16th century
A manuscript containing the transcription of nine letters apparently sent by Christopher Columbus to the Catholic Monarchs, which appeared in 1985 in Tarragona, is called the Christopher Columbus Copy Book (Spanish: Libro copiador de Cristóbal Colón). From the form of the handwriting it has been estimated that the book could date from the last third of the 16th century.[1] Most of the nine documents are "letter-relations" that narrate the events of Columbus' various voyages of discovery to the Indies; seven were previously unknown and the other two contain a different text from what was already known.[2]
There is no unanimity as to whether the contents of the Copy Book are the work of Columbus, but most historians accept its authenticity.[3] If confirmed as authentic, the discovery of the Copy Book would constitute the most important discovery of documents relating to Columbus' voyages in the 20th century.[1]
