The Catalogue Of Shipwrecked Books by Edward Lee
An engaging narrative history that follows Christopher Columbus’s son as he travels across Europe collecting books and compiling a pioneering catalog of a vast Renaissance library, then traces how shipwrecks, piracy, censorship and chance dispersed and destroyed that collection; through archival sleuthing and vivid storytelling it illuminates the birth of the printed book, the global circulation of texts, and how the material journeys of books shaped early‑modern knowledge and cultural encounters.
