Was Columbus really a Jew? - Interesting A7 article
muman613:
Shalom,
I have heard a little about this in recent years. Apparently a new book deciphers a Signet used by Columbus and it reveals that he really was Jewish.
From the article @ http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127990 by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu :
(IsraelNN.com) Columbus was a Jew named Salvador Fernando Zarco and was among those expelled from Spain in 1492, a rare triangular Kabbalistic signet indicates. Jose Rodrigues Dos Santos has authored an historical novel, Codex 632: The Secret Identity of Christopher Columbus, which relates the deciphering of a rare triangular Kabbalistic signet.
The interpretation of the recent discovery of the signet claims to reveal the secret identity of Columbus. The unique triangular monogram is similar to inscriptions on gravestones in Jewish cemeteries in Spain and southern France.
It was used in the agreement between Columbus and Spanish King and Queen Ferdinand and Isabella. The Kabbalistic monogram, in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, contains two secret names: Cristobal Colon, his "nom de plume," and Salvador Fernando Zarco, Columbus's birth name, according to the author.
The American Library of Congress possesses one of four original copies of the Columbus Codex.
The Spanish kingdom signed the declaration to expel all Jews, stating that "we ordered that the Jews be separated from the cities and towns... and… ordered that an Inquisition be established in such domains."
Columbus replied, "Your Highnesses, having driven out all the Jews from your realms and lordships... I should go to the said parts of India, and for this be accorded me great rewards and ennobled me so that from that time henceforth I might style myself and be high admiral of the Ocean Sea and perpetual Governor of the islands and continent which I should discover... from generation to generation."
The only Jews who remained in Spain were those who converted to Christianity out of fear of being killed. Many of them continued to observe Jewish law clandestinely, and their descendents even today are "Marranos" (crypto-Jews) who secretly observe Jewish laws.

This is very interesting news. But Im sure somehow it will be used against us... Here in America Columbus used to be a hero but with the increasing hispanic population his fame is being tarnished.

It is very possible that Colombus was A Crypto-Jew. During the forced indoctrinations, and the Inquisition, the most terrible time started IN 1492. It is also possible that Colombus was a Portuguese Crypto-Jew as well, his family was actually from Portugal. I believe that Colombus was probably Jewish by his mother and Catholic by his father (which is how my family is). This is what was told to me as a young girl, by my own Great Grandmother who was Jewish- and Crypto-Jewish as her g-grandmother was forced into Catholic Coversion herself, they forced this upon Jews until as late as the 1950's, in Portugal. My Great Grandfather escaped in the early part of the 20th Century.

He also sailed out the day the inquisition started. I also heard their were Jewish books on his ship.

Colombus knew what was going on b4 it started. He brought Jewish people with him, he brought a Torah And a Christian Bible (Greek) He NEVER came and "defeated" the Indians, that is CRAZINESS. There were over 6 million in all of the tribes, Columbus and some seasick Jewish men didnt defeat the Iriquois. That gets a HUGE DUH
