
But since it is obvious that at that time God gave this man the keys to the awesome seas, he and no other unlocked the darkness, to him and to no other is owed forever and ever all that exists beyond those doors…
(17) Early biographers down through Washington Irving generally accepted Columbus’ apocalyptic faith and the “Libro de las profecias” as normal fare for fifteenth century Christians. Irving eloquently summarized:
It … filled his mind with solemn and visionary meditations on mystic passages of the Scriptures, and the shadowy portents of the prophecies. It exalted his office in his eyes and made him conceive himself an agent sent forth upon a sublime and awful mission, subject to impulses and supernatural intimations from the Deity…
(18) Scholars in the middle and later nineteenth century and throughout much of the twentieth century have been curiously reluctant to admit that the first American hero was influenced by prophetic ideas. Ironically it is doubtful that many of these influential scholars bothered to read the treatise, but their persuasive rhetorical power convinced subsequent historians that the “Libro de las profecias” was simply the ravings of a troubled and senile mind. At best the document was an embarrassment to be avoided and it thus fell from favor as an historical source.
In his signal work, “Ferdinand and Isabella,” W. H. Prescott describes Columbus’ “Libro de las profecias” as “dark and mysterious annunciations of sacred prophecy” and “visionary fancies.” Henri Harrisse called the treatise a “deplorable lucubration which we sincerely hope will never de published…” and Alexander von Humboldt, who accepted Columbus’ apocalypticism up to a point, concluded finally that the treatise was the product of “melancholy and morbid enthusiasm.”
By 1891, Justin Winsor described the hero of the quatracentennial as having “mental hallucinations” in his later years. At the turn of the century, Filson Young grieved deeply at the state of the Admiral’s mental health and lamented aboutthe “Libro de las profecias,” Good Heavens! In what an entirely dark and sordid stupor is our Christopher now sunk–a veritable slough and quag of stupor out of which, if he does not manage to flounder himself, no human hand can pull him.
(19) In the early and mid-twentieth century, scholars have adopted Freudian explanations, tied the work to other social or political forces at work in the fifteenth century, or ignored the “Libro de las profecias” entirely. Bernardini-Sjcestedt placed the book in the genre of romantic crusade literature while both Jaques Heers and Felipe Ximenez de Sandoval believed it to be an attempt by Columbus to restore luster to his voyages by arousing Christian enthusiasm through the device of eschatological forecasting.
(20) Cecil Jane called Columbus a mystic and describes that mysticism as “an exaggeration of that of most of his contemporaries.” Samuel Eliot Morison recognized Columbus’ Christian faith as “genuine and sincere” and goes on to credit him “that his frequent communion with forces unseen was a vital element in his achievement.” But the “Libro de las profecias,” Morison concluded, was simply a ploy to appeal to the Queen’s mysticism “and convince her that he was the chosen man of destiny to conquer an Other World and bring home treasure wherewith to recover the Holy Sepulchre.” Morison only mentions the “Libro de las profecias” once, did not bother to consult it, and proceeded to ignore it for the rest of his studies. A few years later Ballesteros y Beretta stated that the prophecies “bordered … on the ridiculous.”
(21) One late nineteenth century study, specifically focused on Columbus’ religious nature, is ambivalent about the depth of his conviction. William and Charles Gillett, in their paper before the American Society of Church History in 1892 titled, “The Religious Motives of Christopher Columbus,” chose the tone of nineteenth centuryProtestant rhetoric to portray the discoverer’s piety. Phrases such as “… Columbus and the sovereigns, having succumbed to dastardly motives of sordid gain … lost their pristine missionary zeal,” or “in this, as almost everywhere, the first cry is ‘gold,’ and the second is ‘Christianize’–but with a suspiciously intimate connection with more gold.” And, in summary, “but in these extracts [from the sources] we fail to find anything which necessitates or justifies the suppositions of those who imagine that we must incorporate religious motives with those of material advantage…”
(22) Not only did the Gilletts miss the point, they failed to include the “Libro de las profecias” in their survey of sources! On the other hand, Francis Steck in his speculative essay, “Christopher Columbus and the Franciscans,” goes in the opposite direction and almost canonizes the Admiral when he states: Christopher Columbus and the Franciscans … Christ- bearers they were … by unbroken and brave loyalty to Christian ideals and principles … traversing boldly the uncharted Sea of Darkness and carrying the Crib of Bethlehem, the Sermon on the Mount, and the Cross of Calvary to a degraded and down-trodden race … in the love of their Savior, and in the healing power of their Sanctifier…
(23) It has been only in the past thirty years that scholars have sought to find a definition for Columbus’ apocalypticism. Marcel Bataillon examined Columbus’ interpretations from the “Libro de las profecias” within the context of general millennialism of the times, and his efforts were followed by an excellent chapter in John Phelan’s book devoted to apocalypticism in the Age of Discovery. Professor Phelan was not surprised at Columbus’ eschatological conclusions about spreading the Gospel to the lands he had discovered Little wonder that he was obsessed by the image of himself as the instrument of Divine Providence. Little wonder that he was convinced that the mission of fulfilling the other apocalyptical prophecy had also been reserved for him [the capture of Jerusalem].
