Note 357 — Chapter I · (continued 2)

Harrisse, Notes on Columbus, p. 73. Harrisse, in his Les Colombo de France et d’Italie, fameux marins du XVe siècle, 1461-1492 (Paris, 1874), uses some new material from the archives of Milan, Paris, and Venice, and gathers all that he can of the Colombos; and it does not seem probable that the Admiral bore anything more than a very remote relationship to the family of the famous mariners. Major (Select Letters, p. xliii) has also examined the alleged connection with the French sea-leader, Caseneuve, or Colon. Cf. Desimoni’s Rassegna del nuovo libro di Enrico Harrisse: Les Colombo de France et d’Italie (Parigi, 1874, pp. 17); and the appendices to Irving’s Columbus (nos. iv. and vi.) and Harrisse’s Les Colombo (no. vi).
