Codex 632

內容簡介

The identity of one of the most celebrated and controversial historical figures comes into focus... Was Christopher Columbus really Italian? Or was he Portuguese? Was Columbus Jewish, or was he Christian? Did Columbus secretly alter the way the naval empires of Spain and Portugal divided the known world in two? Codex 632 explains it all. Tomas Noronha--professor of history of the New University of Lisbon and expert in crypto-analysis and in ancient languages--has been hired by a prestigious American foundation to complete the investigation of an old historian who recently passed away. Among the findings is an enigmatic message that seems to be the key of those studies and that, according to the late historian, can change the course of known history. Thus Tomas is entered into a mystery that grows progressively complicated. It will lead him through various countries and continents as he follows a trail that leads to a shocking secret about the discovery of America--the true identity of Christopher Columbus. Based on real historic documents, Codex 632 is a riveting quest to uncover the identity of Christopher Columbus. From his very name, to his country of origin, his language, his upbringing, and even his religious beliefs--the true identity of "the man who discovered America" remains a mystery for the world to this day.
