Here you can get the book: http://www.mysticsofthemaya.com/ Errata: It sounds like I'm saying Columbus and his brother sold this map to the king of Portugal. Not so; the king of Portugal obtained  the map from Nicolo Conti some thirty years  before Christibol Colon was born. When Bartholomew went to work in the map-making office of Henry the Navigator, he became aware of the map, and he and his brother concocted a scheme, by which they would reconfigure the map, making the African Continent much larger to discourage the idea of sailing East, and using this to obtain financing for a voyage West. Whether he approached other monarchs beside Isabella and Ferdinand is unknown to me, but Spain bought into this scheme.  - Loren
