Was Columbus "a Jew.

From the Jewish World.
Jews figure prominently in the history
of the discovery of America. The plans
and calculations for Columbus's expc-
dition were largely the work of two He
brew astronomers and mathematicans.
Two Jews were also employed as inter-
prefers by Columbus. and one of them,
Luiz de Torres. was the first European to
set foot i'm the New World. When Col
umbus sighted the island of San Saliva
dor he imagined he was approaching n
portion of the East Asiatic coast, and he
sent Torres, who was engaged for his
knowledge of Arabic, ashore to make
inquiries of the natives. Ii was prob
ably this Torres who was the Madrid jew
TO whom Columbus b~equeathed half a
mark of silver in his will. Another cur
ious fact is that il has been c~uriously sug-
gested-by Mr.. Delitzsch,we b~elieye-that
Columbus himself was a Jew,or of Jewish
birth. The name Of Christopher was fire.
quently adopted by converts, while the
urnaIne Colon belonged to a distinguished
family of Jewish scholars. C~hristopher's
father, Diego, bore originally the Jewish
name Jacob, which sounds surprisingly
like a Shem KadSsh. Perhaps during the
coming celebrations sofne Jewish scholars
in Italy will make inquiry into the validity
of this daring suggestion.