(24) Phelan stressed that Columbus must be taken seriously in his prophetic statements, Columbus’ unique historical perspective must not be forgotten. He was looking back through fifteen hundred years of Christianity. It seemed to him that his discoveries represented the grandiose climax of Christian history. His opening of the ‘door of the Western Sea’ promised the speedy fulfillment … of the words of Mark 16:15…
(25) James Cummins analyzed Columbus’ scheme to liberate Jerusalem in a festschrift contribution published in 1976. Cummins advocated the provocative idea that the Admiral set about to fulfill the medieval ideal of freeing the Holy Sepulchre and saw himself as the new David. Just as David had provided the wealth for Solomon to build the original temple on Mt. Zion, Columbus would provide the gold for the Spanish monarchs to recapture the sacred site and usher in the apocalypse: “In his mind, the whole ’empresa de Indias’ was only a memo to that predestined end: the New World was to redeem the Old City.”
(26) The scholarly work by Phelan and Cummins legitimized Columbus’ eschatological ideas, but they have been received by a mixed audience. Mario Gongora, for example, incorporated Phelan’s conclusions into his history of colonial Spanish America as did Luis Weckmann in his study of medieval influences upon Mexico.
(27) Paolo Taviani in his important and comprehensive recent biography about Columbus utilizes the “Libro de las profecias” as an important source and calls the Admiral a man with a “sincere profession of religious faith” who could not remain indifferent to divine mystery and believed that his Christian faith gave meaning to his life, The reconquest of the Holy Sepulchre was a mission in which he felt privileged to participate… It was thus a vital element in his personal philosophy of existence. It gave him purpose, and for that purpose he worked, for that purpose he lived.
(28) Other biographers, however, have not followed suit. As recently as 1985, Gianni Granzotto declared that the “Libro de las profecias” indicates that Columbus, …drifted … away from reality … because of his advancing age, his infirmity, and his continual disappointments … turned [to] made ravings … mild delirium … came to believe that he had been chosen by God for his exploits … attributed his successes to the divine mission for which he had been destined … projected … delusions into the future … [by] compiling a Book of Prophecy.
(29) The first in-depth study to focus on Columbus’ eschatological ideas was published by Alain Milhou in 1983. This was followed in 1985 by Pauline Moffett Watts’ article on Columbus’ sources for the “Libro de las profecias.” Milhou attempted to give exhaustive explanations of Columbus’ messianic mentality and its relationship to his apocalyptic ideas. The author has investigated almost every aspect of Columbus’ eschatological statements even to the point that Milhou sees the Admiral’s preoccupation with gold as symbolic Christian iconography. Many of Milhou’s conclusions are sound and his book now provides a foundation from which scholars may comfortably investigate the Admiral’s religious motives.
(30) Pauline Watts has improved our understanding of the “Libro de las profecias” by showing that Columbus’ “Enterprise of the Indies” was part of a larger scheme to restore the Holy Lands to Christendom and that “his apocalypticism must be recognized as inseparable from his geography and cosmology…” She has clearly pointed out the extensive use the Admiral made of a wide range of ancient and medieval authors in composing the treatise. Watts’ most important contribution is her thorough analysis of Columbus’ use of Pierre d’Ailly’s opuscula, the “Imago Mundi,” and Pope Pius II’s “Historia rerum ubique gestarum” in developing his apocalyptic theories.
