This is an extensively researched book about the life of Hernando Colon, son of Christopher Columbus, and the Biblioteca Colombina he created in 1539. Prior to his death Hernando collected between 10,000 and 20,000 items for his library, including over 3000 books. His library was organized using a system he created for it and was the first library to use bookshelves where the books were shelved vertically. He collected any paper object that struck his fancy, including playing cards and lyrics to songs.This was a fascinating read about one man’s bibliomania and his desire to collect every book on every subject. It is well written and doesn’t get overly bogged down in the author’s research.

Intriguing history

I now have a special place in my heart for Hernando Colón. His collections and organizational systems are totally mind-boggling and absolutely fascinating. As a "natural son" (not the product of a legitimate union) Colón could "win legitimacy only by showing himself to be his father's son in spirit." Colón strove to achieve this distinction by accumulating massive amounts of written works, printed images, music, and plants to create a collection that would far surpass any other collection of its time. Colón also kept meticulous details in multiple ledgers and created complex organizational systems. This book dives into some of Colón's collections, examines particular items in the collection, offers insight into why some items were especially important to Colón and analyzes why some were never discussed by the collector.This book is very dense and I wouldn't recommend it to the average book lover but if you're ready to go on a deep dig then this is the book for you!

I was intrigued--Columbus had a son who created the world's greatest library? Why hadn't we heard about him? What happened to all the books? How did he even embark on such a quest? I had to read this book.Hernando may have been an illegitimate son but in 1502 his father Christopher Columbus took the thirteen-year-old along on his fourth voyage to the New World. Hernando started his life familiar with lands and cultures that most of the world didn't even know existed.The book recounts Columbus's discoveries and his struggle to maintain his status and share of New World wealth for his heirs.The Admiral of the Ocean reigned as the greatest explorer for only a short time before he was dethroned. He became old news as successive explorers stole attention and acclaim. Spain sought to discredit Columbus as the first to discover the New World, desirous of keeping all the New World wealth. Hernando determined to return and solidify his father's status by writing a book about his father's life--essentially the first biography.The other part of the book is Hernando's thirst for knowledge, his obsession with collecting books of every kind, in every language--even if he couldn't read them. He collected prints and maps and art and ephemera gleaned from small booksellers.He kept lists of his books and when he lost over a thousand books in a shipwreck he knew which ones he needed to replace. He developed methods to catalog and organize the books and to retrieve the information in the books.Hernando was called upon to create a definitive map of the New World so that Spain and Portugal could finalize their territorial rights. He began an exhaustive dictionary but abandoned it knowing he could never finish it.As he traveled across Europe, Hernando came into contact with all the great thinkers whose ideas were rocking the world: Erasmus, Luther, Rabelais, Thomas More. During Hernando's lifetime, Henry was looking to divorce Catherine, Suleiman was conquering the Eastern reaches of Europe, and the Holy Roman Emperor was crowned as the head of church and state. Luther's teaching had fueled the Peasant's Revolt and the anti-authoritarian Anabaptist movement arose.In his later life, Hernando settled down and built his house and perfected his library. His garden was an arboretum containing plants and trees from across the world.Hernando's achievement was remarkable. His goal to order all human knowledge for accessible retrieval was monumental. But after his death, most of his work and library were lost to neglect and time.Through the life of one man, The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books gave me a panoramic view of the 16th c., an overview of the life and achievements of Christopher Columbus, and a biography of his son Hernando.I received a free ebook from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

Edward Wilson-Lee has chosen to gift readers with the story of Hernando Colon, the illegitimate son of Christopher Columbus. This book is so much more than just Hernando's story. It is also the story of what happened to Christopher Columbus after the voyage we all learned about in school. Hernando accompanied Columbus on several voyages, and wrote a biography of his father. Hernando had a mission to create a fantastic library (he succeeded in 1539).I found the book a slow read, but so worthwhile. I appreciated this addition to history and the complexity of Hernando's life and travels. Mr. Wilson reveals the secrets of the amazing library Hernando set out to gather. Colon was a true adventurer, and the story of his life is interwoven with the tales of fantastic books, their subjects and authors, as well as music, plants and artifacts. The bibliophile in me is in awe of the collection, between 10 and 20,000 books all carefully documented - so beneficial when he lost over 1,00 in a shipwreck, he had a list of what to replace!The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books is by no means an easy read. There is a wealth of information, and I found it easiest to absorb in small sections. This would make an excellent book discussion selection, as there are so many avenues to explore and discuss.I received my copy through NetGalley and am under no obligation to the publisher.
