Gotta find out ...
P.S. ... - you know.
P.P.S. I am immensely curious for the rediscovery in Kopenhagen of Fernando Colón's (1488–1539) 'Libro de los Epítomes'. It is the final and most comprehensive copy of his project to summarize all the books of his library. His 'Libro de los Epítomes' is an index of 16 books. These 16 books are not complementary to each other (summary 1 to 20,000) but, to put it in an image, parallel and partly overlapping lists of book summaries. The Kopenhagen copy is the most comprehensive index with 3,500 summaries ... only a little over 2,000 did survive - the first and last part are missing.