(31) Conclusion We have just begun to incorporate the “Libro de las profecias” into our understanding of Columbus, fifteenth and sixteenth century apocalypticism, and the treatise’s place in the history of ideas. Critical translations at least into Spanish, Italian and English need to be made so that the source is available to a wider audience. Columbus’ knowledge and use of the Bible, the Church Fathers, and important medieval theologians, should be analyzed.
The “Libro de las profecias” demonstrates that the Admiral was much better read and familiar with a wider range of literature than is usually assumed. Astrology also was important to Columbus, and he refers to it throughout his diary and letters. The most complete account of his knowledge on this subject is to be found in his eschatological treatise. Last, the “Libro de las profecias” should be compared with and placed into the larger body of apocalyptic literature from the late middle ages in Europe, especially its relation to Spanish and Spanish American eschatology.
The “Libro de las profecias” is an important treatise which gives us insight into the mind of Christopher Columbus. It is not the ravings of a psychotic or reflective of an old man’s senility. It is a standard and rather ordinary apocalyptic text which displays some urgency for action but no hint for revolution. there is nothing radical in the treatise, and in face, the Admiral limits himself to exploring the meaning of his discoveries without predicting any forthcoming cataclysmic events. Columbus had an unshakable sense of calling which for him translated into prophetic destiny. Prophecy was the bridge between cosmological theory and fifteenth century science and God’s plan for the world.
The secret of the Sea of Darkness to the Admiral had not been penetrated because God wanted it hidden until He was ready. Columbus firmly believed that God had selected him to uncover its mystery and to reveal new lands to gain for Christ. Christoferrens, the Christ Bearer, believed that God had given him a special spiritual intelligence to understand the mysteries of prophetic Scripture relating to unknown regions of the earth and then he set out to accumulate the intellectual abilities necessary to achieve his mission. Thus, faith and reason became wedded in his mind and created an unshakable resolve to reach his goal.

In the later Middle Ages, spiritualis intellectus was claimed by many individuals and groups. The importance of spiritualis intellectus to the Spiritual Franciscans, for example, who greatly affected Columbus’ ideas through their influence upon the Observantine reform movement, was primary as it validated their claims to be new spiritual men predicted by Joachim of Fiore.

Ramon Iglesias, however, seems to have misread the “Libro de las profecias” when he interpreted it only in light of Columbus’ building a new argument to convince the court to restore his titles and privileges. Iglesias ignores the consistency of eschatological remarks made by Columbus in his earlier writings. See R. Iglesias, “The Man Columbus,” in “Columbus, Cortes, and Other Essays” ed. L.

Calvi
No key to the origins of Christopher Columbus!

What do we learn? The discoverer of America has its roots in the Cap Corse and not Balagne! And the city of Columbus, then? In reading Corse-MatinLast Friday, the strain Calvi, adoption or vacationers have discovered the position of Albert Mattei.
“Keep it for us”
A little earlier, the manager of the tearoom A Scola remains philosophical, and especially measured ” Here, we want to keep it for us. After that he is actually born in Calvi, is another debate. ”
Questioned on the subject, the mayor, Angelo Santini, prefers to start from a burst of laughter. Before outlining his thoughts: “Even if everyone can legitimately speak on the subject, I believe that if Christopher Columbus is born in Corsica, so it Calvi. In any case, the thesis is defended for centuries “, Launches the aedile.
The debate will probably eternal, as historical documents are missing. No birth certificate (they were written some fifty years after the death of the browser). Even less conclusive evidence, despite the work of several local historians. And probably no researcher can establish with certainty the place of birth of the great man. But this debate has at least the merit to speak of Calvi. ” And then it all aside, there are so many other beautiful things to see in your “Says a tourist fifties. On this point, at least, the agreement was unanimous.
Bastia
Christopher Columbus would be the Cape as a historian Cagnano
If the birthplace of the man who first trod the soil of America remains a subject of controversy between Genoa and Calvi, the historian Cagnano Albert Mattei, illuminates in a new light on the origins of Christopher Columbus.
