Paris Library Yields Hidden Columbus Map Treasure
A scholar Henry Vignaud after decades of study argues Columbus wrote nothing authentic about himself. He cites a prediscovery map in Paris showing Cape Verde, Frislanda and Ice land with phrases attributed to Columbus, suggesting the map may have been drawn by Columbus himself.
