Diego Hernando. Professional musician.
Hernando's huge ambition would turn his great
library into the first“database” of information.
The economist Hernando de Soto said,"Without an address, you live outside the law.
He was later followed by other Spanish explorers,
such as Pánfilo de Narváez in 1528 and Hernando de Soto in 1539.
Explorer Hernando de Soto brought pigs to the Americas in 1539,
where they became quite popular among native groups in North and South America.
Hernando wanted to build his library with all known printed books,
because he wanted to catalogue all human knowledge in every language and every subject.
As documented extensively by Hernando de Soto and others,
even if they happen to own land in the developing world, they may not have effective title to it.
Hernando was born in 1488 which is important due to the
fact the printing press had been invented forty years prior and first used to print manuscripts into books.
While Diego continued his father's legacy as governor and
admiral of the Indies, Hernando set his sights on becoming a scholar by building
the largest collection of printed books that existed.
University of Cambridge literature professor Edward Wilson-Lee recently published“The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books”(2019), which is the only book
detailing the life of Columbus' second son Hernando and his incredible obsession with books.
In his book The Mystery of Capital, Hernando de Soto says:“The poor inhabitants of these[poor]
nations- five-sixths of humanity- do have things, but they lack the process to represent their property and create capital.