Life, especially the roots of the browser, have inspired many authors among the most prominent. With humility, Albert Mattei brings his stone to the building in this book very well written as it highlights a litany of clues. Indices which result in duplication of complementarity and theses Calvaise Genoese building bridges among elements indicating the presence of members of the family of Columbus on the east coast of Cape Corsica.
A favorable context Gazetteer
Extending the furrows dug by Armand Bernardini and Lucien-Sjoestedt Saladini Albert Mattei, like a true detective of history, has collected documents supporting the theory of roots of the family of Christopher Columbus, not in Balagne, but nice Good Cap Corse and more specifically Cagnano.
Starting with an environment conducive Gazetteer.
“Here we are, says he in the presence of a community of Terra Rossa, Cagnano village, with its immediate surroundings names of Fontana and San Cristofino Colombaja. There would be nothing more natural that in such a conjunction, a family appearFontanarossa, the maiden name of mother of Columbus, a Colombo family or Cristoforo Colombo Terra Rossa become in Spainish Cristobal Colon de Terra Rubra . “
This hypothesis does not undermine its relationship with the Balagne insofar “If indeed the Columbus family is originally from Cape Town, it has always passed by Calvi, Corsica mandatory transition to the race to India, and has strengthened ties. “
Albert Mattei, who was also very interested in the genealogy of the explorer, notes the existence of one Cape “Recurrence undeniable major names” little used in the island and “Identical to those of the immediate family of Columbus. “
It highlights the links between Christopher Columbus, based in particular on the browser and an e-course Corsine Fieschi family, whose members, Bartolomeo, was captain of the Vizcaina , One of the caravels of the fourth voyage to the Americas. The common denominator between Columbus and the Fieschi is the De Mari, feudal lords Cape Corsini San Colombano.

WARNING !!! The World Jewish Mafia is preparing to occupy the second country and kill hundreds of thousands of Libyans !!! Jewish arrogance will never cease to harass the world, especially Muslims! I am convinced that soon we will want in Egypt to return hundreds of thousands of Jews, because … …
3-4 thousand years before the Egyptian Pharaoh cast them out (now in Egypt Zionist puppet military junta – is seeking civilian puppets!) In Libya, thousands of mysterious Jews want to return and obtain redress for that mysteriously been banned!?
1) Is there evidence that the Jews were expelled to Libya … or are you going alone?
2) Is there evidence of just how much are these Jews?
3) Are there any Jewish evidence that he or his relatives have property in Libya?
4) Is there ever expelled or left the Jews of Libya?
5) The Jewish community will give you the compensations (hundreds of billions)
Do all the Libyan people for murder, destruction of NATO and its terrorists and will return the full amount + redress robbed Libyan sovereign Jewish assets in monetary institutions
(the reasons are – World Jewish Mafia (lobby) plan, perform and continue – genocide, ethnic cleansing, terrorism, colonization with the usual Jewish settlements and privatization of resources !!! Throughout the genocide and destruction in Libya’s sovereign began with a lie – “thousands of peaceful protesters bombarded the Libyan aviation”, this historical lie constantly announced in the Zionist “media” (CNN, SKY, BBC, FOX, FRANCE 24, AL JAZEERA .. ….)
and Zionist organizations such as false – “Human Rights Watch” and “Amnesty International” and “ICC” and all these parasitic and terrorist organizations and the media are owned or funded by the Jewish lobby !!! …. …
But someone must pay “bill” and “someone” must be judged on historical trial for genocide and ethnic cleansing, destruction and robbery of a peaceful, prosperous and beautiful country – Libya !?! Required Libyan people should seek (and to take) hundreds of billions of redress from the Jewish community because –
1) just the Jewish community planning, orchestration and ignite war in Libya, which all begin with false reports and propaganda in the Jewish media (CNN, SKY , BBC, FOX, FRANCE 24, AL JAZEERA ……)!
2) Just as the Jews caused the war and that Sarkozy parasite – Bernard Levy!
3) That the Jews in the Jewish monetary authorities arrested, Eastern and plundered billions of Libyan assets that are owned by the Libyan people!
4) That the Jewish lobby done and continues to do so – pressure on governments, politicians and all organizations working on behalf of the Board of rats and rats!
