However, realizing that such a large collection of books would not be very useful without a way of organizing and distilling them, he employed an army of readers to read every book and distill it down to a short summary, or "[[epitome]]". The result was the [[Libro de los Epítomes|''Libro de los Epitomes'' (Book of Epitomes)]]. Soon after Hernando's death in 1539 at age 50, this volume went missing for nearly 500 years—until in 2019 it was serendipitously discovered in a [[University of Copenhagen]] special collection. Many of the early printed publications that the ''Book of Epitomes'' summarizes are now lost; but thanks to the out-of-wedlock [[bibliophile]] Hernando Columbus, eager to emulate in his own way his father and "legitimate" half-brother, invaluable insights are becoming available into the knowledge and thought of the early [[Modern Period]].<ref>[[Ari Shapiro]], "Christopher Columbus' Son Had an Enormous Library.
