Note 348 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

Napione, in Mémoires de l’Académie de Turin (1805), xii. 116, and (1823) xxvii. 73,—the first part being printed separately at Florence, in 1808, as Della Patria di Colombo, while he printed, in 1809, Del primo scopritore del continente del nuovo mondo. In the same year J. D. Lanjuinais published at Paris, in reference to Napione, his Christophe Colomb, ou notice d’un livre Italien concernant cet illustre navigateur. Cf. the same author’s Etudes (Paris, 1823), for a sketch of Columbus, pp. 71-94; Dissertazioni di Francesco Cancellieri sopra Colombo, Rome, 1809; and Vicenzio Conti’s historical account of Montferrat. In 1853 Luigi Colombo, a prelate of the Roman Church, who claimed descent from an uncle of the Admiral, renewed the claim in his Patria e biografia del grande ammiraglio D. Cristoforo Colombo de’ conti e signori di Cuccaro, Roma, 1853. Cf. Notes on Columbus, p. 73.