5) Just Jewish drone missile commit terrorist attacks against the Libyan people (not to wonder what these pilots and their conscience to carry out this genocide – read “Talmud” and you’ll understand why)
6) On the Jews and the Jewish lobby ran illegal TVsovereign in Libya (Benghazi) without the permission of the legitimate government and the Libyan people and deliberately drowned broadcast Libyan state television!? This means that the insurgency (with Libyan nationality) fought and killed the Libyan brothers and sisters, because they lied that the Libyan army carried out mass killings and rapes and that most cities were “liberated” by the “revolutionaries” and that there waiting for them with open hearts!
7) The Jewish lobby and Jewish politicians exert pressure in the U.S. to steal Libyan assets and to support the extermination, robbery and destruction of the Libyan people, sovereignty, infrastructure and state!
8) The Jewish Lobby performed worldwide pressure on governments and politicians to support a false and illegal resolutions in Libya (the UN) and talk shit about Gaddafi … “” Mode “”!
9) Jewish terrorist organization – Mossad arms and helped al-Qaeda (CIA + Mossad + M6) and the Libyan terrorists to kill, torture, kidnapping, rape and threaten Libyans!
10) The World Jewish Mafia war on fire in order not to violate Jewish world monetary monopoly of Gaddafi’s plans to establish an African Monetary Fund IMF and expelling terrorist! World Jewish Mafia and Jewish lobby (same) support the ethnic cleansing of blacks in Libya and genocide against the entire Libyan people to be able to reduce the population of the Libyans on behalf of Jewish settlers (with the lie that lived in Libya or relatives the Jews “expelled” from Libya ……
usual lies and dirt of the Zionists), because Libya has everything that a nation wants – energy, water … everything needed to create a second Jewish state – second Palestine!
11) false Jewish organizations – owned by Jews and financed by Jews set fire to maintain and continue to backfire through the lies, manipulations and false reports to all their impertinence with the Libyan army accused of crimes against humanity and pass when the crimes of terrorists NATO – as “crimes committed by the Libyan army and militia … Gaddafi (” mode “)! We carcasses Libyans killed by NATO and its terrorists are transferred to the victims of Gaddafi …” mode “!?
Jewish question organization or organizations created and funded by the Jewish mafia is as follows – “Amnesty International” and “Human Rights Watch” (most popular) – owned by Jewish terrorist financing George Soros and the so-called – “ICC”!
12) huge pressure from world Jewish Mafia – UN and Council of “security” vote “resolution” of the final decision – Libyan Q and of course – a change of the constitution and the UN Charter, international law and the Geneva Convention!! According to this amendment (if done) from now on, foreign governments can be elected and appointed government, politicians and political systems in foreign “sovereign” countries!
reason for this latest perversion of the Council of “security” and when the UN appointed government of Libya (rejected by the Libyan people) and which”Government is composed of foreigners, Jews lied that lived in Libya, a proven leader of a terrorist organization, Libyan traitors and former employees of the Libyan government (or through bribery or threats) and Libyan criminals!
As the United Nations with all its arrogance under pressure from Jewish Mafia gave full permission of the false “Libyan government to” kill, kidnapping, raping, torturing, and executing each threatens a Libyan terrorist government rejects al-Qaeda, NATO, foreigners, criminals and Libyan Jewish Mafia !!!
Indeed, who knows tricks and impudence of those Jewish communities (followers of the Talmud)! An example is the criminal acquisition of double, triple + citizenship throughpressure from the Jewish Mafia and use their weapons – the “anti-Semitism!” For Israeli passports everyone knows! Jewslove to pretend always the most “tortured”, “mostdisadvantaged”, “most persecuted” …..
A “poor”! They love tocome to foreign countries and finds that it is their relatives who lived there before 50 … 100 or 200 years ago and immediatelyscream that his heirs and want passports for them, their children,their cousins … and their pets (often redress from the State for thefictional “repression” than their relatives)! In this way many Jewshave several passport! It is possible that soon Jewish scientist to discover that Jews come from the planet Mars and claimownership of Mars and Martians reparations that have driven them from “their home” place! ((((!!!……………………………………
Democracy ? Zionist European Union, USA, Israel and their false “media and organizations” – just not allowed to use such a word “democracy” “freedom,” “human rights and freedoms”, “free media” and “freedom of political orientation ” !!!
