About the Book

Documento de valor histórico excepcional, el diario de a bordo de Colón desapareció en el transcurso del siglo XVI sin volver a luz. En su maravilloso texto, Christian Duverger desentraña los misterios que se ciñen sobre este.

Cristóbal Colón fue el cronista de su propia hazaña: un viaje y un descubrimiento que cambiaron el mundo entero. A su regreso a España, Colón entrega su diario a los reyes. Fernando de Aragón, consciente de la importancia del documento, inmediatamente encomienda a dos escribas una copia. A la muerte del Almirante, la copia a dos manos pasa a manos de su hijo Diego y, veinte años después, llega a las de su medio hermano, Hernando. Poco tiempo después, la copia real desaparece para siempre.

Conocemos el diario de a bordo de Colon por dos versiones: la de su hijo Hernando (que se entresaca de la biografía que escribió del Almirante) y la de Fray Bartolomé de las Casas. Este libro reúne ambas versiones, anotando sus coincidencias y discrepancias. Además, la edición de Christian Duverger incluye otro documento importante: la famosa Carta a Santángel, el primer texto impreso que dio a conocer el descubrimiento de Colón.

En su introducción, el historiador francés relata la historia de ambos documentos (el diario y la carta) no sólo como el testimonio de un descubrimiento histórico, sino también como el reflejo de toda una cosmovisión.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A document of exceptional historical value, Christopher Columbus's logbook disappeared during the 16th century without a trace.

In this marvelous text, Christian Duverger unravels the mysteries surrounding it. Christopher Columbus was the chronicler of his own achievements: a journey and a discovery that changed the entire world. Upon his return to Spain, Columbus handed over his diary to the monarchs.
Ferdinand of Aragón, aware of the importance of the document, immediately ordered two scribes to make a copy. Upon the death of the Admiral, the twohanded copy passed to Columbus's son Diego, and twenty years later, made it to his half-brother, Hernando. A short time later, the royal copy disappeared forever. We know Columbus's captain's log by two versions: that of his son Hernando (who extracts himself from the biography he wrote of the Admiral) and that of Fray Bartolomé de las Casas. This book unites both versions, making note of the similarities and discrepancies. Additionally,
Christian Duverger's edition includes another important document: the famous Letter to Santángel, the first printed text to mention Columbus's discovery.
