Bukilo Hufna
Bukilo Hufna was a Sephardic Jew from Ceuta who, around 1491, fled his religious upbringing at the age of 15. He stowed away on the Pinta during Christopher Columbus's historic voyage, believing he was heading to the Indies rather than a new continent. Bukilo's journey is marked by encounters with a sorceress and his romantic involvement with an Aztec widow during the Spanish conquest of Mexico. His personal diary, 'Apuntes de un falso bisnieto de Maimónides,' reveals his reflections on love, existence, and mortality amidst the chaos of conquest and cultural collision. Bukilo's unique perspective as a polizón (stowaway) and his philosophical musings about the nature of life and death make him a compelling figure in the narrative of exploration and identity.