Example of what happens in Bulgaria! – Scenarios conducted by the World Jewish mafia is the same! Example of what happens in my country Bulgaria after the introduction of “democracy”!
Suddenly there were thousands of Jews claiming to be expelled after World War II came to power by the communist government? Actually that’s a lie! Indeed, the communist government made nationalization, but Jews no one pursued them, just some decide to leave voluntarily by selling their properties in Bulgarian families and other property Bulgarian government gave compensation to Jewish owners – how fair is it not already know. …
But something has happened more than 60 years! During this time these properties were repaired and maintained by the Bulgarian families and they are grown for 2-3 generations of Bulgarian families! (By this logic, the Jews can claim compensation from the Egyptian people that thousands of years ago Jewish slaves worked on the pyramids
and they had not been provided then the care deserved!) Under pressure from the World Jewish Mafia “Bulgarian” puppet government Bulgarian families expelled from their homes and give them the mysterious Jewish heirs – repaired and maintained by Bulgarian citizens decades, “Bulgarian” Court even does not respect the documents presented by the Bulgarians, that these properties were bought with money from their moms and dads (or grandparents) and those Jewish heirs can not claim for restitution!
This “little problem” was solved by a puppet “Bulgarian Parliament” by law for mandatory restitution to Jewish heirs who earn a “victim” and that their relatives in the past have received less money under threat! So one way or another, all Jews were given their property and Bulgarian families hit the street on which they were given some junk – pieces of paper (called – compensatory vouchers) that not only were tens of times less value than those taken Jews of their property, but subsequently deliberately devalued by the Jewish mafia, which of course already had all the financial institutions in Bulgaria!
So far, this Bulgarian families litigate in Bulgarian and European courts without any result, of course! By the way thanks to the Jewish Mafia and many state properties and agricultural lands were “returned” to the Jews – not even own or produce documents and evidence to claim ownership of … …
were spent again they or their relatives in the past – “victims of repression” by … Ahhh “poor” – the communist regime !!! WARNING !!! – UN and Council of “security” (the weapon of the Zionists) started a new Jewish occupation of the next sovereign state and its people -Libya! Of course, again accompanied with genocide, destruction,humiliation and systematic extermination of the Libyan people(make them kill each – other and separate NATO and al-Qaeda (Mossad) further helps to reduce the population of the Libyan population! Suddenly, that “someone “in the past been banished 37,000 Jews and mysterious” was taken away “their property” !?!
Of course these “harassment” and mysterious Jews “had become”has 200,000,000 !?! This means that hundreds of thousands of Libyans will be destroyed and hundreds of thousands of Libyan families will be displaced and their homes will be seized by the Jewish dirt (a fictitious reason that these were their homes and taken from the Libyans)! separate Jewish army and paid terrorists would deliberately kill and harass Libyan people for the simples treason to reduce his population, while others migrate !!! Certainly hundreds of billions that are owned by the Libyan peopleand arrested (robbed) of Jewish monetary institutions will beforfeited in favor of the new Jewish state – Libya’s Jewish! … …
These dirty and sneaky Jews always pretend to be violated most of the planet and the world suffers most because of them! And now brazenly reclaim some mysterious “Jewish property” in Libya … !? Jews want something from Libya? OK – then we must speak the truth (without bypassing) – Libya’s Jews ask
1) restoration of property destroyed by a Libyan terrorist Zionist Alliance!
2) redress from the Jewish community for complicity in genocide in Libya (UN Jewish pressure, “media” fake organizations “human rights” Jewish terrorism (by Mossad) and many leading Jewish evil lies, illegal war, genocide, ethnic cleansing of blacks, robbery Libyan sovereign assets of Jewish financial institutions ….!
