According to University of Cambridge academic Edward Wilson-Lee, author of a recent biography of Columbus and account of his library, The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books, "It's a discovery of immense importance, not only because it contains so much information about how people read 500 years ago, but also, because it contains summaries of books that no longer exist, lost in every other form than these summaries". Plans for the manuscript to be digitised and transcribed were already hinted at in April 2019. In December 2019, Matthew James Driscoll from the Arnamagnæan Institute at the University of Copenhagen was awarded a three-year research grant by the Carlsberg Foundation to conduct further studies on the manuscript. The project is titled "The Book of Books: Hernando Colón's Libro de los Epítomes" and is set to begin in April 2020.
