Many have been those who have
written that Don Fernando Colon told us all there was
to know about Christopher Columbus's identity and
Christopher Columbus's birthplace. Yet this is not true.
Don Fernando Colon did not reveal half of the Columbus
Mystery although the half that he did reveal was enough
for us to write a mismatched history. The missing link
in all of the histories of Christopher Columbus was his
Portuguese life. By passing over the Portuguese life and
the Portuguese wife of Columbus as insignificant a major
part of Columbus's identity was erased and rewritten. It
was by reviewing the Portuguese component of Columbus
that we were able not only to poke holes in the current
fantasy of a poor Genoese but to actually fill in the
missing links that were needed to put the whole Columbus
voyage into perspective.
Yet this was not needed if the words of Fernando Colon
had not been so forcibly pushed on us as the "Mystery
solvers" that they are not. In fact they still conceal
the Mystery quite well as we can see from the 1571
original. |

End of line
5 he explains "Some
wanted me to endeavor to say..."
and then Fernando gives a laundry list of what others were inventing but that he
refused to confirm.
Terminating the laundry list, right away on line 20th, Fernando starts. "But I removed myself from such a
task..."
(he refused to confirm the rumors). For this reason the words prior have
no weight at all. They remained as rumors and they are clearly NOT the words of
Don Fernando but of others.

Continuing on the next page, in the middle of line 6 ,
Don Fernando starts a new dialog about the secrecy that
his father required.
"In a way that...both
his motherland and origins should remain less certain
and known.." (period)
On Line 10 Fernando starts with "Because
some that in a certain way think to obscure his fame,
say he was from Nervi.....
Another words from Line 10 until line 26 Don Fernando is
describing the rumors and falsities that others were
spreading, those that wanted to make Columbus less than
he was him as well as those that wanted to make
Columbus into something that he was not saying
that he was from a "Colombo
family of Piacenza
...and thus he called himself
Colon." (this thought finishes with
another period)
In all of these sentences we should not take them as the
words of Don Fernando but clearly as the words of
others.
Because after the period Don Fernando starts with :
"Considering all of this
(that I just wrote) I was led to believe that in the
same way that most of his things were surrounded by
mystery |
 |
|
.. so too what has to do
with the diversity of such a name and surname was not
devoid of mystery.
Another words all of Columbus's
life was truly mystery including his first and his last
names.
Now that Don Fernando left the whokle mystery of the
birthplace, origins, lineage and true name a mystery
just as his father had required he goes on to give us
the actual correct explanation for where the names
Christopher and
Colon came from. On the middle of line
2 he starts
"Many names could be brought as examples that were given
by some occult cause as an evidence of what was about to
happen...
Then fernando explain that his fatehr could have been
seen as being a Dove (Colombo)in the sense that he acted
to bring Grace of the Dove of the Holy Spirit to
the New World...because the Holy Spirit showed itself to
St. John as a Dove.."
Another
words Christopher Columbus or rather Cristobal Colon was
only a symbolic Dove (Colombo or Paloma) and only while
he acted as the porter of the Holy Spirit to those who
did not know of it.
On the 19th line he ends the explanation for this
symbolic Dove and then tells us the real reason why
Columbus chose the name COLON which trumps and proves
false all the other rumors that came before..
"And therefore
it came to him as if on purpose the surname COLON ...
because in Greek it means MEMBER."
Indeed the Latin colon comes from the
Greek kolon meaning member and is used in our
punctuation as colon (:) and semi-colon (;) and Columbus
used both of these symbols : ./ in his
secret
signature.
Now on line 25 Fernando gives us the clear Latin of the
name as "Christophorus Colonus".
This is not because Fernando did not know how to write
Dove in Latin as Columbus but because his father's name
had nothing to do with Columbus. |

Depois Don Fernando explica que seu pai
"escolheu"
os nomes Christoforo e o nome
Colonus
porque pedia com eles a ajuda de Christo para a sua missão
perigosa de atravesssar aquele mar.
Assim não tinha os nomes Cristoforo nem Colon como seus
próprios nomes
mas escolheu-os como nomes que tinham em si poderes misticos para que
Christo o ajudasse.
Isto é melhor entendido levando em mente que muitas pessoas ao
dar um
paço de fé na religião mudavam o seus nomes de
baptizmo tal como Nuno Álvares Pereira se tornou em
Nuno de Santa Maria
e tal como
"Fernando
Martim de Bulhões e Taveira Azevedo" escolheu para
si o nome de "Antônio" tornando-se mais tarde "Santo"
António de Lisboa. |
