used books,books, The Admiral and His Lady: Columbus and Filipa of Portugal by Maria de Freitas Treen is a classic book focusing upon a biographical mystery about one of the foremost figures in world history, Christopher Columbus. Columbus' first wife, Filipa Moniz Perestrello, who became the mother of his only legitimate child, his oldest son Diego, was a Portuguese noblewoman with whom Columbus lived on the small Portuguese island of Porto Santo, and before this book was published very little information was available to scholars on the mystery Portuguese woman who shaped Christopher Columbus into the "Great Navigator of the Ocean Blue" who in 1492 changed the path of global history. The Star of San Juan, Puerto Rico, describes Maria de Freitas Treen's seminal biographical study of Filipa as follows, inter alia: "The life of Christopher Columbus abound in contradictions, even to the point of containing a mystery woman...No book could do more to illuminate the influence of the woman of mystery on Columbus' life, and indirectly on the discovery of America than this book...The so-called mystery woman was none other than his lawfully wedded wife, Filipa Moniz Perestrello. Their marriage was a happy one...Treen's research includes numerous on-site interviews in the Madeira Islands...it was in Portugal that Columbus became a seasoned ship's officer and an accomplished chartmaker and thanks to the magnificent nautical library left in Porto Santo by Filipa Moniz's deceased father, a man learned in A.