3) Complete recovery of stolen Jewish institutions Libyan assets! 4) Court for the Jewish people made war in Libya – the instigators of war, the Jewish “media” false Jewish organizations (to know), Jewish agents (such as Bernard Levy), Jewish lobbies – like McCain and other parasites and the global war mongers! After the war in Libya, no longer to ask stupid questions – why people hate Jews … …
Perhaps it is true that
all wars are for Jews !?! (If a Jew is insulted … I recommend him to address his countrymen to criticism) *-sourcephoto: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=132058143564036&set=o.196094283759324&type=3

—Misurata view from nearBy Dr / AlmaadanyI want to explain to you that Misrata is divided into five sections:The first section they Ma’dan and Alsoaoh minority currently displaced due by the rest of the sections
Two and buy their land and property and a large portion of whom migrated to the valleys of Sirte and to areas of western Libya
Ileus in the booty and the good guys and the Palace —
They are the children of the second section of the breed they Sheikh Sheikh Abdul Salam and brown them Dhana Abouchaalh
And Ahawahdh and Lafrattsh and others, and also are a minority and do not have full rights —-
They are the third section of other Libyan tribes settled with the creation of Misrata seaport and trade boom
Or because of some Altarat in their regions, such as the family and the family of Haniah Sweep and family and the family of Haninh Azzouzh
The mourning family and other tribes and other such blessings and Almzauge and this section represents more than 25% of
Misurata’s population, but they are vulnerable and violators of the rights due to lack of Tlahmanm and dispersed by consensus —–
The first three sections represent more than 60% of the population of Misrata but the majority of digestible rights
——-
Section IV controlled a section in Misurata economically, commercially and politically, they Circassians illusion of
The population of Southeast Asia in the original and the Anatolian Plateau and the Turks following two “Alkrglah” including families
Ben Ali Ismail and head and Aldharat and Alzkdh and Alhdoba López and Ben Hamida and Alzerada and Ayb
And others —–
The final section are the Jews and representing the gain of 15% of the population of Misrata and existing them Almquaobh and religion
His Highness Ali grandfather Almqhob largest and Kaplan family and Ramalli knowing that Almqaoppe particular are still speak
In Hebrew and even today this section announced his conversion to Islam after campaigns of displacement, which began in Libya for the Jews
After the year 1948, and knead to ward off the danger from them … and to maintain their property .. not convinced Islam
Doctrine …. note that the banner of Israel, which has been referred to the combined high at the beginning of the outbreak in the hyper
Misurata was instituted by Almqaoppe proof of affiliation to the Jewish state as that all communications that has
With the Jews in Turkey and Europe has by Jewish families and you have some family names owe their origin
To Jews to Alan in Libya, such as family and Alfortah and Almqaoppe and Circassian and Krgla and Soihl.
When the Ottoman Empire collapsed left camps in Libya “softening” They are in the army-raised
Turkish camps to yell fighters .. They are of different nationalities nor their parents? ! It was
Their camps .. in each of the Friday market and Misrata and Derna.
I know that all the Libyans know these facts .. and that does not even mention unfair to some residents of Misurata all
Behavior .. which does not reflect the spirit of Arabism and Islam and the values of the equestrian and magnanimity will know ..
Soon residents of Misurata reaction to this real shame that those inflicted by strangers.

Thank Valiant National Army forces victor and united with the people for the protection of the House of Representatives and the protection of the citizen to the country Wu.
NEXT HERE is a ststement from the BASTARD CORRUPT , deceiving and Lying /(NATZI) Zionist leaders of MISRATA, who work for the USA & ISRAEL–(which includes QATARI):
Libya, the message to the media: On the statement of the leader of Al Qaeda in Misurata
Misurata, Libya Here is the statement made by a chief of the Al-Qaeda Office in Misurata that evidentially reveal its direct link to the West. The same owners from the West and their allies manage the occupation regime of Libya i.e. puppets of NATO, Al-Qaeda and armed gangs of rats from Misurata and from other cities. Today they jointly occupy Libya. They continue to suppress the People’s Resistance, rob, and kill the inhabitants of the cities. They are going to continue to do it until the people of Libya will not resist to their dictatorship of the occupiers. This had already happened in the history of Libya during the Nazi occupation. At that time, there also were those among the population who were happy to see the occupation forces and helped them. This statement of the chief leader of the Al-Qaeda group in the city of Misurata is one more proof of the well-known fact that all so-called В«revolutionariesВ» get their moral and financial support from one and the same the same headquarters from which the commands to kill people come out.
