The Golden Page of Major Santos Ferreira!
By Manuel Luciano da Silva, Medical Doctor

I lost count the number of hours that my wife and me have spent analyzing the documents and texts about the Navigator Cristóvão Colon, more commonly known as Columbus.

Finally we found page number 3 on the book written by Major Santos Ferreira entitled “Salvador Gonsalves Zarco” (Cristóvão Colon), published in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1930, one year before he died in 1931 at the age of 81.

This page number 3 possesses only 22 lines. But it is indeed a marvelous discovery. It is true that the greatest discoveries in humanity are the simplest ones. This theorem is confirmed by the fact they have been awarded the Noble Prize in Chemistry, Physics and Medicine!

Major Santos Ferreira was always an excellent officer, and always very meticulous.

He married an English lady, Maria Stuart Hainsworth, and from her he learned the Anglo-Saxon culture and also the British way of using the Greek Punctuation with which he was able to make the correct diagnosis of the Sigla.

Santos Ferreira was a scientific investigator, archeologist, heraldist, (he analyzed hundreds of Portuguese Family Coat of Arms), he wrote about many different subjects, and even translated the Bible into Portuguese.

“ He had an intelligence of great erudition, and a high caliber that he dedicated to archeology, epigraphy, numismatic, genealogy and history. He was a Hebraist and became particularly interested the various versions of the of the Bible in Portuguese”.

I consider Major Santos Ferreira the greatest erudite knowledgeable in Latin, Greek and Hebrew to be able to correctly diagnose the Sigla of the Navigator. He never used any cabala tricks, nor any inverted mirror images!

He only read what is written on the Sigla. He read it as if were an “electrocardiogram” and this way he was able to make the correct diagnosis. Fantastic!

Here is the Golden Page of Major Santos Ferreira. Read and reread it, and meditate on it.

A person that wants to accept the Greek meaning of the Greek punctuation will have the pleasure of understanding the meaning of the Sigla. If you don’t, too bad for you!

TRANSLATION OF PAGE NUMBER 3 :

"Luckier that those who preceded me on this curious inquiry, I dared to concentrate on the period and the inclined dash that follows XpoFERENS on which nobody had attempted until now. It is very possible that these two graphics could have also escaped my observation, if I had only before me one facsimile of the signature; But because I had two distinct documents, and both reproduced exactly the small Sigla, I understood it not to be a mere and occasional mistake of the configuration of the Sigla, but an integral part of it, and therefore should be considered as part of its interpretation.

Because both commas on text of both letters (I had received) had the drawing, dimensions and the inclination perfectly equal to the inclined dash in question, it was easy for me to recognize a period and an inclined dash, which could represent the colon of the ancient grammaticians of whom we still see as vestiges on the names of Colon and Semicolon which are still used by the English people as two periods and a period and inclined dash or virgule of modern English writing.

XpoFERENS - / = Cristovam Colon was therefore my reading of the lower line of the Sigla or Trademark— This interpretation revealed the true reading of the orthography in which the Sigla was written with the conventional name of the Navigator.

My reading was correct as I will confirm it further on."
