Documents 1 and 2 are notarial acts drafted in the formulaic legal terminology of the time. Although they are as dry and impersonal as legal documents of any age, they are, nonetheless, examples of the remaining documentary evidence relating to Christopher Columbus' s Italian roots, the Colombo family of Liguria. In Document 1 Domenico Colombo, son of the deceased Giovanni Colombo, and his son Christopher Columbus stipulate a compromise concerning a debt in an unspecified amount contracted with Gerolamo del Porto.