However, they cannot already hide the fact that the U.S.A and NATO do not fight against al-Qaeda, because the bandit organization kills as anyone see, only the enemies of the U.S A. and NATO. Their activity is a pretext for the invasion and occupation of any independent country (including Libya).The leaders of al-Qaeda openly declare to planning war crimes in Libya and conducting genocide of different tribes. West and its allies destroyed the prosperous socialist state by hands of gangs and continue to wreak havoc and fear in Libya.
Now they make from Misurata another center of power in order to force Libyan to divide own state and to defend themselves against them this way. As for the message, they did not from the city of Bani Walid their “Emirate”, is nothing more than their lies, but they are going to do it. They tried to destroy, plunder all, and take to Misurata. Their task they have got from their masters is very simple: it is to destroy modern industrial objects in the cities that they cannot control.
They are willing to push to ignorant mode of life those independent tribes which were successfully developing during the the last century. They state that the destroyed «nest of depravity, unbelief, and immorality», but their behavior and crimes they committing are well known for thousand of people all over the world. Obeying and learning from their masters from the West, they follow their lifestyle – it their manners are rude, they drink alcohol and use drugs, they use prostitutes for pleasures of the flesh and rape defenseless girls and women. It is repeating in all countries where the criminals of al-Qaeda and other international gangs appear on the bayonets of NATO.
The occupation regime in the name of Al-Qaeda is terrorizing all Libyans, who spread the truth about what is happening in this country. The criminal gangs travel freely in such countries as Egypt and Tunisia. In these countries, there are the largest numbers of refugees from Libya. They are all are victims of the occupation. The most active disseminators of facts about Libya abducted or killed even at the hospitals in these countries. The most horrible and widespread everyday crime is to rape members of the family in front of the rest of their relatives. The Libyans tried to appeal to the Human Rights organizations of the West, which is dangerous and in major cases is useless.
The leaders of the gangs have good contacts to human rights activists quickly learned about the attempts and people who risk going there. The truth is as follows: Western organizations legitimize capture a country, and after that, they cover the routes of exposure of the truth in the war-torn occupied countries. Read the message and make your own conclusions:
Urgent and Very Serious: Khaled al-Sharif [leader of Al-Qaeda in Misrata] in his interview past today (21.11.2012) to Misurata TV channelsaid literally: We have successfully liberated Bani Walid of the infidels and lechery and deployed the army of Allah. I had the honor and dignity to have been the leader of one of the forces on the fronts of Bani Walid, which is now an Islamic emirate. We, the National Guard are currently clearing Tripoli from the people of Werfalla in order to become a safer and more stable city.
Nowadays, and in cooperation with the honorable Sheikh Ghnewah al-kikli [sheikh of Al –Qaeda] implement a plan to clean Tripoli especially the districts of Abu Saleem and al-Hadba of the last remnants of this city. I would say that some of the tribes that have deviated from the curricula of our revolution would be cleansed soon. We will crush anyone who thinks of disobeying the State [occupation regime] whether they were sheltered behind stolen weapons or trenches and mounds with which they surrounds their city.
We will not retreat from crushing them. Those who think of antagonizing Misurata think of antagonizing Libya. The cliques that now and then come out on the channels and sites to stultify our war [media war] on Bani Walid and show it as illegitimate. We say to them: “Your blood is wasted, and Your tribes that protect You will soon be pounded from everywhere until they become under the obedience and loyalty [to occupation regime] and we have religious resolution from the Mufti [mufti of Al-Qaeda] to do that.” You shirk from Your responsibilities towards the country by stultifying the Guardian’s decision to wage the war on Bani Walid and try to assault the mujahid al-Mangoush. You are ignorant and stupid and do not know what awaits you.
Death is coming to You and You will only be like Bani Walid now. You will go back to Your profession known to all Libyans, collecting food from the ground [non-mechanized agriculture, at the level of the last century, literally “pluck the food from trees”], to carry it to Your masters in Misurata and to all houses of Libyan rebels and honest people. That is Your natural position… May peace and God’s mercy and blessings be upon You [his blessing to rats].” In general, racism and ethnic and religious intolerance became characteristic features of all West-made terrorist organizations and puppets regimes. This is the real attitude to the rest of the world. To all of us.
